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 which allow it to store or retrieve information while they browse, for example, to save their usage preferences or to recognise them on subsequent visits, as well as to obtain information about their browsing habits.
When a website creates a cookie on the user’s device, it stores the address/domain of the website that created the cookie, the duration of the cookie, which may range from a few minutes to several years, as well as the content of the cookie. The user may disable cookies at any time through the configuration system of this website, as well as configure their browser to prevent (block) the use of cookies by certain websites and delete previously stored cookies.
What are cookies used for?
The most common uses or purposes are:
- Essential technical cookies. They are used to manage the flow of navigation within the website or to keep the user logged in. If they are disabled, some parts of the website may not function properly.
- Personalisation cookies. Needed to remember certain user preferences.
- Analytics cookies. They help us and third parties to collect information on where users come from and their browsing within the website, for the purpose of carrying out statistical analysis in order to improve the structure and content.
- Advertising cookies. Used to manage the ads that appear on the website, deciding the content or the frequency of the ads.
- Behavioural advertising cookies. They help collect the user’s browsing habits to create a profile of their interests and show them ads tailored to those interests.
- Social sharing cookies. These are necessary to identify the user on their social networks and thus allow them to share content.
What do we mean by technologies similar to cookies?
Technologies similar to cookies are understood as any type of data storage and retrieval mechanism used on the user’s device to obtain information. The most common include:
- The browser’s local storage. Some websites use local storage called “sessionStorage” and “localStorage”, as well as the browser’s indexed database, to store information;
- The local storage of browser plugins, such as Flash local storage (“Flash Local Shared Objects”) or Silverlight local storage (“Isolated Objects”).
- A “web beacon” is a tracking technique that consists of inserting in a web page (or in an e-mail) an image hosted on an Internet server so that, when the browser or e-mail program connects to said server to download and display the image, the connection is logged. This makes it possible to know that the user has viewed the web page or the e-mail. Sometimes this image is very small or transparent so that the user is not aware of its existence.
- “Fingerprinting” techniques that combine information obtained from the browser or browsing device to distinguish a user on their successive visits to different websites.
What are third-party cookies? Who are the recipients of the information?
The cookies on this website can be classified, depending on who creates them, into two categories:
- First-party cookies: they are created and managed from our own websites and domains, and the information obtained is managed directly or indirectly by us for our own purposes.
- Third-party cookies: these are cookies that are created and managed from other websites that, although not completely under our control, provide functions and features that we have decided to include on our website, such as: interactive maps, videos and multimedia elements, social media sharing buttons, ads, etc. These cookies are under the control of the third party that provides the corresponding function.
The vast majority of third-party functions involve access to or collection of information (and the use of cookies) by the third party that provides the function, based on its own criteria and purposes, including the collection of browsing habits to show personalised advertising. The following section indicates the third-party functions and features used on this website.

How long do cookies or similar technologies remain 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 each time the user makes a new visit. These cookies are automatically deleted after a certain period of time, which can be short or very long.
This policy includes information on the duration of the cookies; for more information, please consult our privacy policy, as well as the information provided in the privacy policies of third-party web function providers.
