What are cookies?

"Cookies" are small temporary files created on the user’s device (computer, phone, tablet, etc.) when visiting a website. These files allow the website to store or retrieve information while the user browses, such as saving their usage preferences, recognising them on future visits, or obtaining information about their browsing habits.

When a website creates a cookie on the user’s device, it stores the address/domain of the website that created it, the cookie’s duration (which can range from a few minutes to several years), and the cookie's content. Users can disable cookies at any time through this website’s configuration system, as well as configure their browser to block cookies from certain websites or delete previously stored cookies.

What are cookies used for?

The most common uses or purposes of cookies are:

  • Essential Technical Cookies: These are used to manage navigation flow within the website or to keep users logged in. Disabling them may result in certain parts of the website not functioning properly.
  • Personalisation Cookies: Necessary for remembering specific user preferences.
  • Analytical Cookies: These help us and third parties gather information about the origin of users and their browsing behaviour within the website. This data is used for statistical analysis to improve the site’s structure and content.
  • Advertising Cookies: Used to manage advertisements displayed on the website, including deciding on the content or frequency of ads.
  • Behavioural Advertising Cookies: These collect information about a user’s browsing habits to create a profile of their interests and display tailored advertisements.
  • Social Sharing Cookies: These are necessary to identify users on their social media platforms, enabling them to share content.

What do we mean by technologies similar to cookies?

Technologies similar to cookies refer to any type of data storage and retrieval mechanism used on the user’s device to obtain information. The most common examples include:

  • Browser Local Storage: Some websites use local storage systems called “sessionStorage” and “localStorage,” as well as the browser’s indexed database, to save information.
  • Local Storage for Browser Plug-ins: For example, Flash local storage (“Flash Local Shared Objects”) or Silverlight local storage (“Isolated Objects”).
  • Web Beacons: This tracking technique involves embedding an image hosted on an internet server into a webpage (or email). When the browser or email program connects to that server to download and display the image, the connection is logged. This allows the sender to know that the user has viewed the webpage or email. Sometimes, the image is very small or transparent, making it unnoticeable to the user.
  • Fingerprinting Techniques: These combine information obtained from the browser or browsing device to distinguish a user across successive visits to different websites.

What are third-party cookies? Who are the recipients of the information?

Cookies on this website can be classified, based on who creates them, into two categories:

  • First-Party Cookies: These are created and managed from our websites and domains. The information collected is managed directly or indirectly by us for our own purposes.
  • Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies created and managed by other websites that, although not entirely under our control, provide functionalities and features we have decided to include on our website. Examples include interactive maps, videos and multimedia elements, social media sharing buttons, advertisements, etc. These cookies are under the control of the third party providing the corresponding functionality.

The vast majority of third-party functionalities involve the third party accessing or collecting information (and using cookies) according to their own criteria and purposes. This may include collecting browsing habits to display personalised advertising. The following section details the third-party functions and features used on this website.

What third-party functions and features do we use on our website?

We include third-party functionalities such as analytics, maps, social buttons, tourism information, behavioural advertising, and others. Some of these features are provided by third parties located outside the European Union.

How long do cookies or similar technologies remain active?

Based on their duration or activity time, cookies can be classified as:

  • Temporary Session Cookies: These remain stored on the browsing device until the user leaves the website. The browser deletes them at the end of the browsing session.
  • Persistent Cookies: These remain on the browsing device and are read by the website each time the user visits again. These cookies are automatically deleted after a certain period, which can range from short to long durations.

This policy includes information about the duration of cookies; for further details, please refer to our privacy policy and the information provided in the privacy policies of third-party web function providers.

For information about cookie duration, see the section: list of cookies.
