- What are cookies and why we use them?
A cookie is a file that is downloaded to a user's device when accessing certain web pages to store and retrieve information about the user's browsing habits.
Cookies allow this website, among other things, to store and retrieve information about the user's decisions and habits. On this website, we use them to personalize the experience on our websites, identify and remember registered users, facilitate navigation, and personalize advertising campaigns that may be displayed during browsing.
It is important to note that the use of cookies does not provide personal data about the user, who remains anonymous for this website.
The user can configure their browser to not accept the use of cookies, in which case the personalization of the experience would not apply, although they will still be able to access the content of our website normally.
More information about what cookies are and how they work can be found on the Wikipedia page (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cookie_(inform%C3%A1tica)).
- What type of cookies do we use?
Cookies, depending on their duration, can be divided into session or permanent cookies. The former expire when the user closes the browser. The latter expire depending on the purpose for which they are used or when they are manually deleted.
Additionally, depending on their purpose, cookies can be classified as follows:
Performance cookies: This type of cookie remembers your preferences for the tools found in the services, so you do not have to reconfigure the service each time you visit. Examples include:
- Volume settings for video or audio players.
- The video streaming speeds supported by your browser.
Geolocation cookies: These cookies are used to determine what country you are in when a website or service is requested. This cookie is completely anonymous and is only used to help target content to your location, such as for language purposes. Under no circumstances do we record the exact location from where you are visiting our website, nor do we store geolocation information from your devices.
Logging Cookies: Logging Cookies are generated once the User has registered or subsequently opened a session, and are used to identify them on the websites and services for the following purposes:
- To keep the user identified so that, if they close a service or website, their browser, or their computer, and at another time or on another day, they will remain identified, thus facilitating navigation without having to log in again. This feature can be disabled if the user clicks the "Exit" option. This cookie is deleted, and the next time they visit the website, they will have to log in to be identified.
- To check whether the user is authorized to access certain services, for example, to participate in a contest or post comments.
- Additionally, some services may use third-party connectors such as Facebook, Twitter, or Google. When a user registers for a service with credentials from a social network or third-party identification system, they authorize the service to store a persistent cookie that remembers their identity and grants them access to the website until it expires. The user can delete this cookie and revoke access to the website through social networks or third-party identification systems by updating their preferences on the specified social network.
Analytics cookies: Each time a user visits a website or service, a tool from a third-party provider (Google Analytics, Parsely, comScore, and similar) generates an analytics cookie on the user's device. This cookie, which is only generated during the visit, will be used on subsequent visits to the services on this website to anonymously identify the visitor. The main objectives pursued are:
- To allow the anonymous identification of browsing users through the "Cookie" (it identifies browsers and devices, not people) and therefore to approximate the number of visitors and their trends over time.
- Anonymously identify the most visited content, which is therefore most attractive to users.
- Determine whether the user accessing this website is new or a repeat visitor.
Important: Unless the user chooses to register on this website, the cookie will never be associated with any personal data that could identify them. These cookies will only be used for statistical purposes to collect metrics on the use of our websites.
More information about the privacy policy of these analytics tools can be found at: Google Analytics
Advertising cookies: These types of cookies allow us to expand the information on the ads shown to each anonymous user of this website. Among other things, they store the duration or frequency of viewing advertisements, the interaction with them, or the user's browsing patterns and/or behavior, as they help build an advertising interest profile. In this way, they allow us to offer advertising related to the user's interests.
Third-party advertising service tools (Adservers) are used to manage advertising on this website. These third parties may store cookies sent from this website to users' browsers, as well as access the data stored in them.
- The companies that generate these cookies have their own privacy policies.
This website currently uses the Google platform to manage these services. For more information, please visit https://www.google.es/policies/privacy/.
