What is a Cookie?
Cookies are files that contain small amounts of information downloaded to the user’s device when visiting our website. Their main purpose is to recognize the user (through identifiers that do not allow identification of any physical person) each time they access the website, and also enable us to improve the quality and usability of our websites.

Types of Cookies
There are different types of cookies. They all work in the same way, but they have small differences:
Session Cookies: Session cookies last only for the duration of the visit and are deleted when the user closes the browser. Their main purpose is to identify the type of device, support website security, or its basic functionality. They do not contain personal information that allows the identification of a person.
Persistent or Permanent Cookies: They are stored on the device’s hard drive, and the website reads them each time the user makes a new visit to the website; they have a specific expiration date, after which the cookie stops working. They allow identifying user actions and preferences; analyze visits and help understand how users arrive at the website and improve the services offered by it.
Functionality Cookies: They allow remembering decisions made by the user, such as their login or identifier. The information from these cookies is anonymous (i.e., it does not contain a name, address, or other personal data).
Third-Party Cookies: Third-party cookies are cookies installed by a website that is not the one the user is visiting; for example, those used by social networks (such as Facebook) or by external content plugins (such as Google Maps).
Analytical Cookies: These are cookies intended for periodic maintenance and ensuring the best functioning and service to the user; by collecting data on their activity.
