Browsing this Website with cookies and local storage mechanisms activated necessarily implies acceptance of their use in accordance with this policy. If you do not accept their use, it is possible to configure your browser to prevent their use.

Cookies and local storage are part of the technology necessary for the operation of a website and are not inherently harmful, but it is important that you know the implications 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?
• Using browsers with a private browsing mode
• How can I prevent the use of cookies and how can I delete cookies?

What are cookies?

“Cookies” are small temporary files that are created on the user’s device (computer, phone, tablet, etc.) when they visit a website, which allow to website to store information, for example, saving the user’s preferences or recognising them in 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. These are used to manage the flow of browsing within the site or to keep the user logged in. By disabling them, some sections of the website may not work correctly.
• Personalisation cookies. Necessary to remember certain user preferences.
• Analytical cookies. They help us and third parties to collect information on users’ origins and their browsing on the web, in order to perform statistical analysis to improve structure and content.
• Advertising cookies. Used to manage the ads that appear on the site, and to decide the content or the frequency of the ads.
• Behavioural advertising cookies. They help to collate user browsing habits to create a profile of their interests and to show ads adapted to them.
• Cookies for social sharing. They are necessary to identify the user on social media and thus allow them to share content.

What is local storage?

Cookies are a form of local storage, but there are others, for example:

• The browser’s local storage. Some websites use local storage called “sessionStorage” and “localStorage” to store information; “SessionStorage” is automatically deleted when the browser is closed; but in order to delete “localStorage” the user must delete their browsing history.
• Local Flash storage (“Flash Local Shared Objects”). Flash is a browser add-on that allows you to incorporate interactive and multimedia elements into a website. Flash also allows a visited website to store files on the user’s device.
• Silverlight local storage (“Isolated Objects”). Silverlight is a browser add-on that allows you to incorporate interactive and multimedia elements into a website. Silverlight also allows a visited website to store files on the user’s device.
• Web beacon is a tracking technique that consists of inserting an image hosted on an Internet server into a website or an email, so that when the browser or email program is connected to that server to download and view the image, its access is recorded. Sometimes these images are very small or transparent so that the user does not notice them.
