Browsing this website with cookies and local storage mechanisms activated necessarily implies the acceptance of their use in accordance with this policy. If not accepted, it is possible to configure the browser to prevent their use.

Cookies and local storage are part of the necessary technology for the functioning of a website and are not inherently harmful, but it is important that you are aware of the implications they have for your privacy.

This policy is part of our privacy policy and includes the following:

• What are cookies?
• What are cookies used for?
• What is local storage?
• What are third-party cookies?
• How to prevent the use of cookies and how to delete them?

What are cookies?

“Cookies” are small temporary files that are created on the user’s device (computer, phone, tablet, etc.) when visiting a website, and that allow the site to store information, for example, to save your usage preferences or to recognize you on subsequent visits. When a website creates a cookie on the user’s device, the following is stored:

• The address/domain of the website that created the cookie
• The duration of the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years
• The content of the cookie.

At any time, the user can configure their browser to prevent (block) the use of cookies by certain websites, as well as delete previously stored cookies.

What are cookies used for?

• Essential technical cookies. They are used to manage the navigation flow within the website or to keep the user connected to it. Disabling them may mean that some section of the website does not work correctly.
• Customization cookies. Necessary to remember certain user preferences.
• Analytical cookies. They help us and third parties collect information on the origin of the users and their navigation within the website, for the purpose of performing a statistical analysis to improve the structure and content.
• Advertising cookies. Used to manage the ads that appear on the website, decide the content or frequency of the ads.
• Behavioral advertising cookies. Help to collect the user’s browsing habits to create a profile of their interests and to show ads adapted to them.
• Social sharing cookies. Necessary to identify the user on their social networks and thus allow them to share content.

What is local storage?

By local storage, we mean any file created by the website on your navigation device. Cookies are a form of local storage, but there are others, for example:

• Browser local storage. Some websites use local storages called “sessionStorage” and “localStorage” to store information; “sessionStorage” is automatically deleted when the browser program is closed; on the other hand, to delete “localStorage” the user must delete the browsing history.
• Flash local storage (“Flash Local Shared Objects”). Flash is a browser plugin that allows the incorporation of interactive and multimedia elements into a website. Flash also allows the visited website to store files on the user’s device.
• Silverlight local storage (“Isolated Objects”). Silverlight is a browser plugin that allows the incorporation of interactive and multimedia elements into a website. Silverlight also allows the visited website to store files on the user’s device.
• The web beacon is a tracking technique that consists of inserting into the website or in an email an image hosted on an Internet server so that, when the browser or email program connects to said server to download and display the image, the access is registered. Sometimes these images are very small or transparent so that the user is not aware of their existence.

What are third-party cookies?

Many websites incorporate functions or features provided by third parties, such as:

• Access and usage analytics of the pages.
• Interactive maps.
• Videos and other multimedia elements.
• Social buttons.

The provider of a function or feature may use cookies and other local storage technologies based on their own criteria and purposes.

Some providers use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect information about the user’s browsing habits with the aim of showing advertising adapted to their interests.

Browsing this website with cookies and local storage activated necessarily implies the acceptance of the privacy policies established by the providers of the following functions or features:
