This website (the “Site”) uses its own and third party cookies to function properly, to maintain the session and to personalize user experience, as well as to obtain statistics about its use.

Through the configuration of Cookies, or the acceptance of the Cookies notice, you are consenting to the installation of cookies informed or configured (unless you have modified the configuration of your browser to reject all or certain cookies by default).

Our Site does not sell personal information. Like most websites, our Site uses cookies and other technologies to interact with third parties and service providers for things like website analytics and advertising. Some of this website interaction with third parties may be viewed as a “sale” under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), which defines “sale” very broadly. This Cookies Policy describes how you can control cookies and other tracking technologies on our Site. You must take the actions described herein to exercise this control, as we are not able to do it for you. 

We have also set up a process for California residents to record their preference to opt-out of the sale of personal information. Please click here to read our Privacy Statement.

Please note, recording your California opt-out preference will NOT change the way cookies work on our Site. For that purpose, you must take the action described in this Cookie Policy.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites that you visit. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the website. Cookies are not viruses - they are plain text items and are not compiled code - so they cannot be executed on, or affect the operation of, the device.

Some cookies are temporary, like the “session cookies” and remain on the user's machine until they close the website. They do not remain on the user's computer. Some others are persistent, this means that stay stored in a computer's cookies file after the user has closed the website. They will re-connect to the web page when it is next opened, remembering information that facilitates navigation (direct access to the service without needing to repeat the login process) or providing a commercial service (offering products or services related to previous visits).

Cookies can be created by the website being visited (they are called “own cookies”) and some will be received by the website owner from third parties (they are called “third-party cookies”) when navigating a website generated by a third-party service hosted by that website. For example, a cookie used by an advert or advertising banner on the website visited.

The purposes of the cookies may differ as follows:

Technical cookies or functional cookies

Technical cookies are those that allow the user to navigate through the website or application and the use of different options or services that exist therein. For example, control traffic and data communication, identify the session, access restricted access, remember elements regarding an order, make the application for registration or participation in an event, use security elements during the browsing and storing contents for the dissemination of videos or sound.

Customization cookies

Are those that allow the user to access the service with some general characteristics predefined in their device or that the user defines him/herself. For example, the language, the type of browser through which you access the service, the selected content design, geolocation of the device and the regional configuration from where the service.

Advertising cookies

Are those that allow the effective management of advertising spaces that have been included in the website or application from which the service is provided. They allow to adapt the content of the advertising so that it is relevant for the user and to avoid showing ads that the user has already seen.

Social media buttons

On our website we have included buttons for Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn to promote webpages (e.g. “like”, “pin”) or share (e.g. “tweet”) on social networks like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. These buttons work using pieces of code coming from Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn themselves. This code places cookies. These social media buttons also can store and process certain information, so a personalized advertisement can be shown to you.

Please read the privacy statement of these social networks (which can change regularly) to read what they do with your (personal) data which they process using these cookies. The data that is retrieved is anonymized as much as possible. Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn are located in the United States.

Analytical cookies

Are those that allow tracking and analysis of the behavior of users on websites. The information collected through this type of cookies is used in the measurement of the activity of the websites, application or platform and for the elaboration of navigation profiles of the users of said websites, with the purpose of introducing improvements in the service based on of the usage data that users make.
