What are cookies?

In English, the term “cookie” means biscuit, but in the context of web browsing, a “cookie” is something entirely different.
When you access our website, a small amount of text known as a “cookie” is stored in your device’s browser. This text contains various information about your browsing activity, habits, preferences, content customizations, etc.
There are other technologies that work similarly and are also used to collect data about your browsing activity. We will refer to all these technologies collectively as “cookies.”
The specific uses we make of these technologies are described in this document.

The information collected in the cookies also allows us to improve the website, tailor it to your interests as a user, speed up your searches, etc.

COOKIE CLASSIFICATION

ACCORDING TO THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES THEM

• First-party cookies:
  These are sent to the user’s device from a server or domain managed by the website’s editor and from which the requested service is provided.
• Third-party cookies:
  These are sent to the user’s device from a server or domain that is not managed by the editor, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.
  If cookies are served from a server or domain managed by the editor but the information collected is handled by a third party for its own purposes (e.g., service improvement or advertising), they are considered third-party cookies.

ACCORDING TO THEIR PURPOSE

• Technical cookies:
  These are necessary for browsing and the proper functioning of our website, such as managing data traffic, identifying sessions, accessing restricted areas, remembering items in a shopping cart, processing purchases, managing payments, controlling fraud related to service security, registering or participating in events, counting visits for software license billing, using security features during browsing, storing media content, enabling dynamic content (e.g., loading animations), or sharing content on social media.
• Analytics cookies:
  These allow us to quantify the number of users and thus perform measurement and statistical analysis of how users use the service. This helps us improve our product and service offerings.
• Preference or customization cookies:
  These remember information so users can access the service with certain characteristics that differentiate their experience from others, such as language, number of results per search, or appearance/content based on browser type or region.
• Behavioral advertising cookies:
  These, whether managed by us or third parties, allow us to analyze your Internet browsing habits so we can display advertising related to your browsing profile.

ACCORDING TO THEIR DURATION

• Session cookies:
  These are designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a webpage. They are typically used to store information only relevant to the service provided in a single session (e.g., a list of purchased products) and disappear when the session ends.
• Persistent cookies:
  These store data on the user’s device and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie’s owner, ranging from a few minutes to several years.
  It is important to evaluate whether persistent cookies are necessary, as privacy risks could be minimized by using session cookies instead. When persistent cookies are installed, their duration should be minimized in accordance with their purpose.
  According to Working Party 29’s Opinion 4/2012, for a cookie to be exempt from informed consent requirements, its expiration must be directly related to its purpose. Thus, session cookies are more likely to be exempt than persistent ones.
