What are cookies?
In English, the term "cookie" means a biscuit, but in the context of web browsing, a "cookie" is something entirely different. When you access our Website, a small amount of text known as a "cookie" is stored in your device’s browser. This text contains various information about your browsing, habits, preferences, content customization, etc.
There are other technologies that work similarly and are also used to collect data about your browsing activity. We will refer to all these technologies collectively as "cookies."
The specific uses we make of these technologies are described in this document.
What are cookies used for on this website?
Cookies are an essential part of how the Website works. The main objective of our cookies is to improve your browsing experience. For example, to remember your preferences (language, country, etc.) during browsing and future visits. The information collected in cookies also allows us to improve the website, adapt it to your interests as a user, speed up your searches, etc.
In certain cases, if we have obtained your prior informed consent, we may use cookies for other purposes, such as obtaining information that allows us to show you advertising based on the analysis of your browsing habits.
What are cookies NOT used for on this website?
The cookies we use do not store sensitive personal identification information such as your name, address, password, etc.
Who uses the information stored in cookies?
The information stored in the cookies on our Website is used exclusively by us, except for those identified below as "third-party cookies," which are used and managed by external entities that provide services that enhance the user experience. For example, the statistics collected on the number of visits, the content that users like the most, etc., are usually managed by Google Analytics.
How can you avoid the use of cookies on this Website?
If you prefer to avoid the use of cookies, you can REJECT their use or CONFIGURE which cookies you want to avoid and which you allow to use (in this document, we provide detailed information regarding each type of cookie, its purpose, recipient, duration, etc.).
If you have accepted them, we will not ask you again unless you delete the cookies on your device as explained in the following section. If you want to revoke your consent, you must delete the cookies and reconfigure them.

What types of cookies are used on this website?
Each website uses its own cookies. On our website, we use the following:
BY THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES THEM
First-party cookies:
These are sent to the User’s device from a system or domain managed by the editor itself and from which the requested service is provided.
Third-party cookies:
These are sent to the User’s device from a system or domain that is not managed by the editor but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.
If cookies are served from a system or domain managed by the editor but the information collected is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered first-party cookies if the third party uses them for its own purposes (for example, improving the services it provides or providing advertising services for other entities).
BY THEIR PURPOSE
Technical cookies:
These are necessary for browsing and the proper functioning of our Website, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, signing up for an event, counting visits for software licensing purposes, using security elements during browsing, storing content for video or sound dissemination, enabling dynamic content (e.g., loading animation for text or image), or sharing content through social networks.
Analysis cookies:
These allow us to quantify the number of users and thus carry out statistical measurement and analysis of how users use the Website.
Preference or customization cookies:
These allow the website to remember information so that the User can access the service with certain characteristics that differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as the language, the number of search results displayed, the appearance or content of the service based on the type of browser the User uses to access the service or the region from which they access the service, etc.
BY DURATION
Session cookies:
These are designed to collect and store data while the User accesses a web page.
They are typically used to store information that is only necessary for the service requested by the User on a single occasion (e.g., a list of purchased products) and disappear when the session ends.
Persistent cookies:
These store data in the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie manager, which can range from a few minutes to several years. In this regard, the need for persistent cookies should be specifically evaluated, as privacy risks could be reduced by using session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, their duration should be minimized to what is necessary for their purpose. In this respect, Opinion 4/2012 of the Article 29 Working Party indicated that for a cookie to be exempt from the requirement of informed consent, its expiration should be linked to its purpose. Therefore, session cookies are more likely to be considered exempt than persistent cookies.
