What are cookies?
In English, the term “cookie” means a small sweet, but in the context of web browsing, a “cookie” is something entirely different. When you access our Website, a small piece of text called a “cookie” is stored in your device’s browser. This text contains various information about your browsing, habits, preferences, content customizations, 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.
What are cookies used for 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 browsing and future visits. The information collected in the cookies also allows us to improve the website, tailor it to your interests as a user, speed up your searches, etc.
In certain cases, if we have obtained your prior informed consent, we may use cookies for other purposes, such as obtaining information that allows us to display advertising based on the 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 the cookies?
The information stored in the cookies of our Website is used exclusively by us, except for those identified below as “third-party cookies,” which are used and managed by external entities that provide us with services to improve the user experience. For example, statistics collected on the number of visits, the most popular content, etc., are usually managed by Google Analytics.
Third-party cookies are also often used to ensure payment operations carried out through the Website.

What types of cookies are used on this website?
Each website uses its own cookies. On our website, we use those listed below:
ACCORDING TO THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES THEM
Own cookies:
These are sent to the user’s device from a computer or domain managed by the editor itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided.
Third-party cookies:
These are sent to the user’s device from a computer or domain that is not managed by the editor, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through cookies.
If cookies are served from a computer or domain managed by the editor, but the information collected through them is managed by a third party for its own purposes (e.g., improving its services or providing advertising services for other entities), they will not be considered own cookies.
ACCORDING TO THEIR PURPOSE
Technical cookies:
These are necessary for browsing and the proper functioning of our website, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, remembering the elements of an order, carrying out the purchase process, managing payment, controlling fraud linked to security of the service, signing up or participating in an event, counting visits for software license billing, using security elements during browsing, storing content for video or audio broadcasting, enabling dynamic content (e.g., text or image loading animation).
Analytics cookies:
These allow us to quantify the number of users and thus measure and statistically analyze how users use the website, in order to improve our product or service offering.
Preference or personalization cookies:
These allow information to be remembered so the user accesses the service with certain characteristics that differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as language, number of search results displayed, appearance or content of the service depending on the browser type or region of access, etc.
ACCORDING TO THE DURATION THEY REMAIN ACTIVE
Session cookies:
These are designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website.
They are usually used to store information only needed to provide the service requested by the user on a single occasion (e.g., a list of purchased products) and disappear at the end of the session.
Persistent cookies:
These keep data stored on the device and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie manager, which can range from a few minutes to several years. The necessity of using persistent cookies should be evaluated, as privacy risks could be reduced by using session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, their duration should be kept as short as necessary depending on their purpose. The WP29 Opinion 4/2012 indicated that for a cookie to be exempt from informed consent, its expiration must be related to its purpose, making session cookies more likely to be exempt than persistent cookies.
