What Types of Cookies Are Used on This Website?

Each website uses its own cookies. On our Website, we use the following types:

According to the Entity Managing Them

First-party cookies:
These are cookies sent to the User’s device from a device or domain managed by the Website owner and from which the requested service is provided.

Third-party cookies:
These are cookies sent to the User’s device from a device or domain not managed by the Website owner, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.

If cookies are served from a domain managed by the Website owner but the information collected is managed by a third party for its own purposes (such as improving its services or providing advertising services), they will not be considered first-party cookies.

According to Their Purpose

Technical cookies:
These are necessary for browsing and the proper functioning of the Website, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying sessions, accessing restricted areas, processing registrations or event participation requests, counting visits for software licensing purposes, using security elements during navigation, storing content for video or audio playback, or enabling dynamic content.

Analytics cookies:
These allow us to quantify the number of users and perform statistical measurement and analysis of how users use the Website.

Preference or personalization cookies:
These allow the Website to remember information so that the User accesses the service with certain characteristics that differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as language, number of search results displayed, browser type, or access region.

Behavioral advertising cookies:
These cookies, processed by us or by third parties, allow us to analyze your Internet browsing habits in order to display advertising related to your browsing profile.

According to the Length of Time They Remain Active

Session cookies:
These are designed to collect and store data while the User accesses a web page. They are typically used to store information relevant only for providing the requested service on a single occasion and are deleted when the session ends.

Persistent cookies:
These cookies store data on the User’s device and allow access and processing for a defined period set by the cookie owner, which may range from a few minutes to several years.

The use of persistent cookies should be carefully assessed, as privacy risks can be reduced by using session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are used, it is recommended to limit their duration to the minimum necessary according to their purpose.

According to Opinion 4/2012 of the Article 29 Working Party, for a cookie to be exempt from informed consent requirements, its expiration must be related to its purpose. As a result, session cookies are more likely to be exempt than persistent cookies.
