Cookie policy
The Website uses cookies when a USER browses the sites and pages of the Website.
The USER may configure their browser to be notified on screen when cookies are received and to prevent them from being installed on their hard drive.
Please consult your browser's instructions and manuals for further information. In order to use the WEBSITE it is not necessary for the USER to allow the installation of the cookies sent by the website, notwithstanding that in such a case the User will need to register as a user of each of the services whose provision requires prior registration.
The use of cookies and other tracking technologies is standard across all websites and applications through which information about your online activities is collected via applications, websites, social networks or other services.
Below we provide further information about how we use cookies and similar technologies, and about how you can control and manage cookies.
1.- What is a cookie?
A cookie is a file that is downloaded to your computer when you access certain web pages. Cookies allow a website, among other things, to store and retrieve information about a user's browsing habits or their device and, depending on the information they contain and how the device is used, they may be used to recognise the user. The user's browser stores cookies on the hard drive only during the current session, taking up a minimal amount of memory and causing no harm to the computer. Cookies do not contain any specific personal information, and most of them are deleted from the hard drive when the browser session ends (so-called session cookies).
Most browsers accept cookies as standard and, regardless of this, allow or block temporary or stored cookies through their security settings.
2.- Why does this Website use cookies?
Cookies are used in order to improve your experience as a user and are therefore an important part of how our Website works. Among other purposes, they may be used to remember the language you use while browsing and on future visits.
3.- What information does a cookie store?
The cookies used by the website are associated solely with an anonymous USER and their computer and do not in themselves provide the USER's name and surname. Thanks to cookies it is possible to recognise registered USERS after they have registered for the first time, without them having to register on every visit in order to access the areas and services reserved exclusively for them. The cookies used cannot read data from your hard drive or read cookie files created by other providers. The USER's identifying data is encrypted for greater security.
Likewise, our web servers automatically detect the IP address and domain name used by the user. All this information is recorded in a server activity file that allows the subsequent processing of the data in order to obtain statistical measurements that let us know the number of page impressions, the number of visits to our web services, and so on.
Browsing information is processed anonymously and used exclusively to facilitate and analyse navigation on the Website. Google Analytics 4 (GA4) is activated only with the user's consent and is used solely for statistical purposes, without personally identifying visitors.
4.- What types of cookies exist?
- Technical cookies
- These allow the user to browse the website or application and to use the different options or services available on it. For example, controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, remembering the items making up an order, submitting a registration or event participation request, using security features while browsing and storing content for the streaming of video or audio.
- Analytics cookies
- These allow anonymous monitoring and analysis of user behaviour on websites. On this Website, Google Analytics 4 (GA4) is used solely for statistical purposes and only after the user's consent has been obtained.
- Personalisation cookies
- These allow the user to access the service with some general characteristics predefined on their device or defined by the user themselves. For example, the language, the type of browser used to access the service, the selected content layout, the geolocation of the device and the regional settings from which the service is accessed.
- Social cookies
- Those needed to link the website with its social networks.
- Advertising and preference cookies
- These allow the efficient management of the advertising space included in the website or application from which the service is provided. They make it possible to tailor advertising content so that it is relevant to the user and to avoid showing ads the user has already seen.
- Affiliate cookies
- These make it possible to know where visits to the website come from.
- Third-party cookies
- Some websites may install third-party cookies that allow the services offered to be managed and improved, such as the statistical services of Google Analytics and Comscore.
Depending on how long they last, they may be:
- Session cookies
- They expire when the browser is closed.
- Persistent cookies
- Their lifetime may vary, ending once they have fulfilled the purpose for which they were installed or when the user deletes them manually.
5.- You can allow, refuse or block cookies
The user may at any time choose which cookies they want to work on this website through their browser settings. For more information, search for “manage cookies” in your browser; the following information is provided as an example only, as it may vary.

Under the EU directive, the cookies that require the user's informed and express consent are analytics, advertising and affiliate cookies.
Cookies that are technical in nature and necessary for the operation of the website or the provision of services expressly requested by the user are exempt.
6.- Updates and changes to the Cookie Policy.
The controller may amend this Cookie Policy in line with changes in the use of cookies on its website, new legislative or regulatory requirements, or in order to adapt this policy to the instructions issued by the supervisory authorities, in particular the Spanish Data Protection Agency.
Significant changes to this Cookie Policy may therefore occur and will be published here. It is the User's responsibility to consult this Policy periodically in order to be aware of any change, notwithstanding the possibility of informing website users of such changes by means of a notice on our website and/or through other means.
