What is a cookie?
A cookie is a harmless text file that is stored in your browser when you visit almost any website. The purpose of a cookie is to enable the website to remember your visit when you return to browse that page. Although many people are unaware of this, cookies have been in use for 20 years, since the first browsers for the World Wide Web appeared.
What is NOT a cookie?
It is not a virus, Trojan horse, worm, spam, spyware, or pop-up window.
What information does a cookie store?
Cookies do not usually store sensitive information about you, such as credit card or bank details, photographs, your ID number, or personal information, etc. The data they store is technical in nature, such as personal preferences, content personalization, etc.
The web server does not associate you as a person, but rather your web browser. In fact, if you usually browse with Internet Explorer and try browsing the same website with Firefox or Chrome, you will see that the website does not realize that you are the same person because it is actually associating the browser, not the person.
What types of cookies are there?
Technical cookies: These are the most basic and allow, among other things, to know when a human or an automated application is browsing, when an anonymous user and a registered user are browsing, basic tasks for the operation of any dynamic website. Analysis cookies: These collect information about the type of browsing you are doing, the sections you use most, products consulted, time zone of use, language, etc. Advertising cookies: These display advertising based on your browsing, your country of origin, language, etc. What are first-party and third-party cookies?
First-party cookies are generated by the page you are visiting, and third-party cookies are generated by external services or providers such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, etc.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE USE OF COOKIES Cookies are only associated with an anonymous User and their computer and do not provide references that allow the User's personal data to be deduced. Cookies are files that the website or application used by the user installs in their browser or device (smartphone, tablet, or connected TV) while browsing the pages or application, and are used to store information about their visit. Like most websites, our website uses cookies to:
Ensure that web pages can function properly.
Store your preferences, such as the language you have selected or the font size.
Learn about your browsing experience.
Collect anonymous statistical information, such as which pages you have viewed or how long you have been on our media.
Cookies, depending on their permanence, can be divided into session cookies or permanent cookies. The former expire when the user closes the browser. The latter expire depending on when the purpose for which they serve is fulfilled or when they are manually deleted.
Additionally, depending on their purpose, cookies can be classified as follows:
PERFORMANCE COOKIES:
This type of cookie remembers your preferences for the tools found in the Services, so you do not have to reconfigure the service each time you visit us. Examples of this type include:
Volume settings for video or audio players.
Video transmission speeds that are compatible with your browser.
Items saved in the “shopping cart” in E-commerce Services such as stores.
GEO-LOCATION COOKIES:
These cookies are used to find out which country you are in when you request a Service. This cookie is completely anonymous and is only used to help tailor content to your location.
To keep the User identified so that, if they close a Service, browser, or computer and return to that Service at another time or on another day, they will remain identified, thus facilitating their browsing without having to re-identify themselves. This functionality can be disabled if the User clicks on the “log out” functionality, so that this cookie is deleted and the next time the User enters the Service, they will have to log in to be identified. Additionally, some Services may use connectors to social networks such as Facebook or Twitter. When the User registers for a Service with credentials from a social network, they authorize the social network to store a persistent cookie that remembers their identity and guarantees them access to the Services until it expires. The User can delete this cookie and revoke access to the Services through social networks by updating their preferences on the specific social network.
ANALYTICAL COOKIES:
Each time a User visits a Service, a tool from an external provider (Omniture, Netscope, Comscore, and similar providers may be added to this list if they vary from the current ones) generates an analytical Cookie on the User's computer. This Cookie is used to anonymously identify the visitor. The main objectives pursued are:
To allow the anonymous identification of browsing Users through the “Cookie” (it identifies browsers and devices, not people) and therefore the approximate counting of the number of visitors and their trend over time.
To anonymously identify the most visited content and therefore the most attractive to Users. To know whether the User accessing the site is new or a repeat visitor. ADVERTISING COOKIES: This type of cookie allows the information in the ads shown to each anonymous User to be expanded. Among other things, they store the duration or frequency of viewing advertising positions, interaction with them, or the User's browsing patterns and/or behavior, as they help to create a profile of advertising interest. In this way, they allow advertising to be offered that is related to the User's interests. THIRD-PARTY ADVERTISING COOKIES:
In addition to the advertising managed by our website, advertisers may be offered the option of serving ads through third parties (“Ad-Servers”). The companies that generate these cookies have their own privacy policies. For chat services, third-party cookies are used, in which case you should consult the provider's privacy policy. The use of cookies allows us to optimize your browsing experience and carry out statistical and analytical studies, adapting the information and services offered to your interests, in order to provide you with a better experience whenever you visit us. Our website uses cookies to function, adapt, and facilitate the user's browsing experience as much as possible.
