Cookie and Local Storage Policy
Browsing this website with cookies and local storage mechanisms enabled necessarily implies acceptance of their use in accordance with this policy. If you do not accept them, you can configure your browser to prevent their use.
Cookies and local storage form part of the technology required for a website to function and are not inherently harmful, but it is important that you understand their implications for your privacy. This policy forms part of our privacy policy and covers the following:
- What are cookies?
- What are cookies used for?
- What is local storage?
- What are third-party cookies?
- Using browsers in private browsing mode
- How can cookies be blocked and deleted?
What are cookies?
“Cookies” are small temporary files created on the user’s device (computer, phone, tablet, etc.) when visiting a website. They allow the website to store information, for example to save usage preferences or recognise the user on subsequent visits.
When a website creates a cookie on the user’s device, the following information is stored:
- The address/domain of the website that created the cookie
- The duration of the cookie, which may range from a few minutes to several years
- The content of the cookie
The user can configure their browser at any time to prevent (block) the use of cookies by certain websites, as well as delete previously stored cookies.
What are cookies used for?
Essential technical cookies. These are used to manage navigation flow within the website or to keep the user logged in. If they are disabled, some sections of the website may not function correctly.
Personalisation cookies. These are required to remember certain user preferences.
Analytics cookies. These help us and third parties collect information about where users come from and how they navigate the website, in order to carry out statistical analysis and improve its structure and content.
Advertising cookies. These are used to manage the advertisements displayed on the website and determine their content or frequency.
Behavioural advertising cookies. These help collect the user’s browsing habits to create a profile of their interests and show advertisements tailored to them.
Social sharing cookies. These are required to identify the user on their social networks and allow them to share content.
What is local storage?
Local storage means any file created by the website on your browsing device. Cookies are one form of local storage, but there are others, for example:
Browser local storage. Some websites use local storage called “sessionStorage” and “localStorage” to save information; “sessionStorage” is automatically deleted when the browser is closed, whereas to delete “localStorage” the user must clear their browsing history.
Silverlight local storage (“Isolated Objects”). Silverlight is a browser plug-in that allows interactive and multimedia elements to be incorporated into a website. Silverlight also allows the visited website to store files on the user’s device.
A web beacon is a tracking technique that involves inserting an image hosted on an Internet server into a website or email so that, when the browser or email program connects to that server to download and display the image, the access is recorded. Sometimes these images are very small or transparent, so the user may not notice that they are there.
What are third-party cookies?
Many websites include functions or features provided by third parties, such as:
- Analytics on page access and usage.
- Interactive maps.
- Videos and other multimedia elements.
- Social media buttons.
- Advertising.
The provider of a function or feature may use cookies and other local storage technologies according to its own criteria and purposes. Some providers use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect information about the user’s browsing habits in order to show advertising tailored to their interests.
Browsing this website with cookies and local storage enabled necessarily implies acceptance of the privacy policies established by the providers of the following functions or features:
| Function or feature | Third-party provider of the function or feature | Third-party provider’s privacy policy |
| Google Analytics | Google, Inc | http://www.google.es/intl/es/analytics/privacyoverview.html |
| Google Maps, Youtube | Google, Inc | http://www.google.com/intl/es_es/policies/privacy/ |
Some of these functions may track how you browse in order to understand your interests and offer advertising tailored to them. Cookies and local storage are tools that help collect your browsing data.
