USE OF COOKIES:

We use third-party cookies to manage registered user sessions, analyze visits and web traffic, and share content on social networks. Browsing the website implies the user’s consent for its collection and treatment in accordance with the above.

Cookies are files installed on your computer’s hard drive or in your browser’s memory in the folder pre-configured by the operating system of the User’s computer to identify you.

This application has been developed by Google, which provides us with the audience analysis service of our website. This company may use this data to improve its own services and to provide services to other companies. You can learn about these other uses from the links provided.

This tool does not obtain data from the names or surnames of the users or the postal address from which they connect. The information you obtain is related for example to the number of pages you visit, the language, social network in which our news is published, the city to which the IP address from which users access is assigned, the number of users who visit us , the frequency and recidivism of visits, the time of visit, the browser they use, the operator or type of terminal from which the visit is made.

This information Is used to improve our page, detect new needs and evaluate the improvements to be introduced in order to provide a better service to the users who visit us.

Technically, cookies are arbitrary pieces of data defined by the web server and sent to the browser. The browser returns them to the server unmodified, thus reflecting a state (memory of previous events) in HTTP transactions, which would otherwise be independent of that state.

Without cookies, each request for a website or a component of a web page would be an isolated event, with no relation to the other requests from other pages of the same site. But by returning a cookie to the web server, the browser provides the server with a means to relate the current page request to requests from previous pages. In addition to being defined by a web server, cookies can also be defined by a script in a language such as JavaScript, if it is supported and enabled in the web browser.

What types of cookies exist?

Cookies, depending on their Permanence, can be divided into:

• “Session cookies”: The first ones expire when the user closes the browser.
• “Persistent cookies”. The latter expire depending on when the purpose for which they serve is fulfilled (e.g. for the user to remain identified in the Services) or when they are deleted manually.

Additionally, depending on their Objective, Cookies can be classified as follows:

• Performance Cookies: This type of Cookie remembers your preferences for the tools found on the services, so you do not have to reconfigure the service each time you visit. For example, this typology includes:
  • Video or audio player volume settings.
  • The video transmission speeds that are compatible with your browser.

• Geo-localizationCookies : These cookies are used to find out which country you are in when you request a service. This Cookie is completely anonymous, and is only used to help target content to your location.
• Registration Cookies: Registration Cookies are generated once a user has registered or subsequently logged in, and are used to identify you on the services for the following purposes:
  • Keep the user identified so that, if he closes a service, the browser or the computer and at another time or another day he re-enters that service, he will continue to be identified, thus facilitating his navigation without having to identify himself again. This functionality can be removed if the user presses the “logout” functionality, so that this Cookie is deleted and the next time the user enters the service he will have to log in to be identified.
  • Check if the user is authorized to access certain services, for example, to participate in a contest.

• AnalyticalCookies: Each time a User visits a service, a tool from an external provider generates an analytical Cookie on the User’s computer. This Cookie, which is only generated during the visit, will serve in future visits to the Web Services to identify the visitor anonymously. The main objectives are:
  • Allow anonymous identification of browsers users through the “Cookie” (identifies browsers and devices, not people) and therefore the approximate counting of the number of visitors and their trend over time.
  • Identify anonymously the most visited content and therefore more attractive to users.
  • Important: Unless the user decides to register for a service on the Web, the “Cookie” will never be associated with any personal data that can identify you. Such Cookies will only be used for statistical purposes to help optimize the User’s experience on the site.

• Behavioral advertising Cookies: This type of “Cookies” allows to extend the information of the ads shown to each anonymous user in the Web Services. Among others, the duration or frequency of visualization of advertising positions, the interaction with them, or the navigation patterns and/or compartments of the user are stored since they help to conform a profile of advertising interest. In this way, they make it possible to offer advertising related to the interests of the user.
• Third party advertisingCookies: In addition to the advertising managed by the Web in its Services, the Web offers its advertisers the option to serve ads through third parties (“AdServers”). In this way, these third parties can store Cookies sent from the Services of the Web coming from the browsers of the Users, as well as access to the data that in them are saved.
