Cookies policy

This website, like most websites on the Internet, uses cookies to improve and optimise the user experience. Below, you will find detailed information about what cookies are, the types of cookies used by this website, how you can disable them in your browser and how you can specifically block third-party cookies.

I. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are files that the website or application you use installs on your browser or device, such as a smartphone, tablet or Smart TV, while you browse its pages or use the application. They are used to store information about your visit.

Like most websites, this website uses cookies to:

  • Ensure that the website functions correctly.
  • Store your preferences, such as your selected language or font size.
  • Understand your browsing experience.
  • Collect anonymous statistical information, such as the pages you have visited or the amount of time you have spent on our website.

Cookies are associated solely with an anonymous user and their computer or device and do not provide information that makes it possible to identify personal data.

You may access your browser settings at any time to modify and/or block the installation of cookies. In general, this will not prevent access to the website’s content, except where essential cookies required for the provision of the service are disabled, without which the website cannot function.

Please note that modifying and/or blocking cookies may affect the quality, functionality or availability of certain services.

II. TYPES, PURPOSES AND OPERATION OF COOKIES

Depending on how long they remain active, cookies may be classified as session cookies or persistent cookies:

Session cookies: These cookies store data only while the user is accessing the website. Once the user leaves the website, they are deleted and do not remain on the user’s hard drive.

Persistent cookies: These cookies store data on the user’s hard drive so that it can be accessed and used each time the user visits the website.

Depending on the entity that manages them, cookies may be classified as:

First-party cookies: These cookies are sent to the user’s device from equipment or a domain managed by the website publisher and from which the service requested by the user is provided.

Third-party cookies: These cookies are sent to the user’s device from equipment or a domain that is not managed by the website publisher, but by another organisation that processes the data obtained through the cookies, such as Google Analytics or Comscore.

Depending on their purpose, cookies may be classified as follows:

Technical cookies: These cookies allow users to browse a website, platform or application and use the different options or services available on it. This may include controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, remembering the items included in an order, completing a purchase, registering for or participating in an event, using security features while browsing, storing content for video or audio playback, or sharing content through social networks.

Personalisation cookies: These cookies allow users to access a service with certain predefined characteristics based on criteria relating to their device, such as language, browser type or regional settings.

Analytics cookies: These cookies allow the responsible party to monitor and analyse the behaviour of users on the websites to which they are linked. The information collected is used to measure website, application or platform activity and to create user browsing profiles, with the aim of making improvements based on the analysis of usage data.

Advertising cookies: These cookies enable the most effective management of advertising spaces that the publisher may have included on a website, application or platform from which the requested service is provided, based on criteria such as the content displayed or the frequency with which advertisements are shown.

Behavioural advertising cookies: These cookies enable the most effective management of advertising spaces that the publisher may have included on a website, application or platform. They store information about user behaviour obtained through the continuous observation of browsing habits, allowing a specific profile to be created in order to display advertising based on that profile.

External social media cookies: These cookies allow visitors to interact with content from different social media platforms, such as Facebook, YouTube, X/Twitter or LinkedIn. They are generated only for users of those social networks. The conditions governing their use and the information collected are regulated by the privacy policy of the relevant social media platform.

III. COOKIES USED ON THIS WEBSITE

In accordance with the guidelines issued by the Spanish Data Protection Agency, the cookies used by this website are detailed below in order to provide users with the most accurate information possible.

Technical cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to load and function correctly. They do not store personal data and are generally session cookies.

IV. LEGAL BASIS FOR THE USE OF COOKIES

Technical cookies are essential for browsing this website and receiving the services provided through it.

When users choose to visit the website and use its services, these cookies form an inseparable part of the services they implicitly wish to access and/or purchase.

The legal basis for their use is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, as the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the data controller. Without these cookies, users would not be able to enjoy a satisfactory browsing experience, the organisation’s reputation could be affected and the promotion of the services offered could be less effective.

The legal basis for the use of all other cookies is the user’s consent, which is requested when the user accesses the website.

Consent may be withdrawn at any time. Withdrawing consent will not prevent users from browsing the website or using its services. However, any data processing carried out before consent was withdrawn will remain lawful.

V. TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL DATA TO THIRD COUNTRIES OR INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATIONS

Under Articles 44 to 50 of the GDPR and Articles 40 to 43 of the Spanish data protection legislation, an international data transfer may occur when personal data are processed in the context of the activities of establishments located in more than one EU Member State, or when processing carried out by a single establishment substantially affects, or is likely to substantially affect, data subjects in more than one Member State.

The GDPR and Spanish data protection legislation establish that international data transfers may only be carried out when the data controller or processor can ensure an adequate level of data protection through:

  • An adequacy decision adopted by the European Commission under Article 45 of the GDPR.
  • Appropriate safeguards under Article 46 of the GDPR.
  • Binding corporate rules under Article 47 of the GDPR.

Further information is available from the Spanish Data Protection Agency:

https://www.aepd.es/es/derechos-y-deberes/cumple-tus-deberes/medidas-de-cumplimiento/transferencias-internacionales

Carrying out an international data transfer without complying with the applicable requirements may constitute an infringement.

In the case of a company, this may result in an administrative fine of up to twenty million euros (€20,000,000) or up to 4% of the total worldwide annual turnover of the preceding financial year, whichever amount is higher.

VI. EXERCISING RIGHTS IN RELATION TO THE USE OF COOKIES

Under applicable data protection legislation, including the GDPR and Spanish data protection law, any person has the right to obtain confirmation as to whether personal data concerning them are being processed.

Under the conditions established by law, data subjects also have the right to access their personal data, request the rectification of inaccurate data and request their erasure where, among other reasons, the data are no longer required for the purposes for which they were collected.

In relation to cookies, these rights may be exercised subject to the limitations arising from the nature of these files.

Under the conditions established by the GDPR and Spanish data protection legislation, data subjects may request the restriction of the processing of their data or exercise their right to data portability. In such cases, the data will only be retained for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

In certain circumstances and for reasons relating to their particular situation, data subjects may object to the processing of their data.

Where consent has been granted for a specific purpose, users have the right to withdraw it at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of any processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

In such cases, the data will no longer be processed, or will no longer be processed for the relevant purpose, unless there are compelling legitimate grounds or the processing is required for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Where applicable, users also have the right not to be subject to automated individual decision-making.

This right is intended to ensure that users are not subject to a decision based solely on the automated processing of their personal data, including profiling, where that decision produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them.

Users who believe that their rights have been infringed, particularly where they have not obtained a satisfactory response, may lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency or another competent supervisory authority.

Further information on these rights may be obtained from the relevant authorities or by consulting our Legal Notice.
