Cookie Policy

Information provided in compliance with personal data protection legislation

 

1. What are cookies and what do we use them for? A cookie is a small file of information that is stored in your browser every time you visit our website. Cookies serve to record the history of your activity on our website so that, when you return, the site can recognise you and configure its content on the basis of your browsing habits, identity and preferences. A cookie is harmless: it contains no malicious code (viruses, trojans, worms and the like) capable of damaging your device (computer, smartphone, tablet, etc.), but it does have a bearing on your right to data protection, since it collects certain information concerning you (browsing habits, identity, preferences, etc.).

2. What information does a cookie store? Cookies do not normally collect special categories of personal data (sensitive data). The data they store is technical in nature: personal preferences, content personalisation and similar.

3. What types of cookies are there? Broadly speaking, there are five types of cookie:

• Technical cookies: The most basic cookies. They allow the user to browse a website, platform 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, completing the purchase process, submitting a registration or an application to take part in an event, using security features while browsing, storing content for video or audio streaming, or sharing content through social networks.

• Personalisation cookies: Cookies that allow the user to access the service with certain general characteristics predefined on the basis of a set of criteria present on the user’s device, such as the language, the browser used to access the service or the regional settings of the location from which the service is accessed.

• Analytics cookies: Cookies that allow the party responsible for them to monitor and analyse the behaviour of users of the websites to which they are linked. The information gathered through this type of cookie is used to measure activity on the website, application or platform and to build browsing profiles of its users, with the aim of introducing improvements based on the analysis of how the service is used.

• Advertising cookies: Cookies that allow the most efficient possible management of any advertising space that the party responsible has included on a website, application or platform from which the requested service is provided, on the basis of criteria such as the content published or the frequency with which the advertisements are shown.

• Behavioural advertising cookies: Cookies that allow the most efficient possible management of any advertising space that the party responsible has included on a website, application or platform from which the requested service is provided. These cookies store information on user behaviour obtained through continuous observation of browsing habits, which makes it possible to build a specific profile and display advertising accordingly.

4. What are first-party and third-party cookies?

• First-party cookies: Cookies generated and managed by the party responsible for providing the service requested by the user.

• Third-party cookies: Cookies generated by entities other than the party responsible (external services or providers, such as Google).

This website uses analytics cookies and third-party cookies. Your browsing on our website is analysed in order to improve the services we offer you.

This application has been developed by Google, which provides us with the service of measuring and analysing the audience of our pages. Google may also use this data to improve its own services and to offer services to other companies. You can find out about those other uses through the links indicated. These tools do not obtain data about your name or surname, nor about the postal address from which you connect. The information they obtain relates to the number of page views, the language, the social network on which our news items are published, the city assigned to the IP address from which you access the site, the number of new users, the frequency and recurrence of visits, the length of the visit, and the browser, operator or type of device from which the visit is made. We use this information to improve our pages, detect new needs and assess the improvements to be introduced, with the aim of providing a better service to visitors — for example by adapting our pages to the most widely used browsers or devices.

6. What can I do about cookies? Cookies can be deleted, accepted or blocked as you wish; you simply need to configure your web browser accordingly. You can prevent the installation of cookies on your device at any time (blocking) through the corresponding option in your browser, although in that case we cannot guarantee that the various features of our website will work correctly.
