This website uses its own and third-party cookies to collect information about your visits and your use of our website. By browsing or using our services, you accept our use of cookies.
What are cookies?
In English, the term “cookie” refers to a small baked treat, but in the context of web browsing, a “cookie” is something entirely different. When you access our Website, a small amount of text called a “cookie” is stored in your device’s browser. This text contains various information about your browsing, habits, preferences, content customisations, etc.
There are other technologies that work in a similar way 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.
Why are cookies used on this website?
Cookies are an essential part of how the Website works. The main purpose of our cookies is to improve your browsing experience — for example, to remember your preferences (language, country, etc.) during your visit and on future visits. The information collected through cookies also allows us to improve the website, tailor it to your interests as a user, speed up searches, etc.
In certain cases, if we have obtained your prior informed consent, we may use cookies for other purposes, such as to obtain information that allows us to show you advertising based on an analysis of your browsing habits.
What are cookies NOT used for on this website?
The cookies we use do not store sensitive personal identification information such as your name, address, password, etc.
Who uses the information stored in cookies?
The information stored in our Website’s cookies is used exclusively by us, with the exception of those identified below as “third-party cookies”, which are used and managed by external entities that provide us with services that enhance the user experience — for example, statistics on the number of visits, most popular content, etc., which are typically managed by Google Analytics.
How can you avoid the use of cookies on this Website?
If you prefer to avoid the use of cookies, you may REJECT their use or CONFIGURE which ones you wish to avoid and which ones you allow (this document provides detailed information on each type of cookie, its purpose, recipient, duration, etc.).
If you have accepted them, we will not ask you again unless you delete the cookies on your device as described in the section below. If you wish to withdraw your consent, you will need to delete the cookies and reconfigure your settings.
How do I disable and delete cookies?
The website owner displays information about its Cookie Policy in the cookie banner accessible on all pages of the Website. The cookie banner provides essential information about data processing and allows users to:
ACCEPT or REJECT the installation of cookies, or withdraw previously given consent.
Change cookie preferences from the Customise Cookies page, accessible from the Cookie Notice or from the Customise Cookies page.
To restrict, block or delete cookies from this Website (and those used by third parties), you can do so at any time by modifying your browser settings. Please note that these settings differ from browser to browser.

What types of cookies are used on this website?
Each website uses its own cookies. On our website, we use those listed below:
BY THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES THEM
First-party cookies:
These are cookies sent to the user’s terminal device from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself, from which the service requested by the user is provided.
Third-party cookies:
These are cookies sent to the user’s terminal device from a computer or domain that is not managed by the publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.
In cases where cookies are served from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself, but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered first-party cookies if the third party uses them for its own purposes (for example, to improve the services it provides or to deliver advertising services on behalf of other entities).
BY PURPOSE
Technical cookies:
These are necessary for browsing and the proper functioning of our Website — for example, to control data traffic and communication, identify the session, access restricted areas, process registration or event participation requests, count visits for software licence billing purposes, apply security measures during browsing, store content for video or audio streaming, or enable dynamic content (for example, loading animations for text or images).
Analytics cookies:
These allow us to quantify the number of users and carry out statistical measurement and analysis of how users use the Website.
Preference or personalisation cookies:
These allow information to be remembered so that users can access the service with certain characteristics that may differentiate their experience from that of other users — such as language, the number of results displayed when performing a search, the appearance or content of the service depending on the type of browser used or the region from which the service is accessed, etc.
BY DURATION
Session cookies:
These are designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a web page.
They are typically used to store information that only needs to be retained for the provision of a service requested by the user on a single occasion (for example, a list of purchased products), and they disappear at the end of the session.
Persistent cookies:
These are cookies in which data remains stored on the device and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the party responsible for the cookie, ranging from a few minutes to several years. In this regard, it is important to specifically assess whether the use of persistent cookies is necessary, as privacy risks could be reduced by using session cookies instead. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to keep their duration to the minimum necessary in line with their purpose. In this regard, Opinion 4/2012 of the WP29 indicated that for a cookie to be exempt from the requirement for informed consent, its expiry must be related to its purpose. As a result, session cookies are far more likely to be considered exempt than persistent cookies.
