Cookie Policy
What are cookies?
In English, the term "cookie" literally means biscuit, but in the context of web browsing, a "cookie" is something completely different. When you access our website, a small text file called a “cookie” is stored in your device’s browser. This text contains various information about your browsing activity, preferences, content customizations, and more.
There are other technologies that work in a similar way and are also used to collect information about your browsing behavior. We will refer to all of these technologies collectively as "cookies".
The specific ways in which we use these technologies are described in this document.

What types of cookies are used on this website?
Each website uses its own cookies. On our website, we use the following types:
ACCORDING TO THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES THEM
First-party cookies:
These are sent to the user’s device from a domain managed by the website’s owner and are used to provide the service requested by the user.
Third-party cookies:
These are sent to the user’s device from a domain not managed by the website owner, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.
If cookies are served from a domain managed by the website owner but the information collected is processed by a third party for its own purposes (for example, to improve the services it provides or to offer advertising services to other entities), they are not considered first-party cookies.
ACCORDING TO THEIR PURPOSE
Technical cookies:
These are necessary for browsing and the proper functioning of our website. They are used, for example, to control data traffic and communication, identify sessions, access restricted areas, remember items in an order, process a purchase, manage payments, control security-related fraud, register for an event, count visits for software licensing billing purposes, use security features while browsing, store content for video or audio playback, enable dynamic content (e.g., loading animations), or share content via social networks.
Analytics cookies:
These allow us to quantify the number of users and perform statistical analysis of how users interact with our website in order to improve our products or services.
Preference or personalization cookies:
These store information that allows the user to access the service with certain features that can personalize their experience, such as language preferences, the number of search results displayed, or the website’s appearance depending on the browser type or region of access.
Behavioral advertising cookies:
These, whether managed by us or by third parties, allow us to analyze your browsing habits so we can display advertising related to your browsing profile.
ACCORDING TO THE LENGTH OF TIME THEY REMAIN ACTIVE
Session cookies:
These are designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website.
They are typically used to store information relevant only for the duration of a session (for example, items added to a shopping cart) and disappear when the session ends.
Persistent cookies:
These cookies store data on the device for a defined period, which may range from a few minutes to several years. It should be carefully evaluated whether persistent cookies are necessary, as privacy risks can be reduced by using session cookies. When persistent cookies are used, their duration should be minimized according to their purpose. According to Working Party 29 Opinion 4/2012, for a cookie to be exempt from the informed consent requirement, its expiration must be directly related to its intended use. Therefore, session cookies are more likely to be exempt than persistent ones.
