1. WHAT ARE COOKIES AND WHY DO WE USE THEM?

A cookie is a file that is downloaded to the user’s device when accessing certain web pages to store and retrieve information about the navigation that is made from that computer.

Cookies allow the website, among other things, to store and retrieve information about the user’s decisions and habits. We use them to personalize the experience within our websites, identify and remember the registered user and facilitate navigation.

It is important to note that the use of cookies does not provide personal data of the user, who remains anonymous.

The user can configure their browser to not accept the use of cookies, in which case the personalization of the experience would not apply although they will still be able to access the content normally.

On the Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie) it is possible to obtain more information about what cookies are and how they work.

2. WHAT TYPE OF COOKIES ARE USED?

Statistical analysis cookies:

They are those that allow us to quantify the number of visitors and statistically analyze the use made by users of our services. Thanks to this we can study the navigation through the website and thus improve the supply of products or services we offer.

Technical and personalization cookies:

They are those that allow us to control aspects related to the user’s session, so that we can improve the browsing experience within the website. For example:

  • They allow us to recognize the user’s language.
  • Prevent or hinder attacks against the website or its users.
  • They help us to provide the correct reproduction of multimedia content.
  • They improve the performance, allowing to distribute the web traffic of our machines among several servers.
