1. DESCRIPTION OF COOKIES

A “cookie” is a small text file that a website stores in the user’s browser. Cookies facilitate navigation through a website and are essential to the operation of the Internet.

Cookies are used, for example, to remember users’ preferences on a website, such as their language or browser; to analyse user habits and behaviour in order to improve the services offered; or to adapt website content to the visitor’s preferences.

2. WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES WE USE

According to the entity that manages them

• First-party cookies: These are cookies sent to your device from our own equipment or domains, from which we provide the service you have requested.
• Third-party cookies: These are cookies sent to your device from equipment or a domain that is not managed by us, but by another collaborating entity, such as those used by social networks or external content providers.

According to how long they remain active

• Session cookies: These are temporary cookies that remain in your browser’s cookie file until you leave the website, so none are stored on your computer’s hard drive. The information obtained through these cookies is used to analyse website traffic patterns. In the long term, this enables us to provide a better experience, improve content and make the website easier to use.
• Persistent cookies: These cookies are stored on the hard drive and our website reads them each time you visit again. A persistent cookie has a specific expiry date and will stop working after that date. We generally use these cookies to facilitate purchasing and registration services.

According to their purpose

• Strictly necessary: These cookies are necessary to ensure proper navigation through our website and that content loads efficiently. They enable the correct use of the different options or services available, such as completing the purchasing process or controlling fraud related to service security. They include analytical and aggregated cookies used to count website traffic and the pages visited.
• Analytics and optimisation: These first-party or third-party cookies allow us to optimise your experience on the website by assessing its performance and improving it through new features.
• Personalisation: They store information about the user’s preferences in order to improve the quality of our services and provide a better experience through recommended products. Some may operate across multiple devices.
• Behavioural advertising: These cookies are used to store information about users’ behaviour obtained through continuous observation. They allow us to understand browsing habits on the website and display advertising related to your browsing profile.
