6. What kind of cookies are used on this website?
Each website uses different cookies. On our website we use the ones listed below:
Depending on the entity which manages them:
- Our own cookies: Those that 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: those sent to the user’s computer terminal from a computer or domain not managed by the webmaster, but by another entity which processes the data obtained through the cookies.
In the event that cookies are served from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself, but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered as own cookies if the third party uses them for their own purposes (for example, the improvement of the services it provides or the provision of advertising services in favour of other companies or bodies).
Depending on their purpose:
- Technical cookies: those that allow the user to navigate through a web page, for example, controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing parts with restricted access, remembering the elements that make up an order, carrying out the order purchase process, manage the payment, control the fraud linked to the security of the service, make the request for registration or participation in an event, count visits for the purposes of billing licenses for the software with which the service works (website, platform or application), usage of security elements while browsing, store content for the broadcast of videos or sound, enable dynamic content s (for example, animation of loading a text or image) or share content through social networks.
- Analysis cookies: those that allow to quantify the number of users and thus perform a measurement and statistical analysis of the users’ use of the services offered. With this in mind, its browsing is analysed on our website with a view to improving the offer of the products or services we provide.
- Preference or customisation cookies: those that allow the website to remember information so that the user can access the service with certain characteristics that differentiate their experience from that of other users: such as, for example, language, number of results displayed when the user performs a search, and the appearance or content of the service according to the type of browser through which the user accesses the service or the region from which the service is accessed, etc.
- Behavioural advertising: those which are processed by us or by third parties and allow us to analyse your browsing habits on the Internet so that we can show you advertising related to your browsing profile.
Depending on the length of time that they remain active:
- Session cookies: those designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website. They tend to be employed to store information that only needs to be kept to provide the service requested by the user a single time (for example, a list of products purchased) and disappear at the end of the session.
- Persistent cookies: those in which the data is still stored in the browser and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie manager, and which may range from a few minutes to several years. In particular, it should be considered whether the use of persistent cookies is necessary, as the privacy risks could be reduced by the use of session cookies. In any case, if persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to reduce their temporary duration to the minimum necessary according to the purpose of their use. To this end, WP29 Opinion 4/2012 states that, in order for a cookie to be exempted from the requirement of informed consent, its expiry date must be related to its purpose. For this reason, session cookies are much more likely to be exempted than persistent cookies.
