COOKIE POLICY
What are cookies?
In English, the term “cookie” means a sweet treat, but in the context of web browsing, a “cookie” is something entirely different. When you access our website, a small amount of text, known as a “cookie,” is stored on your device’s browser. This text contains various information about your browsing, habits, preferences, content customizations, etc.
There are other technologies that function similarly and are also used to collect data about your browsing activity. We will refer to all these technologies collectively as “cookies.”
The specific uses of these technologies are described in this document.
What are cookies used for on this website?
Cookies are an essential part of how the website functions. The main purpose of our cookies is to enhance your browsing experience. For example, they help remember your preferences (language, country, etc.) during and between visits. The information collected in cookies also allows us to improve the site, tailor it to your interests as a user, speed up searches, etc.
In certain cases, if we have obtained your prior informed consent, we may use cookies for other purposes, such as to collect information that allows us to display advertising based on the analysis of your browsing habits.
What are cookies NOT used for on this website?
The cookies we use do not store sensitive personal identification information such as your name, address, password, etc.
Who uses the information stored in cookies?
The information stored in the cookies on our website is used exclusively by us, except for those identified later as “third-party cookies,” which are used and managed by external entities providing us with services that enhance the user experience. For example, statistics collected about the number of visits, most liked content, etc., are usually managed by Google Analytics.

What types of cookies are used on this website?
Each website uses its own cookies. On our website, we use the following:
ACCORDING TO THE ENTITY MANAGING THEM
First-Party Cookies: These are sent to the user’s terminal from a machine or domain managed by the editor itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided.
Third-Party Cookies: These are sent to the user’s terminal from a machine or domain not managed by the editor, but by another entity that processes data obtained through cookies.
If cookies are served from a machine or domain managed by the editor but the information collected is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered as first-party cookies if the third party uses them for its own purposes (for example, improving its services or providing advertising services to other entities).
ACCORDING TO PURPOSE
Technical Cookies: These are necessary for navigation and the proper functioning of our website, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying sessions, accessing restricted areas, requesting registration or participation in an event, counting visits for software license billing purposes, using security elements during navigation, storing content for video or audio dissemination, enabling dynamic content (e.g., text or image loading animation), or sharing content via social networks.
- Analysis Cookies: These allow us to quantify the number of users and perform statistical measurement and analysis of the use users make of the website.
- Preference or Personalization Cookies: These allow us to remember information so that the user accesses the service with certain features that can differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as language, the number of search results displayed, the appearance or content of the service depending on the type of browser through which the user accesses the service, or the region from which the service is accessed, etc.
ACCORDING TO THE TIME PERIOD THEY REMAIN ACTIVE
- Session Cookies: These are designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a web page. They are used to store information relevant only for the provision of the requested service on a single occasion (e.g., a list of purchased products) and disappear when the session ends.
- Persistent Cookies: These are cookies in which data remains stored on the terminal and can be accessed and processed over a defined period by the cookie’s responsible party, which may range from minutes to several years. The use of persistent cookies should be specifically assessed since privacy risks could be reduced by using session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, their duration should be minimized according to their purpose. For this reason, the Article 29 Working Party’s Opinion 4/2012 stated that for a cookie to be exempt from the requirement for informed consent, its expiration should be related to its purpose. Thus, session cookies are much more likely to be considered exempt than persistent cookies.
