Cookie policy

Like most sites on the internet, this website uses cookies to enhance and optimise the user experience.

Below you will find detailed information regarding what cookies are, what kind of cookies this website uses, how you can disable them in your browser and how to specifically block the installation of third party cookies.

What are cookies?

Cookies are files that websites or applications install on the user's browser or device (smartphone, tablet or connected television) during their visit to the website's pages or the application, and are used to store information about their visit.

Like most sites on the internet, this website uses cookies in order to:

  • Ensure that the web pages can function properly.

  • Save preferences, such as the language selected or the font size.

  • Learn about the user's browsing experience.

  • Collect anonymous statistical information, such as which pages the user visited or how long they spent on the website.

The use of cookies allows us to optimise the browsing experience, tailoring the information and services offered to the user's interests, in order to provide a better experience each time they visit the website.

This website uses cookies in order to function properly, to customise and make browsing as easy as possible for the user.

Types, purpose and functioning

Cookies, depending on their duration, can be either session cookies or persistent cookies. The former expire when the user closes the browser. The latter expire when the purpose for which they serve is fulfilled (for example, for the user to remain identified on the website) or when they are deleted manually.

Additionally, depending on their objective, cookies can be categorised as follows:

  • Strictly necessary (technical): these are essential for the correct functioning of the page. They are normally generated when the user accesses the website or logs in to it, and they are used to identify them on the website for the following purposes:

  • To keep the user identified so that, if they leave the website, browser or device and access the website again at another time, they will continue to be identified, thus facilitating their browsing without them having to identify themselves again.

  • Check whether the user is authorised to access certain services or areas of the website.

  • Performance: these are used to improve the browsing experience and to optimise the functioning of the website, such as saving service settings, or saving the purchase made in a shopping cart.

  • Advertising: these are used to collect information about the advertisements shown to users of the website. These can be of two types:

  • Anonymous: only collect information on the advertising spaces shown on the website, regardless of which user is accessing the website, i.e. without expressly identifying them.

  • Customised: collect personal information from the website user on the part of a third party, for the customisation of these advertising spaces.

  • Geo-location: these cookies are used to check the location (country or region) of the user when they access a service on the website in order to offer them content or services appropriate to their location.

  • Analytical: collect information about the user's browsing experience on the website, usually anonymously, but sometimes also uniquely and unambiguously identifying the user in order to obtain reports on users' interests in the services offered by the website.

Cookies used on this website

Below is a table showing the cookies which are used on this website. Their "intrusiveness level" is measured on a scale of 1 to 3, where:

Level 1: corresponds to cookies strictly necessary for the provision of the service requested by the user.

Level 2: corresponds to performance cookies (anonymous) necessary for the maintenance of content and browsing, of which it is only necessary to report their existence.

Level 3: corresponds to cookies managed by third parties that allow for the monitoring of the user by way of websites which are not owned by the entity. These are normally advertising cookies or analytical cookies where the user is uniquely and clearly identified.
