Cookie Policy
We use cookies on our website to improve performance and your user experience. This page explains how we do it.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer or mobile device via your browser when you visit it. Placing cookies will help the website recognise your device the next time you visit.
We use the term cookies in this policy to refer to all files that collect information in this way.
The cookies used do not collect information that identifies the user. Cookies collect generic information, such as how users arrive at and use the sites or the area of the country/countries through which they access the site, etc.
Cookies only retain information related to your preferences.
At any time, the user can choose to be notified of the receipt of cookies via their browser or block their entry into their system.
Refusing to use cookies on the website may result in you being unable to access some of its areas or receive personalised information.
What cookies are used for
Cookies are used to help determine the usefulness, interest and number of uses of websites, enabling faster and more efficient browsing and eliminating the need to repeatedly enter the same information.
What kind of cookies we use
Our cookies have different functions:
– Essential cookies - Some cookies are essential to access specific areas of our website.
They allow you to browse the site and use its applications, such as accessing secure areas of the site by logging in. Without these cookies, services that require them cannot be provided.
– Analytical cookies - We use these cookies to analyse how users use the site and monitor its performance. This allows us to provide a high-quality experience by personalising our offer and quickly identifying and correcting any problems that arise. For example, we use performance cookies to find out which pages are most popular, which method of linking between pages is most effective, or to determine why some pages are receiving error messages. Based on site usage, we may also use these cookies to highlight articles or services on the site that we think may be of interest to users. These cookies are only used for the purposes of creating and analysing statistics, without ever collecting personal information.
– Functionality cookies - We use functionality cookies to allow us to remember user preferences. For example, cookies avoid typing the user's name each time they access the site.
We also use functionality cookies to provide advanced services to the user, such as commenting on an article.
In a nutshell, functionality cookies save the user's preferences regarding the use of the site, so that you don't have to configure the site again each time you visit it.
– Third-party cookies - They serve to measure the success of applications and the effectiveness of third-party advertising.
– Advertising cookies - They serve to target advertising according to the interests of each user, making it possible to limit the number of times the advert is viewed. These cookies help measure the effectiveness of advertising. However, they do not identify the user
The cookies used may be:
– Permanent cookies -They are stored in the browser on your access devices (PC, mobile and tablet) and are used every time the user visits the site again. They are generally used to direct browsing according to the user's interests, allowing us to provide a more personalised service.
– Session cookies - They are temporary and remain in your browser's cookies until you leave the site. The information obtained allows us to identify problems and provide a better browsing experience.
