COOKIE POLICIES

BEFORE YOU START…

In this Cookie Policy, you will find information about our use of cookies and similar devices installed on our customers' and users' devices. Occasionally, the use of cookies may be related to the processing of personal data. Therefore, we recommend that you consult our Privacy Policy, accessible on our Platform, if you would like information about how we use our customers' and users' personal data, how to exercise your rights, or the terminology we use to refer to our Web Platform.


INFORMATION ABOUT COOKIES


  1. What is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small text file that a website, app, or other platform stores on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or any other similar device. It contains information about your browsing or usage, such as a tag that identifies your device. Cookies are necessary, for example, to facilitate navigation and understand how users interact with the platforms so they can be improved. They are also very useful for offering advertising based on user preferences, as well as for other purposes detailed below. Cookies do not harm your computer or device.

When we talk about "Cookies" we also refer to other similar technologies that install and/or collect information in or on your device (such as flash cookies, web beacons or bugs, pixels, HTML5 (local storage), and SDK technologies for app formats). Likewise, the term "Cookies" also applies to the use of fingerprinting techniques, that is, those information combination techniques that help us identify your device. Sometimes, these technologies work together with cookies to collect and store information, either to provide you with certain functionalities or services on our Platform, or to show you advertising on third-party platforms, taking into account your browsing.

This explanation is a general example of what cookies mean for informational purposes only. The cookies we use are detailed in the cookie settings panel accessible on our Platform.


2. What types of Cookies exist?


Please review this section, which provides an overview of the types of cookies that may be used in an online environment.


Depending on the owner of the Cookies, they can be classified as:



  • First-party cookies: These are cookies sent to the user's computer or device from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself, and from which the platform or service requested by the user is offered.

  • Third-party cookies: These are cookies that are sent to the user's computer or device from a computer or domain that is not managed by the publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.


Depending on the purpose of the Cookie, they can be classified as:


  • Strictly necessary (technical) cookies: These are cookies that allow the user to navigate through a website, platform, or application and use the different options or services provided therein, such as, for example, controlling traffic, identifying data or the session, accessing restricted sections or content, remembering the elements that make up an order, carrying out the purchasing process, managing payment, controlling fraud linked to the security of the service, using security elements during navigation, processing registration or participation in an event, storing content for the dissemination of videos or sound, enabling dynamic content (for example, animation of a text or image loading), or sharing content through social networks. Technical cookies, being strictly necessary, are downloaded by default when they allow the platform to be displayed or provide the service requested by the user.
  • Functionality or personalization cookies: These cookies are used to remember information so that the user can access the service or platform with certain characteristics that may differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as, for example, the language, the number of results displayed when the user performs a search, the appearance or content of the service depending on the type of browser used by the user or the region from which they access the service, etc. Failure to accept these cookies may result in slow website performance or poorly tailored recommendations.

  • Analytics cookies: These cookies allow us to quantify the number of users, the sections visited on the platform, and how they interact with it. This allows us to measure and statistically analyze user usage. This is intended to help us make improvements based on the analysis of data on user usage of the platform or service.
  • Behavioral advertising cookies: These cookies store information about user behavior obtained through continuous monitoring of their browsing habits. This allows for the development of a specific profile to display advertising based on that behavior. These cookies allow for the most efficient management of advertising spaces that, where applicable, the publisher has included directly or in collaboration with third parties.


3. What are Cookies used for on our Platform?

Cookies are an essential part of how our Platform works. The main purpose of our Cookies is to make your browsing experience more comfortable and efficient. For example, they are used to remember your preferences (language, country, etc.) during browsing and on future visits. We also use our Cookies to continuously improve our services and Platform, as well as to offer personalized advertising based on your browsing habits.


The information collected through Cookies also allows us to improve our Platform by estimating statistical data and usage patterns (number of visits, most visited sections, visit time, etc.), to statistically understand how users interact with the Platform in order to improve our services, as well as to adapt the Platform to your individual interests, speed up searches, etc.

Occasionally, we may use cookies to obtain information that allows us to display advertising based on an analysis of your browsing habits (products visited, sections viewed, etc.) from our platform, third-party platforms, or by any other means.


In any case, we never store sensitive information such as passwords, credit or debit card details, etc. in the Cookies we use.


4. How can I manage the use of Cookies on this Platform?


In the Cookies configuration panel accessible at all times on our Platform, you can obtain all the information about the Cookies used by this Platform, along with information about the purpose, duration, and management (own or by third parties) of each of them, so that you can manage the activation and deactivation of the use of those Cookies that are not strictly necessary for the operation of the Platform.

When you disable cookies, the affected cookies are deleted from your browser whenever possible. In any case, if you reject a cookie but it's not possible to delete it, we always block it. Therefore, we will never use the cookies you reject and will do everything possible to delete them (please note that some deletion mechanisms are beyond our control, as they depend on the third party responsible for the cookie).


Alternatively, if you're browsing the internet, you can disable the use of cookies in your browser, including third-party cookies that you've accepted and later wish to reject. Here's how to do this in the most popular browsers:



  • Google Chrome

  • Internet Explorer

  • Mozilla Firefox

  • Safari


This possibility of avoiding the use of Cookies can be carried out at any time.

Please note that both your management of the Cookie settings panel and your choice to reject Cookies are specific to each browser you are using. Therefore, if you choose to configure Cookies in one way on one device and want your choice to apply similarly to another device, you must activate the same option for that other device.


As an additional step, with respect to third-party cookies for the purpose of providing interest-based advertising, please note that certain third parties may be members of one of the following self-regulatory programs for online behavioral advertising, with corresponding opt-out options:



  • Network Advertising Initiative

  • Google Analytics


5. Who uses the information stored in Cookies?
