Cookies and local storage policy

Browsing this website necessarily involves the use of cookies and similar technologies whenever they are required for its operation. Likewise, for certain purposes, cookies and local storage will be subject to your prior consent. You can accept or reject cookies through the configuration system in place and you may also configure your browser to prevent their use.

This policy is part of our privacy policy.

What are cookies?

"Cookies" are small temporary files that are created on the user's device (computer, phone, tablet, etc.) when they visit a website, and that allow the website to store or retrieve information while browsing — for example, to save usage preferences, recognise the user on later visits or obtain information about their browsing habits.

When a website creates a cookie on the user's device, the address/domain of the website that created the cookie, the duration of the cookie (which can range from a few minutes to several years) as well as the content of the cookie are stored. The user can disable cookies at any time through the configuration system of this website, as well as configure their browser to block the use of cookies by certain websites or delete previously stored cookies.

What are cookies used for?

The most common uses or purposes are:

• Essential technical cookies. Used to manage the navigation flow within the website or to keep the user logged in. Disabling them may prevent some sections of the website from working properly.
• Personalisation cookies. Required to remember certain user preferences.
• Analytics cookies. Help us and third parties collect information about user origin and navigation within the website, in order to perform statistical analysis to improve structure and content.
• Advertising cookies. Used to manage the advertisements displayed on the website and to decide content or frequency of ads.
• Behavioural advertising cookies. Help collect the user's browsing habits to build an interest profile and show ads tailored to it.
• Social sharing cookies. Required to identify the user on their social networks and allow content sharing.

What do we mean by technologies similar to cookies?

Similar technologies are any kind of storage and retrieval mechanism used on the user's device to obtain information. The most common include:

• Local browser storage. Some websites use local storage called "sessionStorage" and "localStorage", as well as the browser's indexed database, to store information.
• Local storage of browser plugins, such as Flash local storage ("Flash Local Shared Objects") or Silverlight local storage ("Isolated Objects").
• The "web beacon" is a tracking technique that consists of inserting an image hosted on an internet server into a web page (or email), so that when the browser or email client connects to the server to download and display the image, the connection is logged. This makes it possible to know that the user has viewed the page or email. Sometimes the image is very small or transparent so the user does not notice it.
• "Fingerprinting" techniques that combine information obtained from the browser or browsing device to distinguish a user across successive visits to different websites.

What are third-party cookies? Who are the recipients of the information?

Cookies on this website can be classified, depending on who creates them, into two categories:

• First-party cookies: are created and managed from our own websites and domains; the information obtained is managed directly or indirectly by us for our own purposes.
• Third-party cookies: are cookies created and managed from other websites which, although not entirely under our control, provide functions and features that we choose to include in our website, such as: interactive maps, videos and multimedia elements, social network sharing buttons, ads, etc. These cookies are under the control of the third party providing the corresponding function.

The vast majority of third-party features involve access to or collection of information (and the use of cookies) by the third party providing the function, based on its own criteria and purposes, including the collection of browsing habits to show personalised advertising. The next section indicates the third-party functions and features used on this website.

How long are cookies or similar technologies kept active?

Depending on their persistence or activity time, we can distinguish between:

• Temporary session cookies: they remain stored on the browsing device until the user leaves the website; the browser deletes them at the end of the browsing session.
• Persistent cookies: they remain on the browsing device and the website reads them every time the user visits again. These cookies are automatically deleted after a certain period, which can be short or very long.

This policy includes information about cookie duration; for more information, consult our privacy policy, as well as the information provided in the privacy policies of the third-party web feature providers.
