What are cookies?
Cookies are files that websites or applications install on the user’s browser or device (smartphone, tablet or connected TV) during their journey through the pages of the site or application, and serve to store information about their visit.
Like most sites on the internet, this website uses cookies to:
- Ensure that web pages can function correctly.
- Store preferences, such as the language you have selected or the font size.
- Understand the user’s browsing experience.
- Collect anonymous statistical information, such as which pages the user has visited or how long they have stayed on the website.
- The use of cookies makes it possible to optimise browsing, adapting the information and services offered to the user’s interests, in order to provide them with a better experience whenever they visit the website.
- This website uses cookies to function, adapt and facilitate user browsing as much as possible.
Types, purpose and how they work
Cookies can be divided into session cookies and persistent cookies depending on their duration. The former expire when the user closes the browser. The latter expire when the purpose for which they are used is fulfilled (for example, so that the user remains identified on the website) or when they are manually deleted.
Furthermore, depending on their purpose, cookies can be classified as follows
Strictly necessary (technical): These are essential for the correct functioning of the site. They are normally generated when the user accesses or logs on to the site and are used to identify the user on the site for the following purposes:
To identify the user so that they can continue to be identified when they leave the website, browser or device and when they access the website again, in order to facilitate browsing without having to identify themselves again.
To check whether the user is authorised to access certain services or areas of the website.
Performance: They are used to improve the browsing experience and optimise the functioning of the website, such as storing service configurations, or storing the purchase made in a shopping cart.
Advertising: These are those that collect information about the advertisements shown to users of the website. They can be of two types:
Anonymous: They only collect information about the advertising spaces displayed on the website, regardless of the user accessing the website, i.e. without expressly identifying the user.
Personalised: They collect personal information about the user of the website by a third party, for the personalisation of these advertising spaces.
Geo-location cookies: These Cookies are used to find out in which country or region the user is located when accessing a website service in order to offer content or services appropriate to their location.
Analytical: These cookies collect information about the user’s browsing experience on the website, normally anonymously, although sometimes they also allow the user to be uniquely and unequivocally identified in order to obtain reports on the interests of users in the services offered by the website.

What happens when I disable cookies?
Some functionalities and services may be disabled or behave differently than expected, such as, for example, remaining identified, keeping purchases in the “shopping cart” in an e-commerce service or receiving information directed to your location, among others.
If you disable the use of cookies on a website, it is likely that you will no longer be able to access certain areas of the website or that your browsing experience will be significantly degraded.
