What are cookies?
Cookies are files that websites transfer to the computers that connect to them. Although cookies
are often used for technical reasons only, they also allow for a further series of actions such as
storing and retrieving information about a user or computer’s browsing habits and, depending on
the information they contain and the way they use the hardware, to recognise the user.
Some cookies are controlled and managed by website owners (own cookies), whilst others are
administered by third parties, as they provide a tool or serve a function that is integrated onto
the website.
Some types of cookies are erased once the user has finished browsing the website (session
cookies), whilst others may remain embedded on users’ computers and be accessed for a
longer period (persistent cookies).
What type of cookies do we use and what for?
On this website we use the following types of cookies:
1. Technical cookies
We use technical cookies in order to provide our users with the services they request. These
cookies are essential for browsing and using the various website options and services, such as
monitoring traffic and data communication, identify the/a session, accessing restricted zones,
remembering the information users provide at each stage of the registration or contracting
process, using security elements during browsing, storing contents for the dissemination of
videos or sound files, as well as sharing contents via social networks.
2. Personalisation cookies
For the purpose of optimising our website experience, we use personalisation cookies that
allow us to set up the website and its services in accordance with users’ preferences or the
general characteristics of their computer, such as the browser and version used, the operating
system installed, etc.
These cookies are used for purposes such as remembering the parameters selected by users

maintaining the accredited status of registered users.
3. Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies allow for the assessment and analysis of website activities and the creation of
user browsing profiles. We use these cookies to gather anonymous and joint statistics that give
us an insight into how users move around our website in order to introduce improvements and
adjustments tailored to meet our visitors’ preferences.
By way of an example, the following data obtained from browsing our website are typical of the
types that are used for analysis:
- The domain name of the Internet Service Provider (ISP) and/or the IP address that provides
them with access to the network. For instance, a user of provider xxx will only be identified
by the domain xxx.es and/or the IP address. This enables us to obtain statistics regarding
the countries and web servers that visit our website most frequently.
- The date and time our website is accessed. This information allows us to determine the
times of highest traffic, and make the necessary adjustments in order to avoid saturation
during our peak periods.
- The Internet address hosting the link leading to our website. With this information, we can
determine how effective the various banners and links connecting to our server actually are,
in order to focus on those offering the best results.
- The number of visitors to each section per day. This enables us to find out which sections
are most successful in order to expand and improve their contents, thereby ensuring greater
user satisfaction.
4. Advertising cookies
We use advertising cookies in order to manage our advertising spaces. These cookies allow for
the administration of these spaces in accordance with technical criteria such as edited contents
or the frequency with which the advertisements are shown.
We also use cookies that allow us to analyse users’ browsing habits in order to create specific
profiles and show advertising that is personalised in accordance with their interests.
In order to ensure that our online advertising is tailored and relevant, we occasionally use
selective online advertising software in order to promote our website and enhance the efficiency
of the advertising shown. Collaborating companies that participate in this software may show
users advertisements that reflect their tastes and interests, based on the information generated
by their browsing of our website or those of third parties that participate in the software. To this
end, said collaborating entities may install a cookie on their browsers in order to identify them as
members of the corresponding audience. Likewise, the website may install a tracking cookie in
order to detect any previous visits you may have made to their website. .
