Cookie Policy

Cookie Policy

Welcome to the COOKIE POLICY of this website, where we will explain in clear and simple language all the necessary issues so that you can decide how you want to control them based on your personal preferences.

What are cookies and why do we use them?

A cookie or computer cookie is a small information file that is saved on your computer, smartphone or tablet each time you visit our website.

In principle, a cookie is harmless: it does not contain viruses, trojans, worms, etc. that can damage your device, but it does involve your right to the protect your personal data as cookies collect certain information about you (browsing habits, identity, preferences, etc.).

For that reason, being governed by what relevant regulations stipulate (LSSI and current regulations for the protection of personal data), the activation of certain types of cookies require your prior authorisation.

Through a step as simple and fast as ticking a box in our COOKIE SETTINGS section, you can authorise and activate the cookies you want: take control and enjoy personalised browsing on our website.

Before you do, we will give you some additional information that will help you make a better decision in this regard:

1.- There are various types of cookies depending on what they are used for:

  • Technical cookies are necessary for our website to work, they do not need your authorisation and they are the only ones that we have activated by default.
  • Other types of cookies can be used to improve our page, to personalise it based on your preferences, or to be able to show you advertising tailored to your searches and personal interests. All of them are deactivated by default as you need to authorise them first in order to activate them, which you can do in one step simply by selecting the box in our COOKIE SETTINGS section.

2.- Some cookies are ours (we will call them our own cookies) and others belong to external companies that provide services for our website (we will call them third-party cookies: an example would be cookies from external providers such as Google). So it is important that you keep in mind that some of these external providers may be located outside of Spain.

Not all countries have the same level of data protection laws in place, with some countries being safer than others (for example, the European Union is a safe environment for your data). Our policy is that regardless of whether our providers are located in the European Union or not, they have adopted the appropriate guarantees for the protection of your personal information. However, in the section called WHAT KIND OF COOKIES ARE CURRENTLY USED ON OUR WEBSITE?, you can check the different privacy and data protection policies of each of our external providers, in order to make a conscious decision about whether or not to activate the third-party cookies that are used by our website.

3.- Finally, we want you to be aware that cookies can be divided into two categories depending on how long they remain active:

  • Session cookies: these expire automatically when you end the session on your computer, smartphone or tablet. They are usually used to retain necessary information while a one-off service is being provided to you.
  • Persistent cookies: these remain stored on your computer, smartphone or tablet for a certain period of time, which could vary from a few minutes to several years.

What kind of cookies do we use on our website?

  • Technical Cookies:
    Technical cookies are strictly necessary for our website to operate correctly and for you to be able to browse it. For example, they allow us to identify you, give you access to certain restricted parts of the page if necessary, or remember different options or services already selected by you, such as your privacy preferences. For this reason, they are activated by default, and your authorisation is not required. You can set an alert for when this type of cookie occurs using your browser settings or block them altogether, although doing so will prevent our website from working properly.
  • Analysis Cookies:
    Analysis cookies allow us to study our website users' browsing habits in general (for example, which sections of the site are the most visited, which services are used the most and whether they work correctly, etc.).Based on the statistical information about browsing on our website, we can improve both the operation of the page itself and the different services it offers. These cookies are not used for advertising, but help to make our website work better, tailoring it to our users in general. By activating them, you will contribute to this continuous improvement. You can activate or deactivate these cookies by ticking the corresponding box, which is unticked by default.
  • Functionality and Personalisation Cookies:
    Functionality cookies allow us to remember your preferences, to customise certain characteristics and general options on our website to your needs, each time you access it (for example, the display language, the sections marked as your favourites, your browser type, etc.).Therefore, these types of cookies are not used for advertising, but by activating them you will improve the functionality of the website (for example, it will adapt to your type of browser) and the personalisation of it based on your preferences (for example, displaying it in the language you chose on previous occasions), which will ensure you can enjoy browsing our website easily. You can activate or deactivate these cookies by ticking the corresponding box, which is unticked by default.

    Session Information about the user's session and browsing When the user accesses, navigates and interacts with the page
    Google Fonts For a uniform representation of fonts, this page uses web fonts provided by Google. When you open a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser's cache to correctly display the texts and fonts.

    If your browser does not support web fonts, your computer will use a standard font.

    What can you do with cookies?

    When you access our website for the first time, a window is displayed in which we inform you about the various types of cookies that are used:

    • Technical cookies are necessary for our website to function, they do not need your authorisation and they are the only ones that we have activated by default. Therefore, they are the only cookies that will be active if you simply press the ACCEPT button.
    • Other types of cookies can be used to improve our page, to personalise it based on your preferences, or to be able to show you advertising tailored to your searches and personal interests. We have all of them deactivated by default, but you can activate them in our COOKIE SETTINGS section: take control and enjoy personalized browsing of our website, by simply ticking the boxes you want.

    Also, we want you to be aware that, even when you have activated any type of cookies, you can deactivate them at any time by simply unchecking the corresponding box in the COOKIE SETTINGS section of our website. It will always be just as easy for you to activate our own cookies as it is to deactivate them.

    We also want to remind you that, through your browser settings, you can set an alert for the presence of cookies or block them altogether, although doing so may prevent the different functionalities of our website from working properly in the case of necessary technical cookies.

    Finally, we want to point out, if you activate third-party cookies (external companies that provide services for our website) and later wish to deactivate them, you can do so in two ways: using the cookie deactivation tools from within your browser or through the third-party providers’ enabled systems.

    To make it much easier for you, below we list a series of links to the cookie deactivation guidelines of commonly used browsers:

    Likewise, here is a list of links to the systems enabled by each of those external providers for you to deactivate their cookies should you choose to do so:
