In compliance with legal requirements on data protection, you are informed that this website uses first- and third-party cookies.

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a file that is stored on your device when you enter a website. Its purpose is to store and retrieve information about browsing on the device.

Types of Cookie

Depending on the controller of the cookies:

• First-party cookies:

  these are sent to the user's computer terminal from a computer or domain managed by the publisher of the website and from which the service requested by the user is provided.

• Third-party cookies:

  these are sent to the user's computer terminal from a computer or domain that is not managed by the site publisher, but by another organisation that processes the data obtained through the cookies.
   

  Types of third-party cookie:

  • Load-balancing cookies: used to obtain data that can help control, split and manage server congestion. These cookies are considered necessary for communication across the Net. They only identify the server and therefore contain no personal data.
  • Cookies for customising the user interface: among other purposes, these are used to record the user's preferred language or content format. They do not require any particular identifier and therefore do not constitute personal information.

• Depending on how long the cookie remains active on the device (the lifetime):

  • Session cookies: these are temporary cookies that are stored in your device's memory only until you close the browser. They are never stored on your hard disk. The information obtained using these cookies is used to analyse patterns of web traffic. In the long run, this allows us to provide a better experience by improving content and making the site easier to use.
  • Persistent cookies: these are stored on the hard disk and read by our website whenever you revisit the site. A persistent cookie can be accessed and processed for a given period, defined by the cookie developer. After this expiry time, it will cease to function.

• Depending on the purpose of the cookies, they may be classified as follows: :

  • Technical cookies: Allow the user to browse the web-site, platform or application and use the different options or services on it.
  • Customisation cookies: Allow the user to access the service with certain predefined general features, based on a series of criteria stored on the user's terminal, such as language, browser type, regional configuration, etc.
  • Analytical cookies: Enable the controller to monitor and analyse the behaviour of users of the websites to which they are linked. The information collected using this type of cookie is used to measure traffic on the site, application or platform and to profile the users' browsing habits on these sites, applications and platforms, with a view to introducing improvements based on an analysis of usage data.

• Advertising cookies

  Allow effective management of any advertising spaces the publisher includes on a website, application or platform from which the requested service is provided, based on criteria such as the contents published or the frequency with which the advertisements are displayed.

• Behavioural advertising cookies

  These cookies store information on users' behaviour collected through continuous monitoring of their browsing habits to allow a specific profile to be created, based on which appropriate advertisements can be displayed.
