What are cookies?
In English, “cookie” refers to a sweet treat, but in the context of web browsing, a “cookie” is something entirely different. When you visit our website, a small piece of text called a “cookie” is stored in your browser. This text contains various pieces of information about your browsing activities, preferences, content customizations, and more.
There are also other technologies that work similarly to cookies and are used to collect data about your browsing activity. We will refer to all of these technologies collectively as “cookies.”
The specific uses of these technologies are explained in this document.
What are cookies used for on this website?
Cookies are an essential part of how our website operates. The primary goal of our cookies is to enhance your browsing experience. For example, they allow us to remember your preferences (such as language, country, etc.) during your browsing session and in future visits. The information collected by cookies also helps us improve the website, tailor it to your interests, speed up your searches, and more.
In certain cases, if we have obtained your informed consent, we may use cookies for other purposes, such as gathering information that enables us to display advertisements based on your browsing habits.
What are cookies NOT used for on this website?
The cookies we use do not store sensitive personal information such as your name, address, password, or other identifiable details.
Who uses the information stored in the cookies?
The information stored in the cookies on our website is used exclusively by us, except for those cookies identified as “third-party cookies,” which are used and managed by external entities that provide services to improve the user experience. For example, statistics regarding the number of visits, most popular content, etc., are typically managed by Google Analytics.
How can you prevent the use of cookies on this website?
If you prefer not to use cookies, you can DECLINE their use or you can CONFIGURE which ones you want to allow or block (this document provides detailed information about each type of cookie, its purpose, recipient, duration, and more).
Once accepted, we won’t ask you again unless you delete the cookies from your device as indicated in the section below. If you wish to revoke your consent, you will need to delete the cookies and reconfigure your preferences.

What types of cookies are used on this website?
Each website uses its own cookies. On our website, we use the following types:
Based on the entity managing them:
- First-party cookies: These are sent to your device from a team or domain managed by the website owner and are used to provide the service requested by the user.
- Third-party cookies: These are sent to your device from a team or domain not managed by the website owner, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.
If the cookies are served from a team or domain managed by the website owner but the information collected is managed by a third party for their own purposes (e.g., improving services or providing advertising services for other entities), these are considered third-party cookies.
Based on their purpose:
- Technical cookies: These are necessary for the navigation and proper functioning of the website, such as controlling data traffic, identifying sessions, accessing restricted areas, processing subscription requests, counting visits for software licensing purposes, ensuring security during browsing, storing content for video or sound distribution, enabling dynamic content (e.g., loading animations), or sharing content via social networks.
- Analytical cookies: These cookies allow us to quantify the number of users and conduct statistical analysis of how users use the website.
- Preference or personalization cookies: These cookies remember your information so that you can access services with specific features that differentiate your experience from others, such as the language, number of results to show in search results, content display based on your browser type, or region of access.
- Behavioral advertising cookies: These cookies, processed by us or third parties, allow us to analyze your browsing habits to display ads related to your browsing profile.
- Affiliate cookies: These cookies enable tracking of visits from other websites with which we have an affiliate agreement. We participate in the Amazon EU Affiliate Program. Amazon and other advertisers may place cookies on your device to collect information, display ads, offer content based on your interests, or track your browsing, saving affiliate information in case you make a purchase within the next 24 hours.
More information can be found in the Amazon Affiliate Program. Notice about user interest-based advertising.
Based on the duration of the cookies:
- Session cookies: These are designed to collect and store data while the user is accessing a webpage. They are typically used to store information that is only necessary during a single session (e.g., a list of products purchased) and are deleted once the session ends.
- Persistent cookies: These cookies store data on your device for a defined period, ranging from a few minutes to several years. When using persistent cookies, we recommend minimizing their duration to reduce privacy risks. The EU Data Protection Working Party (WP29) indicated that cookies should only be exempt from informed consent if their expiration is related to their purpose. Therefore, session cookies are more likely to be exempt than persistent cookies.
