The set of “cookies” helps us improve the quality of our web, enabling us to personalise to a certain extent how each user will navigate our website.

Types of cookies: For further information to the user about the different cookie types and purposes, please note that:
1.- From the point of view of the ‘life span’ of the cookie (for how long the cookie remains active in our system), we may differentiate two cookie types:
- Session Cookies: temporary cookies that remain in the cookie store of your browser until you leave the website, thus no session cookie is saved to the user’s hard disk.

- Enabling only the communication between the user’s equipment and the network.
- Strictly delivering a service expressly requested by the user.
In the last two cases, please note that no information or consent from the user is required to install such cookies. Specifically, according to the interpretation from the UE’s Working Group of Experts, in their Article 29 of their Expert’s Report 4/20123, the cookies excluded from this requirement would be those intended for the following purposes:
- “User input” cookies
- User authentication or identification cookies (session only)
- User security cookies
- Multimedia player’s session cookies

- User interface personalisation cookies
- Plug-in cookies to exchange social media contents
All the rest of the Required cookies not included in the above scenarios would require prior information to and consent from the user.
- Functional cookies: cookies helping the user to improve the browsing experience in the site. An example of this type of cookies are those used to store the navigation data in a particular language.
- Analytical cookies: cookies enabling us to analyse how the website is used, in order to measure and improve its performance.
