Cookie Policy

This website, like most websites on the Internet, uses cookies to improve and optimize the user experience. Below you will find detailed information about what “Cookies” are, what types are used by this website, how you can disable them in your browser, and how to specifically block the installation of third-party cookies.

I.- WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are files that the website or application you are using installs in your browser or on your device (smartphone, tablet, or connected TV) during your browsing on the pages or the application, and they serve to store information about your visit. Like most websites on the Internet, this portal uses cookies to:

• Ensure that web pages function properly.
• Store your preferences, such as the language you have selected or the font size.
• Understand your browsing experience.
• Collect anonymous statistical information, such as which pages you have visited or how long you have spent on our media.

Cookies are associated solely with an anonymous user and their computer/device and do not provide references that allow for the identification of personal data. At all times, you will be able to access your browser settings to modify and/or block the installation of cookies, without this preventing access to the contents, except for the cookies that are essential for the provision of the service, without which the website cannot function. Keep in mind that if you modify and/or block the installation of cookies, the quality of the functioning of the services or their availability may be affected.

1. TYPES, PURPOSES, AND FUNCTIONING OF COOKIES

Cookies can be divided into session cookies or permanent cookies based on their duration:

• Session Cookies: These are cookies that store data only while the user is accessing the website and, once the user leaves, are not retained on the user’s hard drive and are therefore deleted from the computer.
• Permanent Cookies: These cookies store data on the user’s hard drive so that they can be accessed and used each time the user visits our website.

Depending on the entity that manages them, we can distinguish between:

• Own Cookies: These are cookies that are sent to the user’s terminal from a computer or domain managed by the editor themselves and from which the requested service is provided to the user.
• Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies that are sent to the user’s terminal from a computer or domain not managed by the editor, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies. For example, Google Analytics or Comscore.

Depending on their purpose, cookies can be classified as follows:

• Technical Cookies: These allow the user to navigate through a website, platform, or application and use the various options or services that exist within it, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access areas, remembering the items that make up an order, carrying out the purchase process of an order, requesting registration or participation in an event, using security elements during navigation, storing content for video or sound broadcasting, or sharing content through social networks.
• Personalization Cookies: These allow the user to access the service with some general pre-defined characteristics based on a series of criteria on the user’s terminal, such as the language, the type of browser through which the user accesses the service, the regional configuration from where the service is accessed, etc.
• Analysis Cookies: These allow the entity responsible for them to monitor and analyze the behavior of users on the websites they are linked to. The information collected through this type of cookie is used to measure the activity of websites, applications, or platforms and to create browsing profiles for users of these sites, applications, and platforms, in order to introduce improvements based on the analysis of the data on the usage made by the users of the service.
• Advertising Cookies: These allow for the effective management of advertising spaces that, if applicable, the editor has included on a website, application, or platform from which the requested service is provided based on criteria such as the edited content or the frequency with which ads are shown.
• Behavioral Advertising Cookies: These allow for the effective management of advertising spaces that, if applicable, the editor has included on a website, application, or platform from which the requested service is provided. These cookies store information about users’ behavior obtained through the continuous observation of their browsing habits, allowing for the development of a specific profile to show advertisements based on this.
• External Social Media Cookies: These are used to allow visitors to interact with the content of different social platforms (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.) and are generated only for users of those social networks. The conditions for using these cookies and the information collected are governed by the privacy policy of the corresponding social platform.

III. COOKIES USED ON THIS WEBSITE

Following the guidelines of the Spanish Agency for the Protection of Data, we proceed to detail the use of cookies made by this website in order to inform you as accurately as possible.

1. LEGITIMACY FOR THE USE OF COOKIES

In the case of technical cookies, which are essential for navigating this website and receiving the services offered through it, the legal basis for their use is the agreement whereby the user decides to visit this website and use its services.

The legal basis for the use of other cookies is the user’s consent, which is requested at the time of accessing this website and can be revoked at any time. The withdrawal of such consent will not affect the possibility of navigating this website and using its services, but the data processing carried out previously will not lose its legality due to the withdrawal of consent.

1.TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL DATA TO THIRD COUNTRIES OR INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS

According to the current regulations on data protection, in articles 44 to 50 of the GDPR, as well as in articles 40 to 43 of the LOPD, we understand an International Data Transfer to be those activities that involve the processing of personal data carried out in the context of the activities of establishments in more than one Member State of a controller or processor in the Union, if the controller or processor is established in more than one Member State, as well as the processing of personal data carried out in the context of the activities of a single establishment of a controller or processor in the Union, but which substantially affects or is likely to substantially affect data subjects in more than one Member State.

Both the GDPR and the LOPD-gdd establish that international data transfers can only be carried out if the controller or processor can ensure that the level of data protection is guaranteed through:

• An adequacy decision made by the European Commission (Art. 45 GDPR).
• Adequate safeguards for data protection (Art. 46 GDPR).
• Binding Corporate Rules (Art. 47 GDPR).

If you would like more information about them and their conditions, you can visit the following link: AEPD International Transfers.

Carrying out an international data transfer without complying with the applicable requirements under Article 83.5.c of the GDPR would constitute a violation that, in the case of a company, could be sanctioned with an administrative fine (economic) for the controller or processor in the private sector of twenty million euros (€20,000,000) or an amount equivalent to 4% at most of the total annual global turnover of the previous financial year, opting for the higher amount.

1.EXERCISING RIGHTS IN RELATION TO THE USE OF COOKIES ON THIS WEBSITE

According to the current data protection regulations (GDPR/LOPD-gdd), any person has the right to obtain confirmation about whether or not personal data concerning them is being processed. Additionally, under the legally established conditions, data subjects have the right to access their data, as well as to request the rectification of inaccurate data or, if applicable, to request its deletion when, among other reasons, the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. In the case of cookies, these rights can be exercised subject to the limitations arising from the nature of these files.

Under the conditions provided in the General Data Protection Regulation, as well as the LOPD-gdd, data subjects may request the limitation of the processing of their data or their portability, in which case we will only retain them for the exercise or defense of claims.

In certain circumstances and for reasons related to their particular situation, data subjects may object to the processing of their data. If you have given consent for a specific purpose, you have the right to withdraw it at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of the processing based on consent before its withdrawal. In these cases, we will stop processing the data or, if applicable, we will stop doing so for that specific purpose, except for legitimate compelling reasons or for the exercise or defense of possible claims.

In case of any violation of your rights, especially when you have not obtained satisfaction in their exercise, you can file a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (contact details accessible at www.agpd.es) or another competent supervisory authority. You can also obtain more information about your rights by contacting these bodies or visiting our Privacy Policy.
