The types of cookies we use
We use “analytical cookies” which, along with the information from the host server. These supply us with information related to the number of visits to our website and the sections with more visits. If you are on our website, the cookies will register the session and references.
Our cookies are analytical because they allow us to monitor and analyse the behaviour of the website users to which the cookies are linked. This information is used to measure the activity on the websites and to develop the navigation profiles of the users. Some of them are essential, and without them the website or some of its sections or content could not be displayed. Others are functional.
Essential cookies
These cookies are necessary for the proper use of the website, allowing access to the different sections. Without these cookies, many of the services available would not function.
Our has_js cookie is created by the website itself and is necessary for detecting whether the user’s browser is supported by Javascript. It does not collect personal data.
Navigation Cookies
These cookies collect information about the use of web visitors, for example, pages viewed, loading errors, etc. This information is generic and anonymous, and does not include personal data, nor does it collect information that identifies visitors. The ultimate objective is to improve the operation of the website.
Our Navigation Cookies are from a third-party, Google Analytics. You can obtain more information here
Functional Cookies
These cookies allow information (such as the user’s name, language, or the region where he or she is located) and more personal characteristics to be recorded. For example, they make it possible to offer personalized content based on the information and criteria that you have voluntarily provided. These cookies can also be used to record the changes made in text size, fonts, and other customizable parts of the webpage. The information collected by these cookies can be anonymous and cannot be used to follow your activity on other webpages.
We use cookie-agreed to gather cookie approval on behalf of users.
How to configure/manage cookies
To manage the use of cookies on our website, you can follow the instructions below. Every browser has its own guidelines to configure cookies, for which you must follow the instructions from the browser in use.
We provide some alternative ways to manage cookies which may be useful. Remember that the page may not function properly if you block cookies. If this happens, a message may appear in the browser indicating that it is necessary to enable cookies for it to work.
Private browsing mode
You can use the private or incognito browsing mode, which the majority of browsers on the market allow for.
When you use the private mode, you will avoid visited websites being saved, tracking cookies being stored, download history being saved, and user login details being stored. Passwords and forms are not saved.
However, the internet provider will still know what you have accessed the site. The user’s IP address will still be visible. Private mode access does not protect from attacks.
To access private navigation in Chrome, go to settings and access “New incognito window”; in Edge, go to settings and access “New InPrivate window”; in Firefox, access is reached through Tools and “New private window”; in IE 11, go to Tools and access Safety and then “InPrivate browsing”; in Opera, you can access it from the Menu by selecting “New private window”.
Tools
There are multiple tools on the market that can help you manage cookies. These tools are designed either to avoid the functioning of cookies or to block their functions. For example, Ghostery or Do Not Track Me.
You can block behavioural cookies (from other websites because we do not use them) through the exclusion platform published on http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices

Lastly, we want to ask you if you are aware of tracking technologies?
Both webpages and email address –HTML-, may include other tracking technologies; for example, those called “web beacons”. “Web beacons” are small “transparent” images which can provide statistical information and have similar purposes to cookies. They are usually used alongside cookies, although they are not directly stored. If you disable cookies, the “web beacons” can still run, but with more restricted operations.
When we use beacons, we will clearly inform you through a banner that is similar to that of the cookies.
