This COOKIE POLICY describes the cookies used, their purposes, names, provider or sending server, expiry periods and, where applicable, the existence of international data transfers. The legal basis for the use of strictly functional cookies is that the processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation under Spanish Law 34/2002 on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce.

The legal basis for the use of cookies for analytics and optimisation purposes is the consent requested, in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679. Our website uses cookies solely in order to provide a better service and offer an improved browsing experience.

WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small text files that certain website servers store on the User’s hard drive with the User’s consent and that contain information about the User’s activity on those pages, such as the time spent on a given screen, access to specific information about a particular product, and similar information. Most cookies have an expiry date, which may range from the duration of the session to a specified future date, after which they cease to operate.

Cookies are essential for the operation of the internet, providing numerous advantages in the delivery of interactive services and facilitating the User’s browsing and use of the Website. Enabling cookies also helps identify and resolve potential Website errors. Under no circumstances can cookies damage the User’s device.

COOKIES USED BY THIS WEBSITE

Likewise, our Website cannot read cookies placed on the User’s hard drive by other servers.

The User may freely decide whether or not to allow the cookies used by our Website to be placed on their hard drive. In this regard, the User may configure their browser to accept or reject all cookies by default, or to display an on-screen notice each time a cookie is received, allowing the User to decide at that time whether or not to permit the cookie to be placed on their hard drive. To do so, we recommend consulting the help section of your browser to learn how to change your current settings.

The User has the right to reject all cookies or to allow only those considered necessary for operation, and may continue browsing our Website normally, with the sole drawback that certain functionalities requiring the installation of a cookie on their device may not be available.

In any event, the User may delete the cookies placed on their hard drive at any time by following the procedure established in the help section of their browser, as detailed below.

Pursuant to Article 22.2 of Spanish Law 34/2002 on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce, if you decide to continue browsing with all cookies enabled, you will be giving your consent to the use of the cookies detailed below.

OUR COOKIES ALSO OPERATE:

According to the period of time for which they remain active, for example:

a) Session cookies: these are temporary cookies that remain in the User’s browser cookie file until the User leaves the website, meaning that they are not recorded on the hard drive of the User’s computer. The information obtained through these cookies is used to analyse website traffic patterns.

In the long term, this enables us to provide a better experience by improving content and making the website easier to use.

b) Persistent cookies: these are stored on the User’s hard drive and are read by our website each time the User makes a new visit. A persistent cookie has a specified expiry date and will cease to operate after that date.

According to their purpose, for example:

a) Strictly necessary cookies: these cookies are required to enable proper browsing of our Website and to ensure that content loads efficiently, allowing the correct use of the different options or services available on it.

Analytical and aggregated cookies are included to measure site traffic and pages visited.

b) Analytics and optimisation cookies: these cookies, whether first-party or third-party, enable us to optimise the User’s experience on the Website by assessing its performance and improving it through the addition of new functionalities.

c) Personalisation cookies: these allow the User’s preference information to be stored in order to improve the quality of our services and offer a better experience.

HOW LONG WILL WE RETAIN THE INFORMATION?

We will retain the information for as long as necessary to provide the requested service, until you object to its processing or until you withdraw your consent. In the latter two cases, for as long as the information is necessary for the exercise or defence of legal or contractual claims, it will be duly blocked and we will not be able to use it. Once that period has elapsed, your data will be permanently deleted.
