There are other technologies that work similarly and are also used to collect data about your browsing activity. We will refer to all these technologies collectively as “cookies.”
The specific uses we make of these technologies are described in this document.

What types of cookies are used on this website?
Each website uses its own cookies. On our website, we use the following:
ACCORDING TO THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES THEM
- First-party cookies: these are sent to the user’s device from a computer or domain managed by the editor itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided.
- Third-party cookies: these are sent to the user’s device from a computer or domain that is not managed by the editor but by another entity that processes the data obtained through cookies.
If the cookies are served from a computer or domain managed by the editor itself, but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered first-party cookies if the third party uses them for its own purposes (for example, improving the services provided or providing advertising services on behalf of other entities).
ACCORDING TO THEIR PURPOSE
- Technical cookies: these are necessary for browsing and the proper functioning of our website, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access areas, remembering the elements that make up an order, completing the purchase process, managing payment, controlling fraud related to the security of the service, making a request for registration or participation in an event, counting visits for the billing of licenses for the software that powers the service (website, platform, or application), using security elements during browsing, storing content for the dissemination of videos or sound, enabling dynamic content (e.g., loading animations for text or images), or sharing content through social networks.
- Analysis cookies: these allow the quantification of the number of users and thus carry out the measurement and statistical analysis of how users use the offered service. To do this, we analyze your browsing on our website to improve the range of products or services we offer.
- Preference or personalization cookies: these allow remembering information so that the user can access the service with certain characteristics that may differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as 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 the service is accessed, etc.
