The first purpose of Cookies is to allow users faster access to the selected services. Also, Cookies customize the services offered by the Website, offering each user information that is or might be of interest to them, based on their use of the Services.
The Website uses Cookies to customize and make the user’s browsing as easy as possible. Cookies link anonymously to a user and their computer only, and do not provide references that allow user data to be deduced. Users may configure their browser so that it notifies and rejects the installation of Cookies requested by the Website, without compromising their ability to access the contents of the aforementioned website. Notwithstanding, we kindly let you know that the operational quality of the Website may be affected.

Moreover, the Website will be able to find out all the services requested by users, so that they can facilitate or offer appropriate information related to each user’s tastes or preferences.
What kinds of cookies are there?
Cookies, according to their Permanence, can be divided into:
- Session cookies: They expire when the user closes the browser.
- Persistent cookies: They expire based on when they have served their purpose (for instance, to keep identifying the user in Services) or when they are deleted manually.
Cookies, according to their Owner, can be divided into:
- Own Cookies: Those that are sent to the user’s device from a computer or domain that is managed by the editor itself and which provides the services requested by the user.
- Third-party Cookies: Those that are sent to the user’s device from a computer or domain that is not managed by the editor but by another entity which processes the information obtained through the cookies.
In addition, according to their Purpose, Cookies can be classified as follows:
- Performance Cookies: This type of Cookies remembers your preferences for the tools hosted in the services, so that you do not need to configure the service again every time you visit it. By way of example, this category includes:
- Volume adjustment of video or sound players.
- The speeds for video streaming that are compatible with your browser.
- Geolocation Cookies: These cookies are used to find out where in the world you are when the service is requested. This Cookie is absolutely anonymous and it is only used to help align content with your location.
- Registration Cookies: Registration Cookies are generated once the user has registered or after they have opened their session, and are used to identify the user in the services for the following purposes:
- To keep the user identified so that, if a service, browser or computer closes and the user logs in to that service at another time, they will remain identified, allowing them to browse without the need of identifying themselves again. This functionality may be removed if the user clicks on the function “close session”, so that this Cookie is deleted, and next time they connect to the service, the user will need to sign in to be identified.
- To check whether the user is authorized to access certain services; for instance, to participate in a competition.
- Analytical Cookies: 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 just generated in the visit, will work during subsequent visits to the Website Services to identify the visitor anonymously. The main purposes are:
- To allow the anonymous identification of Internet surfers through the “Cookie” (identifies browsers and devices, not people), and therefore the approximate counting of the number of visitors and their habits over time.
- To anonymously identify the most visited contents and, hence, the most appealing ones for users.
- To learn whether the user who is accessing is new or a repeat visitor.
- Behavioral-advertising Cookies: This type of “Cookies” makes it possible to offer commercials that are more in line with each anonymous user’s Website Services profile. Among others, the time or frequency spent viewing advertising positions, interaction with them, browsing patterns and/or the user’s behavior are stored, since they help create a profile of advertising interest. In this way, they make it possible to offer commercials that are appropriate to each user.
- Third-party advertising Cookies: Together with the advertising managed by the Website in its Services, the Website offers its advertisers the option of showing commercials through third parties (“AdServers”). In this way, these third parties can store Cookies sent from the Website Services that come from the Users’ browsers, as well as access the information stored therein.
