Cookie Policy
What are cookies?
In English, the word «cookie» usually refers to a baked treat, but in the context of web browsing, a «cookie» is something entirely different. When you access our Website, a small amount of text called a «cookie» is stored in your device’s browser. This text contains various information about your browsing, habits, preferences, content customization, etc.
There are also other technologies that work similarly and are used to collect data about your browsing activity. We refer to all these technologies collectively as “cookies.”
The specific ways in which we use these technologies are described in this document.
What are cookies used for on this website?
Cookies are an essential part of how the Website functions. The primary purpose of our cookies is to enhance your browsing experience. For example, they help remember your preferences (language, country, etc.) during navigation and on future visits. The information collected by cookies also allows us to improve the website, tailor it to your interests as a user, speed up your searches, and so on.
In certain cases, if we have obtained your informed consent in advance, we may use cookies for other purposes, such as displaying advertisements based on the analysis of your browsing habits.

Who uses the information stored in the 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 to enhance the user experience. For example, statistics regarding the number of visits, most viewed content, etc., are typically managed by Google Analytics.

If you prefer to avoid the use of cookies, you can REJECT them or CONFIGURE which ones to block and which ones to allow. (In this document, we provide detailed information about each type of cookie, its purpose, recipient, duration, etc.)

What types of cookies are used on this website?
Each website uses its own cookies. On our Website, we use the following types:
ACCORDING TO THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES THEM
First-party cookies:
These are sent to the user’s device from a computer or domain managed by the website owner and are used to provide the service requested by the user.
Third-party cookies:
These are sent to the user’s device from a computer or domain not managed by the website owner, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.
If cookies are served from a system managed by the website owner, but the information is handled by a third party for its own purposes (e.g., for advertising or analytics), these are considered third-party cookies.
ACCORDING TO THEIR PURPOSE
Technical cookies:
These are necessary for browsing and for the proper functioning of the Website. For example: managing traffic and data communication, identifying sessions, accessing restricted areas, processing registrations or participation in events, counting visits for software licensing billing, using security elements, storing content for video or audio distribution, enabling dynamic content (like text or image animations), or sharing content via social networks.
Analytics cookies:
These allow us to count users and perform statistical measurements and analyses of how users interact with the Website.
Preference or customization cookies:
These remember information so that the user accesses the service with certain characteristics that may differentiate their experience from that of other users. For example: language, number of results per search, appearance or content based on browser type, or region from which the user accesses the service.
ACCORDING TO THEIR DURATION
Session cookies:
These are designed to collect and store data only while the user is accessing a web page. They are typically used to store information that is only needed to provide the service on a single occasion (e.g., a list of purchased products) and are deleted when the session ends.
Persistent cookies:
These store data on the user’s device and can be accessed and processed for a defined period by the cookie manager, ranging from a few minutes to several years. The need for persistent cookies should be carefully evaluated since session cookies are generally less intrusive. If persistent cookies are used, their duration should be minimized based on their purpose. According to WP29 Opinion 4/2012, for a cookie to be exempt from the consent requirement, its expiration must relate to its purpose. Therefore, session cookies are more likely to be considered exempt than persistent ones.
