A cookie is a small information file that is stored on your computer, smartphone or tablet every time you visit our website.
In general, a cookie is harmless: it does not contain viruses, Trojans, worms, etc. that may damage your terminal, but it does have some impact on your right to the protection of your personal data, as it collects certain information concerning your person (browsing habits, identity, preferences, etc.).
That is why, based on the provisions of the applicable regulations (LSSI and current personal data protection regulations), the activation of certain types of cookies will require your prior authorization.
Through a step as simple and fast as marking a box in our CHANGE YOUR CONSENT section, you can give your authorization for the activation of the cookies you want: take control and enjoy a personalized navigation on our page.
Before that, we will give you some additional information that will help you to make better decisions about it.:

All of them are deactivated by default, and your prior authorization is required for activation, which you can perform through a step as simple and fast as marking a box in our CHANGE YOUR CONSENT section

2- Some cookies are ours (we will call them own cookies) and others belong to external companies that provide services for our website (we will call them third-party cookies: an example could be cookies from external providers such as Google). In this sense, it is important that you know that some of these external suppliers may be located outside of Spain.
Globally, not all countries have the same level of data protection, with some countries being safer than others (for example, the European Union is a secure environment for your data). Our policy is to rely on reliable suppliers who, regardless of whether or not they are located in the European Union, have adopted the appropriate guarantees for the protection of your personal information. However, in the section called WHAT KIND OF COOKIES ARE CURRENTLY USED ON OUR WEBSITE?, you can consult the different Privacy and data protection policies of each of the aforementioned external providers, in order to make a conscious decision activation or not of third-party cookies used by our website

Session cookies: they expire automatically when you finish the session on your computer, smartphone or tablet. They are usually used to keep the necessary information while providing a service only once..
Persistent cookies: they remain stored on your computer, smartphone or tablet for a certain period, which can vary from a few minutes to several years.
