Most of the web pages use cookies, mainly to improve the user experience. In general, cookies cannot harm the equipment that stores them, but some users prefer to block them and delete the ones already installed. So that you can decide what to do with them, we explain what cookies are, which type we use on our website and how to configure their settings.

Through our cookie configuration and consent tool you can select which cookies you want to install, accept them all, or reject them all, except those strictly necessary for the operation of the web page.

What is a cookie?

Cookies are strings of information that are saved on your desktop, laptop or mobile device when you visit a website. Once saved, when you visit this website again, your browser sends these cookies back to this website or to another website that recognizes these cookies.

Other similar technologies

“Pixels” or “Web Beacons”

These are technologies similar to cookies. Specifically, the Pixel or Web Beacon is a small graphic file that allows us to monitor the use of our web pages, as well as to use it for advertising purposes. These files may collect information such as the IP address of the computer that downloads the page on which the pixel or web beacon is located, the URL of the page on which the pixel or web beacon appears, the time spent on the page which contains the tracking pixel, the type of browser receiving this pixel or web beacon and the identification number of any computer cookie previously installed by this server.

Fingerprint or digital print

In addition to the information collected through Pixels or Web Beacons, we can use other techniques similar to Cookies, such as fingerprints or digital footprints. These tools are used to identify and track the activity carried out by the user and make a profile through the information collected which includes, for example, the IP address, browser, resolution of the screen, operating system, language used, time zone, etc.

In any case, their purpose is similar to that of cookies, so in the future when reference is made to cookies, pixels or web beacons will also be included.

Next, we explain the different types of cookies that exist and that we can use on our website, without prejudice to the information that you can access through the tool itself, by pressing the “Show details” button, where you will find the details of the ones that are actually installed every time:

What cookies do we use on our website?

According to the duration of the cookies:

Session cookies: they are temporary cookies that remain in the browser’s cookie file until you leave the website and are not recorded on the device’s hard drive. The information obtained through these cookies is used to analyze traffic patterns on the web. In the long run they allow to provide a better experience to improve its content and facilitate its use.

Permanent cookies: They are stored on the hard drive and the website reads them every time you visit the page again. A cookie of this type has a specific expiry date. The cookie will stop working after this date.

Likewise, cookies can be “own” or “third-party”. The first are those that are sent to the user’s computer from a computer or domain managed by us, while “third party” cookies are those that are sent to the user’s computer from of a computer or domain managed by contracted service providers (for example, the web analytics service).

According to the purpose of the cookies:

Technical cookies for internal use and functional cookies

This website uses cookies for internal use that are essential for the operation of the website, such as those that allow the authentication or the maintenance of the session of the registered user when browsing the page and that are necessary for the operation of the Web page.

Likewise, we install functional cookies that improve the usability of the web page, and allow certain additional functionalities, whether personalization such as the choice of language, or security and optimization of the functioning of the web page. Disabling these cookies prevents the correct functioning of these website functionalities and therefore you may not be able to use them or navigate correctly.

Social Network Functionality Cookies.

Our website incorporates spaces and content in which social buttons have been included so that users can share our content on social networks.

We do not control the cookies that each social network installs, although these are usually techniques for logging in or displaying a counter that shows how many times certain content has been shared.

We recommend that all users review the privacy and cookie conditions of each social network, and if applicable, modify the privacy settings in each of them to limit the tracking purposes that, if applicable, they may carry out.

Since these cookies are only installed or run if the user makes use of this functionality, they are considered technical and cannot be blocked.

Analytical cookies

This website uses analytical cookies to request statistics on the user’s activity on the website and its general activity. The information collected makes it possible to optimize navigation through our website and guarantee the best service to the user, knowing for example the number of pages visited, the language used, the frequency and recurrence of visits, the time of visits or the browser used, among others. The user can exclude your activity through our Cookies configurator, the exclusion systems facilitated by the analytical tools or through the configuration of your browser itself.

Advertising cookies

These are cookies stored by third parties that manage the advertising spaces that users view when accessing this website. These cookies allow us to measure the effectiveness of our online campaigns, provide the user with information of interest and offer advertising content of their preference.

More information

You can get more information about the exact cookies we use on our website by using our cookie settings tool, by clicking the “Show details” button, where you can also select and configure which cookies you allow us to install.

This tool is shown to all users on their first visit to the website, and is accessible at all times at the bottom of the page.

How to configure cookie settings.

You can manage and control your cookie settings in a number of ways.

Please note that if you delete or block cookies some or all of the web pages you visit (or functions on those pages) may not work correctly or as effectively as before.

If you disable our technical cookies or delete all cookies, your preferences will not be saved and you will be informed about our cookies each time you visit our website. You can configure them from our consent tool, your web browser, as well as from the web pages of those third parties that install cookies on your device through our web pages.

1. Set cookies using our consent tool

We have implemented a tool that allows you to obtain information about the cookies installed by our website, where you will find the following information:

Cookie name: This is the technical name of the cookie, and it helps you to identify and locate it in your browser if you want to, for example, delete it manually.
Domain: Indicates the origin of the cookie and, therefore, whether it is our own (because it originates from a domain owned by us), or if it belongs to third parties (because it originates from third-party domains).
Expiration: It is the term during which each cookie will remain installed on the device.
Description: Indicates the purpose and functionality of this particular cookie.

Through this tool, the user can press “Accept cookies”, that is, accept them all, “Do not accept cookies”, that is, reject them all, or select from among the available options those that you want to allow install and those that don’t.

Likewise, you can change your choice at any time by pressing the “Cookie settings” button that you will find at the foot of our website, and which will be available at all times during your browsing.

2. Disable cookies from your web browser

Most web browsers provide you with information about cookies, allowing you to see which cookies you have installed, delete them all or individually, and allow you to block or allow cookies from all web pages or some that you select.

You can also disable third-party advertising cookies separately.

Please note that if you set cookie settings from your web browser, the changes will affect all web pages you visit (not just ours), unless you delete or block each cookie separately.

You will find information about cookies in the “Help” section of your web browser. We explain how to access the cookie settings of the most used browsers.

3. Use third-party tools or browsers

There are tools, usually free, that allow the user to block cookies from web pages, or select on which pages you want to allow their installation.

These tools are known as “Do Not Track” tools, and you can find them for most existing browsers.

Likewise, some browsers already incorporate this type of functionality, so you can configure it directly without the need to install third-party tools.

4. Consequences of deleting cookies

If at any time you delete cookies from your browser or device, please note that your cookie preferences and settings will also be deleted.

In any case, when you visit our website again, we will again request your consent for its installation.
