Types of cookies used on this Website
According to the entity that manages them:
First-party cookies: Sent to the User’s device from a server or domain managed by the editor and used to provide the requested service.
Third-party cookies: Sent to the User’s device from a server or domain not managed by the editor but by another entity that processes the data.
If cookies are served from a server or domain managed by the editor but the data is handled by a third party, they are not considered first-party cookies if the third party uses them for its own purposes (e.g., service improvement, advertising services).
According to their purpose:
Technical cookies: Necessary for browsing and proper functioning of the Website (e.g., controlling traffic, identifying sessions, accessing restricted areas, managing event participation, counting visits for software licensing, security elements, video or audio playback, dynamic content such as animations).
Analytics cookies: Allow us to quantify the number of users and perform statistical analysis of Website usage.
Preference or customization cookies: Store information so the User can access the service with specific features that differentiate their experience, such as language, number of search results, layout, or region of access.
According to the time they remain active:
Session cookies: Designed to collect and store data while the User accesses the Website. Typically used to store information needed for a single service request (e.g., shopping cart contents) and are deleted once the session ends.
Persistent cookies: Data remains stored and can be accessed for a period defined by the cookie controller, ranging from minutes to years. The necessity of persistent cookies should be carefully evaluated, as session cookies generally pose fewer privacy risks. Persistent cookies should always be limited to the minimum duration necessary for their purpose.
