Cookies Policy

Cookies are used on this Website to facilitate browsing, for security reasons, and to achieve greater efficiency and personalization of the services offered to Users.

What is a cookie?

Cookies are a tool used by web servers to store and retrieve information about their visitors. They are simply a unique identifier in the form of a text file that some servers send to the user’s device to record information about their activity on the website’s pages, thereby improving the quality and security of the website. Cookies have an expiration date, which may range from the duration of the session to a future date after which they cease to be operational.

Types of cookies

Depending on the entity that manages the domain from which the cookies are sent and processes the data obtained, two types can be distinguished:

  • First‑party cookies: These are generated by the website you are visiting. They can be very diverse and are generally used to improve the user experience when accessing a website.
  • Third‑party cookies: Unlike first‑party cookies, these do not originate from the website owner but are generated by external services or providers. These cookies are also downloaded to the user’s hard drive, but unlike first‑party cookies, they are stored on the advertiser’s server.

If cookies are installed from a device or domain managed by the website owner but the information collected is processed by a third party, they cannot be considered first‑party cookies.

There is also a second classification based on the length of time they remain stored in the user’s browser:

  • Session cookies: These are designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website. As the name suggests, they remain stored on the device until the browsing session ends.
  • Persistent cookies: These are data files stored on the user’s device that allow information from previous browsing sessions to be retrieved on subsequent visits. They have an expiration date that extends beyond the end of the session. These cookies allow us to personalize visits based on user preferences (for example: country or language).

Finally, there is another classification based on the purpose for which the collected data is processed:

  • Analytics or tracking cookies: These are installed on the user’s device when they first visit a website and are used to collect various data about each user.
  • External social media cookies: These allow visitors to interact with content on different social media platforms (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.) and are generated only for users of those networks.
  • Functional cookies: These are necessary to correctly display the website/app and ensure proper operation. They help provide a better browsing experience. An example is cookies used to store language preferences.
  • Technical cookies: These allow the user to browse a website, platform, or application and use the different options or services available, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, remembering items in a shopping cart, completing a purchase process, registering for an event, using security features during browsing, storing content for video or audio playback, or sharing content through social networks.

Disabling and deleting cookies

You can allow, block, or delete cookies installed on your device by configuring the browser options installed on your device. Disabling cookies may cause some available services to stop functioning. The method for disabling cookies varies depending on the browser, but it is usually done through the Tools or Options menu. You can also consult the browser’s Help menu for instructions. Users may choose at any time which cookies they want to enable on this website.
