You should know that we share information about your use of our website with Google, who may combine it with other information that you have provided or that it has collected from the use you have made of its services.

1) What is a cookie and what is it used for?

A cookie is a file that is downloaded to your computer, smartphone, tablet, etc. when you access certain websites. Cookies allow a website, among other things, to store and retrieve information about the browsing habits of a user or their computer and, depending on the information they contain and the way you use your computer, they can be used to recognise the user.

The set of «cookies» of all our users helps us to improve the quality of our website, allowing us to control which pages are useful, which are not and which can be improved. Under no circumstances can cookies damage your computer. On the other hand, the fact that they are active helps us to identify and resolve errors.

For your information, we use the following categories of cookies:

• Analytical Cookies: 

We inform you that we use analytical cookies. The main application we use to obtain and analyse browsing information is: Google Analytics: www.google.com/analytics/ and https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/cookie-usage which is a service provided by Google Inc, a company whose main office is at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View (California), CA 94043, United States («Google»).

Google Analytics uses «cookies», which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on its servers. Google will use this information on our behalf for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.

Google Analytics is a simple, easy-to-use tool that helps website owners measure how users interact with site content. When a user browses the pages of a website, Google Analytics provides the website owner with JavaScript tags (libraries) to record information about the page a user has viewed, for example, the URL of the page. Google Analytics JavaScript libraries use HTTP cookies to «remember» what a user has done on previous pages or interactions with the website.

Google Analytics supports two JavaScript libraries (tags) to measure website usage: analytics.js and ga.js.

The analytics.js JavaScript library is part of Universal Analytics and uses a single source cookie containing an anonymous identifier to differentiate users.

By default, this library sets cookies at the top-level domain, excluding the first point, and sets the cookie path at the root (/) level.

This library sets the following cookies:

• Technical Cookies:

Finally, this website uses technical cookies for the operation of the website, specifically to determine whether the user has accepted the use of cookies and what kind of cookies he/she has consented to them being installed and to determine the language of the browser. The deactivation of these cookies by blocking cookies may prevent the correct functioning of some of the website’s functionalities.

4) How can I configure or disable cookies?
