Cookie policy

What are cookies?

Cookies are small files containing information that are stored in your web browser when you access and use certain websites. These files allow websites to retrieve information about your browsing habits and preferences or about the device from which you connect.

Although they are essential for providing a good service, depending on the type of information they contain they may pose a risk to your privacy. For this reason, Spanish legislation requires that, before certain types of cookies are installed in users’ browsers, users must be informed in advance and their consent obtained. Through this Cookie Policy we wish to inform you clearly and sufficiently about the type of cookies we use on this website.

What types of cookies do we use?

On this website we use cookies to make browsing easier and to provide you with a better browsing experience. The cookies we use can be divided into the following categories:

According to where they are sent from:

a) First-party cookies: cookies sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a device or domain managed by us and from which the service requested by the user is provided.

b) Third-party cookies: cookies sent to your browser from a device or domain that is not managed by us but by another collaborating entity.

According to how long they remain active:

a) Session cookies: designed to collect and store data while the user is accessing our website. They are usually used to store information that only needs to be kept in order to provide the service requested by the user on a single occasion.

b) Persistent cookies: the data remains stored on the device and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the party responsible for the cookie, which may range from a few minutes to several years.

According to their purpose:

a) Technical cookies: these are essential for the website to function. They allow the user to browse and use the various options or services available, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, using security features while browsing or sharing content through social networks.

b) Analytics cookies: their purpose is to analyse the user’s behaviour and use of the Website. They make it possible to quantify the number of users who visit the Website and to identify which sections of the Website are visited most and are therefore the most popular.

c) Personalisation cookies: these allow the user to access the service with certain predefined general features based on a series of criteria on the user’s device, such as the language, the type of browser used to access the service, the regional settings from which the service is accessed, etc.

d) Cookies used by external content plug-ins: these are necessary for the provision of certain services and are stored by third parties. This category includes, for example, YouTube, which records a unique identifier in order to keep statistics on which videos the user has watched. These are cookies used to store technical data needed to play video or audio content, such as image quality, loading parameters, etc.

Which cookies and tools does this website use?

When you visit the website, we show you a banner so that you can accept, reject or choose which cookies you want. Measurement and advertising cookies are only installed if you accept them.

Google Consent Mode. Google tags are always loaded, but without cookies until you give your consent. If you reject cookies, Google only receives signals without identifiers (for example, that a form has been submitted), which it uses in aggregate form to estimate campaign results. No cookie is stored on your device and you are not identified.

Meta pixel. This is only loaded if you accept advertising cookies.

Google and Meta may process data outside the European Economic Area with the safeguards provided for in the GDPR (EU–US Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses). More information: Google privacy and Meta privacy policy.

How can you control cookies?

Please note that you can set your preferences regarding our website and the third parties that install cookies at any time using any of the following options:

• By clicking Cookie settings in the footer of every page, or the cookie icon shown at the bottom left of the screen.
  
• You can also easily change your browser preferences to control for yourself which cookies are allowed on your computer and which you prefer to restrict, although some services may then not be available to you.

This last option is usually found in the ‘options’ or ‘preferences’ menu of your browser. If you use any of the following browsers, simply select the link and follow the instructions given on the linked page:

• Cookie preferences in Internet Explorer
  
• Microsoft Edge preferences
  
• Cookie preferences in Chrome

However, if you change your preferences and restrict cookie access to your device, some of the website’s features may stop working and your browsing may be hindered as a result.

Finally, you can contact various advertising industry organisations where, in addition to finding useful information, you can set your preferences for third-party advertising cookies provider by provider. In particular, we would highlight:

• Your Online Choices
  
• Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA)

Changes to the Cookie Policy

We make this Cookie Policy available to you so that you can consult, save or print it whenever you see fit. It may be amended as a result of changes to the website or to the cookies used, new legislation or case law, or new criteria established by the Spanish Data Protection Agency (Agencia Española de Protección de Datos) or the relevant Supervisory Authority (www.aepd.es).
