COOKIE POLICY

Cookies are small files that some platforms, such as web pages, can install on your computer, smartphone, tablet or connected television when you access them. They may have a large variety of functions: saving your browsing preferences, gathering statistical information, enabling certain technical functionalities, storing and retrieving information on the browsing habits or preferences of a user or their device and even, on occasion and depending on the information they contain and the way you use your device, recognising it. A cookie is stored on a computer to personalise user browsing and make it as easy as possible. Cookies are only linked to a user and their computer and do not provide references that allow the user's personal information to be extrapolated. Users can configure their browser to notify them if a website tries to install a cookie, or can deny the installation.

Two main groups of cookies exist today:

1. Own cookies: These are cookies sent to the user terminal from equipment or a domain managed by the editor themself, from which the service requested by the user is provided.
2. Third party cookies: These are cookies sent to the user terminal from equipment or a domain not managed by the editor, but rather by another organisation which processes the data obtained through cookies.

Browsing this portal means that the types of cookies described below can be installed. According to the purpose for which the data collected by cookies is processed, they can be classified into:

3. Analysis cookies: These allow the person responsible for them to track and analyse the behaviour of users of the websites linked to these cookies. The information gathered by this type of cookies is used to measure website, application or platform activity and to draw up the browsing profiles of users of these websites, applications and platforms so that improvements can be implemented based on analysing the usage data of users of the service.
4. Advertising cookies: These enable the most efficient management possible of advertising spaces which, where applicable, editors have placed on a web page, application or platform offering the service requested, based on criteria such as published content or frequency of advertisement display.
5. Behavioural advertising cookies: These enable the most efficient management possible of advertising spaces which, where applicable, editors have placed on a web page, application or platform offering the service requested.
