Concept and types of cookies
A “cookie” is a small text file that is placed on the User’s computer (or on another device such as a laptop, tablet or smartphone) when visiting websites. They are widely used by websites for functional purposes, in order to make them work more efficiently. For example, we will place a cookie on the User’s device when he/she selects his/her preferred language at the Home page. The next time that user visits the Site, our server remembers this preference, and he/she will always navigate the website in the language chosen.
he Provider uses third-party services to track how you use the Website and for the creation of profiles based on your browsing habits, with analytical and advertising purposes. These third parties may also use cookies, over which the Provider has no control. In addition, you must take into account that the banners and advertisements appearing on the Website are managed by platforms or websites of third parties, with their own cookies policies, that could be different from the Provider’s and are beyond its control.
Depending on the function and purpose of their use, cookies are usually divided into the following categories:

- Analytical and performance cookies: allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors, as well as to gather information on how they use the website (e.g. which pages a visitor opens more frequently and and if you receive any error messages from some pages). We use these cookies to track and analyse the behavior of the users of the websites to which they are linked. Information collected through such cookies is used to measure the activity of websites, applications or platforms and to create navigation profiles of the users of such sites, applications and platforms, in order to improve the services and the user experience based on the analysis of usage data. This helps us to improve the way the Website works, for example, by ensuring that Users can easily find what they are looking for.
Depending on their ownership, cookies can be divided into:
- “first-party cookies” or “own cookies”: they are created by the data controller operating the Website, in this case, the Provider; and,
- “third-party cookies”: those created by data controllers who do not operate the Website (that is, companies outside the Provider).
