Cookie Policy
What are cookies?
A cookie is a file that is downloaded to your computer when you access certain web pages. Among other things, cookies allow a web page to store and retrieve information about the browsing habits of a user or their computer, and depending on the information they contain and how the computer is used, they can be used to recognise the user.
This website uses cookies and/or similar technologies that store and retrieve information when you browse. In general, these technologies can serve very diverse purposes, such as, for example, recognising you as a user, obtaining information about your browsing habits, or personalising how content is displayed. The specific uses we make of these technologies are described below.
What types of cookies are there?
According to who manages them:
- First-party cookies: these are cookies that are sent to the user's device from the domain managed by the website visited and from which the service requested by the user is provided.
- Third-party cookies: these are those sent to the user's device from a domain that is not managed by the website being visited, but by another entity that processes
According to the purpose:
- Technical cookies: these are cookies that allow the user to navigate a website and use the different options or services available on it, including those that allow us to manage and operate the website and enable its functions and services, such as, for example, controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, remembering the items that make up an order, carrying out the order purchase process, managing payment, controlling fraud, requesting registration or participation in an event, counting visits, etc.
- Preference or customisation cookies: these are cookies that allow information to be remembered so that the user can access the service with certain characteristics that can differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as, for example, the language, the number of results to display when the user performs a search, 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 they access the service, etc.
- Analytical cookies: These are cookies that allow us to quantify the number of users and thereby measure and statistically analyse how users make use of the service offered. To do this, their browsing on our website is analysed in order to improve the range of products or services we offer you.
- Advertising cookies: These are cookies that allow us to manage the advertising space on the website in the most effective way possible, by tailoring the content of the advert to the content of the service requested or to your use of our website. To do this, we can analyse your internet browsing habits and show you advertising related to your browsing profile.
According to the period of stay:
- Session cookies: These are cookies designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website. They are typically used to store information that is only of interest for the provision of the service requested by the user on a single occasion (for example, a list of purchased products) and disappear when the session ends.
- Persistent cookies: these are cookies where the data remains stored on the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie controller, which can range from a few minutes to several years.
