1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that websites download onto the user's device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when the user accesses them. In Spain, their use is regulated by Spanish Law 34/2002 of 11 July on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce (LSSI-CE), by Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) as regards the personal data processed, and by Directive 2002/58/EC concerning privacy in electronic communications (ePrivacy).
Cookies allow the Website, among other things, to store and retrieve information about the user's browsing habits, to recognise the user on subsequent visits and to improve the user experience.
2. Types of cookies by purpose
In accordance with the guidance of the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD), the Spanish Data Protection Agency, cookies can be classified as follows:
- Technical or necessary cookies: allow the user to browse the Website and to use the different options or services available on it. They do not require prior consent.
- Preference or personalisation cookies: allow information to be remembered so that the user accesses the service with certain characteristics that may differentiate their experience (language, number of results, appearance of the Site…).
- Analysis or statistical cookies: allow the controller to monitor and analyse the behaviour of users. They require consent.
- Behavioural advertising cookies: store information on the behaviour of users and allow a specific profile to be built in order to display advertising. They require consent.
- Third-party cookies: those installed by a domain other than the one managed by the controller of the Website (analytics, social networks, etc.).

- Accept all cookies.
- Reject all (except technical cookies, which are strictly necessary for the operation of the Site).
- Configure which categories they accept, on a granular basis.
Until the user expresses a choice, no non-technical cookies will be installed. The consent given is stored for a maximum of 12 months, after which it will be requested again.
5. How to configure or reject cookies
The user may review or modify their preferences at any time from the settings panel available on the Website itself ("Cookie settings" button in the banner or in the footer).
In addition, the user may manage or block cookies directly from their browser. Links to the instructions for the main browsers are provided below:
Blocking cookies may affect the proper functioning of certain features of the Website.
6. Third-party cookies
Some third-party services (analytics, maps, embedded videos, anti-spam protection services, etc.) may install cookies that are beyond the direct control of the controller of the Website. The providers with which there is currently a relationship are listed above. The user may consult each provider's privacy policy to find out in detail how that provider processes their data.
7. Changes to the Cookie Policy
The controller may amend this Cookie Policy in line with legal or regulatory requirements, or in order to adapt the policy to the instructions issued by the Spanish Data Protection Agency.
