Cookie policy

Which cookies this site uses and why.

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a file downloaded to your computer when you access certain web pages. Cookies allow a website, among other things, to store and retrieve information about a user's browsing habits or their device and, depending on the information they contain and how your device is used, they can be used to recognise you.

These tools only collect information on pages visited, the city of the IP address used, new users, visit frequency, time spent, browser, network operator or device type. They never collect names, surnames, postal addresses or similar data about visitors.

What types of cookies are there?

Biscuits can be first-party or third-party. First-party biscuits are sent to your device from equipment or a domain managed by the website's own publisher. Third-party biscuits come from equipment or a domain run by another organisation that processes the data they collect.

Biscuits can be session or persistent. Session biscuits are designed to request and store data while you browse a website. Persistent ones keep data stored on your device, accessible and processed for a period set by the biscuit owner, from a few minutes to several years.

Who is responsible for processing cookies on this website?

The website owner responsible for the cookies used here, and the contact details, are available in this page's Legal notice. Third-party biscuits different from this website's owner may also exist.

Which cookies does this website use and why are they used?

First-party cookies

They are used to identify the user on screen by their nickname, identify the user as a subscriber or not, record acceptance of the Cookie Policy, save and remember passwords and save search filters and, in general, provide personalised information according to the user's stated preferences.

Third-party cookies

These third-party applications may include analytics services (Google Analytics), social networks and other external services that may install cookies on your device.

How long are cookies kept?

Our own biscuits are deleted automatically when your session ends. Third-party cookie retention depends on each external provider.

What is the legal basis for using cookies?

For technical biscuits — those essential for browsing this website and receiving the service offered through it — the legal basis is the agreement by which you choose to visit this website and use its services.

The legal basis for all other cookies is your consent, requested when you visit this website and revocable at any time. Withdrawing consent will not affect your ability to browse and use this website, nor the lawfulness of earlier data processing.

Which recipients will the cookies be shared with, or who will be able to access them?

Where there are third-party biscuits, as indicated above, these third parties may access the biscuits and use them as described above.

What are your rights regarding this website's use of cookies?

Under current regulations, everyone has the right to obtain confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning them is being processed. Likewise, under the legally provided conditions, data subjects have the right to access their data, to request rectification of inaccurate data or, where appropriate, to request its erasure when, among other reasons, the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.

Under the General Data Protection Regulation, data subjects may request restriction of processing or portability; in such cases we will keep data solely for bringing or defending claims.

In certain circumstances, and for reasons related to their particular situation, data subjects may object to the processing of their data. If you have consented to a specific purpose, you may withdraw that consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent given before its withdrawal.

If your rights are infringed, especially if you have not obtained satisfaction when exercising them, you may complain to the Spanish Data Protection Agency (contact details at www.agpd.es) or another competent supervisory authority.
