Cookie Policy
What are cookies?
In general language, the term "cookie" refers to a baked treat, but in web browsing, a "cookie" is something completely different. When you access our Website, a small amount of text called a "cookie" is stored in your device's browser. This text contains various information about your browsing habits, preferences, content customization, and more.
There are other technologies that function similarly and are also used to collect data about your browsing activity. We collectively refer to all these technologies as "cookies."
The specific uses we make of these technologies are described in this document.
What are cookies used for on this website?
Cookies are an essential part of how our Website works. The main objective of our cookies is to improve your browsing experience—for example, by remembering your preferences (language, country, etc.) during browsing and on future visits. The information collected in cookies also allows us to improve the site, adapt it to your interests as a user, speed up your searches, and more.
In certain cases, if we have obtained your prior informed consent, we may use cookies for other purposes, such as gathering information that allows us to show you advertising based on the analysis of your browsing habits.
What are cookies NOT used for on this website?
The cookies we use do not store sensitive personally identifiable information such as your name, address, password, or similar data.
Who uses the information stored in cookies?
The information stored in the cookies on our Website is used exclusively by us, except for those identified below as "third-party cookies," which are used and managed by external entities that provide us with services to improve user experience. For example, statistics regarding the number of visits, most popular content, etc., are typically managed by Google Analytics.

What types of cookies are used on this website?
Each website uses its own cookies. On our website, we use the following:
BASED ON THE MANAGING ENTITY
- First-party cookies: These are sent to the User's terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself and from which the service requested by the User is provided.
- Third-party cookies: These are sent to the User's terminal equipment from a computer or domain that is not managed by the publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through cookies.
In the event that cookies are served from equipment or a domain managed by the publisher itself, but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered first-party cookies if the third party uses them for its own purposes (for example, improving the services it provides or delivering advertising services on behalf of other entities).
BASED ON THEIR PURPOSE
- Technical cookies: These are necessary for navigation and the proper functioning of our Website, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, processing registration or participation requests for an event, counting visits for software licensing billing purposes, using security elements while browsing, storing content for video or audio broadcasting, enabling dynamic content (e.g., loading animation for text or images), or sharing content through social networks.
- Analytics cookies: These allow us to quantify the number of users and perform statistical measurement and analysis of how users utilize the Website.
- Preference or customization cookies: These allow information to be remembered so that the User accesses the service with certain characteristics that can differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as language, the number of results to display when performing a search, or the layout/content of the service depending on the browser type or region.
- Behavioral advertising cookies: These, processed by us or by third parties, allow us to analyze your Internet browsing habits so we can display advertising related to your browsing profile.
BASED ON THE TIME THEY REMAIN ACTIVE
- Session cookies: These are designed to collect and store data while the User accesses a web page. They are typically used to store information that is only necessary to retain for the provision of the service requested by the User on a single occasion (e.g., a list of purchased products) and disappear when the session ends.
- Persistent cookies: These are cookies in which data remains stored on the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the party responsible for the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years. In this regard, careful consideration should be given to whether persistent cookies are necessary, as privacy risks can be reduced by using session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to minimize their duration to what is strictly necessary for their purpose.
