COOKIES POLICY
What are cookies?
Accessing this Website may involve the use of cookies. Cookies are small pieces of information stored in the browser used by each user —across the different devices they may use to browse— so the server can remember certain information to be used later, only by the server that implemented it. Cookies help make navigation easier, more user-friendly, and do not harm the browsing device.
Cookies are automatic procedures for collecting information about user preferences during visits to the Website, with the aim of recognising the user and personalising their experience. They may also help identify and resolve errors.
The information collected by cookies may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, the time spent on the Website, and the sites visited just before and after. However, no cookie allows contact with the user’s phone number or any other personal contact method. Nor can they access information from the user’s hard drive or steal personal data. The only way private information becomes part of the cookie file is if the user provides it directly to the server.
Cookies that allow the identification of an individual are considered personal data. Therefore, the Privacy Policy above applies to them. In this respect, the use of cookies requires the user’s consent, which will be given through a genuine choice offered by means of a positive and affirmative action, prior to the initial processing, and must be withdrawable and recorded.
What do we use cookies for on this Website?
- To improve navigation and user experience.
- To collect statistical data on site usage.
- To personalise content and advertising.
Cookie settings and management:
The user may disable, refuse, or delete cookies —in whole or in part— through their browser settings (e.g. Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Explorer). Cookie management varies depending on the browser, so users should refer to their browser’s instructions. If cookies are disabled, some Website functionalities may be limited.
If you do not provide your data or provide it incorrectly or incompletely, we may not be able to respond to your request, making it impossible to offer the requested information or services.
Changes to the Cookies Policy:
This policy may be updated in accordance with changes in regulations or the functioning of the Website. We recommend reviewing it periodically.
