COOKIE POLICY
This website, like most websites on the Internet, uses cookies to improve the user’s browsing experience. Cookies personalise the services offered by this website, providing each user with information that may be of interest based on how they use this website.

Definition and Function of Cookies
Cookies are small information files that are downloaded to your computer when you access certain websites. Cookies enable a website, among other things, to store and retrieve information about a user’s browsing habits or those of their device and, depending on the information they contain and the way the device is used, they may be used to recognise the user. Cookies play a very important role, as without them using the Internet would be a much more frustrating experience.
If you do not wish to receive cookies, please configure your Internet browser to delete them from your computer’s hard drive, block them or notify you when they are installed.
2. Types of Cookies
There are various types of cookies. Depending on the entity that manages the domain from which the cookies are sent and processes the data obtained, two categories can be distinguished: first-party cookies and third-party cookies.
There is also a second classification according to the length of time cookies remain stored in the user’s browser, distinguishing between session cookies and persistent cookies.
Finally, cookies may also be classified into five categories according to the purpose for which the data collected are processed: technical cookies, personalisation cookies, analytics cookies, advertising cookies, and behavioural advertising cookies.

We store information about our users’ browsing activities on the websites where our advertisements are displayed in order to deliver advertisements and/or specific advertising based on the user’s interests.
Likewise, when you visit a website or open an email containing an advertisement or promotion relating to our products or services, a cookie may be installed in your browser.
