Cookie Policy

In this Cookie Policy, you will find information on how we use cookies.

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file that a website, application or other platform stores on your computer, tablet, smartphone or other similar device, with information on how the user browses or uses the content in question, such as a device identification tag. Cookies are necessary, for example, to facilitate navigation and to learn how users interact with platforms so that they can be improved. They are also very useful to be able to provide advertisements tailored to the user's preferences, as well as for other purposes that will be described in detail later. Cookies do not harm your computer or device. When we refer to "cookies", we also refer to other similar technologies for installing and/or collecting information on your device (such as flash cookies, web beacons or bugs, pixels, HTML5 (local storage) technologies and SDKs for application formats). The cookies we use are described in detail in the cookie settings panel available on our Platform.

What types of cookies do we distinguish?

Please read this section, which provides an overview of the types of cookies that may be used in the online environment.

Depending on the purpose for which cookies are used, they can be divided into:

(a) Essential (technical) cookies: these are cookies that allow the user to navigate the website, make a registration request or participate in an event. Technical cookies, which are absolutely essential, are collected by default when they enable the platform to be displayed or the service requested by the user to be provided.

(b) Statistical cookies: These are cookies that allow us to quantify the number of users, the sections visited on the platform and how users interact with the platform in order to measure and statistically analyse the use of the platform by users and to make improvements based on the analysis of data concerning the use of the platform or service by users.

(c) Marketing cookies: these are cookies that store information about users' behaviour obtained through the continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows the development of a specific profile for displaying advertisements based on this information. These cookies make it possible to manage, in the most effective way, the advertising spaces that, where appropriate, the editor has enabled directly or in collaboration with third parties.

What are cookies used for on our Website?

Cookies are an essential part of the operation of our platform. The main purpose of our cookies is to provide a more comfortable and efficient browsing experience. For example, they are used to remember your preferences (language, country, etc.) during navigation and on future visits. We also use our cookies to continuously improve our services. The information collected in cookies also allows us to improve our Platform by estimating statistical data and usage patterns (number of visits, most visited sections, time of visit, etc.) in order for us to have a statistical view of how users interact with the Platform, so we can improve our services, as well as tailor the Platform to your specific interests, speed up searches, etc.

How can you manage the use of cookies on our Website?

In the cookie configuration panel available at any time on our Platform, you will find all the information on the cookies used by this Platform, together with information on the purpose, duration and management (either your own or by a third party) of each cookie, so that you can manage the activation and deactivation of the use of those cookies that are not absolutely essential for the operation of the Platform. When you disable cookies, if possible, the cookies concerned will be deleted from your browser, and in any case where you reject cookies but they cannot be deleted, we will always proceed to block them. Therefore, we will never use rejected cookies and will make every effort to delete them (however, please note that some deletion mechanisms are beyond our control as they depend on the third parties responsible for the cookies in question). Alternatively, if you are browsing the Internet, you can disable cookies in your browser.

We show you how to do this in the most popular browsers:

• Chrome
• Microsoft Edge
• Mozilla Firefox

You can use the option to avoid the use of cookies at any time. However, you must bear in mind that both the management of the cookie configuration panel and the option to reject cookies are specific to each browser you use. Therefore, if you choose to configure cookies in one way on one device and you want your choice to apply on another device, you must activate the same option for that other device. As an additional step, with regard to third-party cookies, to provide advertisements based on your interests, you must be aware that some third parties may be members of any of the following self-regulatory online behavioural advertising programmes, which provide corresponding opt-out options:

• Network Advertising Initiative (NAI)
• Google Analytics
