What are “cookies”?

A cookie is a small text file that a website can store on your device when you visit it. It allows websites to remember your actions and preferences (such as login and other configuration preferences) for a period of time, so you don’t have to re-enter them every time you return to the site or navigate from one page to another.
Cookies can be classified according to the time they are stored on the device:

Session cookies

These cookies are deleted when the web browser is closed. A common example of this type of cookie is those that allow you to log into your account.

Persistent cookies

These cookies are stored by your device’s web browser for a specified period of time. After this period, your browser deletes them.

They can also be classified according to the domain to which the cookie belongs, which can be:

First-party cookies

These are set by the domain of the website you are visiting.

Third-party cookies

These are cookies set by a domain different from the one you are visiting. Generally, these are cookies used by third-party services that we use on our website.

What types of cookies do we use?

The cookies we use on our website can be classified into the following groups:

Strictly necessary cookies
These are first-level session cookies that allow you to log in and access protected parts of our website, usually after you have authenticated. Without these cookies, you will not be able to use our website as expected.

Functionality cookies
These are first-party persistent cookies that remember some user interface preferences so you don’t have to specify them every time. For example, we may set a cookie with your preferred selection from a checkbox for the next time you use it. These cookies are not strictly necessary but help you have a smoother experience on the website.

Analytics cookies
These types of cookies allow us to obtain anonymous statistical information about how the website is used in order to improve it. To do this, we use the Google Analytics service provided by Google Inc., which collects information about website traffic and provides us with reports that allow us to analyze how our website is used and make improvements. Google Analytics uses first-party persistent cookies. Our integration of this service is done in a way that your IP address is always anonymized by truncation before being stored.

How can I manage, block or delete cookies?

You can control and/or delete cookies on your device at any time. If you wish, you can delete all cookies already stored on your computer. It is also possible to configure most browsers to prevent cookies from being accepted and/or use specific software to block them. Please note, however, that without cookies, your experience using our website may be affected and some functions (that rely on cookies) may not work as expected.
