WHY DO WE USE COOKIES AND HANDLE BROWSING DATA?
On
this website we use cookies.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a file that websites transfer to devices that
connect to them. Although often, the purpose of cookies is purely technical,
they also allow a website to store and recover information on the browsing
habits of the user or his/her system and, depending on the information they
contain and the way in which they are used, they can be used to recognise the
user.
Some cookies are controlled and managed by the owner
of the website itself (these are called “own cookies”), and others are
controlled by third parties (these are known as “third-party cookies”), because
they provide a tool or functionality installed on the website.
Certain cookies are deleted as soon as the user
finishes browsing the website (session cookies), while other remain stored on
the user’s system, and can be accessed over a longer period (persistent
cookies).
What kind of cookies does this website use, and why?
On this website, we use the following types of
cookies:
- Technical cookies, or those essential for the supply of our services
We use technical cookies to enable us to provide the services
requested by our users. These cookies are essential to enable users to browse
and use various options and services on the website, for example, they control
website traffic and the communication of data, they identify the session, allow
access to restricted areas, record the information provided by the user at each
stage of an order, processing a purchase, they use security elements during
browsing, store content for broadcast by sound or video, or allow the sharing
of content across social networks.
In order to optimise the experience of using our
website, we use customisation cookies which enable us to configure the website
and its services in accordance with the preferences of the user or with the
general characteristics of his/her system, for example, the browser used, and
the particular version of it, the operating system installed, etc.
These cookies are used, for example, to record the
parameters selected by the user during visits to the website, and to present
the website content in his/her language.
Analysis cookies enable us to measure and analyse
website activity and to build up browsing profiles of users.
We use GOOGLE ANALYTICS cookies to gather
anonymous statistics and overviews which enable us to understand how visitors
use our website, so that we can improve
and adjust the site to conform to their preferences.
GOOGLE ANALYTICS is a tool provided by
Google, Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway. Mountain View, CA 94043. U.S.A. You can obtain more information about
how GOOGLE ANALYTICS works, and the cookies it uses via the following links:

You can deactivate GOOGLE ANALYTICS by
installing on your browser the Opt-out Browser Add-on created by Google, and

Below are typical types
of browsing data which can be gathered
and analysed:
- The name of the
provider’s domain (ISP) and/or the IP address through which they access the
internet. For example, a user of ISP xxx will be identified only by the domain
xxx.es (or xxx.uk, etc.), and/or the IP address. This enables us to collect
statistics in relation to the countries and servers which visit our website
most frequently.
- The date and time our
website was accessed. This enables us to find out
which are the busiest times, and to make
any adjustments necessary to avoid problems caused by saturation at peak times.
- The internet address from
which the link originated to connect to our website. By using this data, we can
assess the effectiveness of the various banners and links that direct traffic
to our server, so that we can make the best use of those that offer the best
results.
- The number of visitors
per day to each section of the website. This allows us to see which are the
most successful areas, and add to, or improve, their content, in order to
improve user satisfaction.
Marketing cookies
We use marketing cookies to manage our advertisement
spaces. These cookies allow us to manage these spaces on the basis of technical
criteria such as the edited content or the frequency
with which the advertisements are shown.
We also use cookies that enable us to analyse the
browsing habits of users and thus build up specific profiles, and then show personalised advertisements based on these
profiles.
To enable us to keep our online advertising up to date
and relevant, we occasionally use selective online advertising programmes and
in this way promote our website and improve
the effectiveness of our advertising. The partner companies involved in these programmes
can show you advertisements based on the
information about your tastes and interests gathered from the data generated by
your browsing of our website or the websites of the third-party companies
involved in the programme. To this end, these third-party companies can install
a cookie on your browser to identify you as part of the relevant audience. They
can also detect that you have visited our website previously by using a
tracking cookie they have installed.
You can obtain more information about online
behavioural advertising, and on ways to manage your browser’s privacy settings
