What are Cookies?
In English, the term “cookie” literally means “biscuit,” but in the context of web browsing, a “cookie” is something entirely different. When you access our Website, a small amount of text is stored in your device’s browser, which is called a “cookie.” This text contains varied information about your browsing habits, preferences, content customizations, etc.
There are other technologies that function similarly and are also used to collect data about your browsing activity. We will collectively refer to all these technologies as “cookies.”
The specific uses we make of these technologies are described in this document.

What Types of Cookies Are Used on This Website?
Each website uses its own cookies. On our website, we use the ones indicated below:
ACCORDING TO THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES THEM
First-party Cookies:
These are sent to the User’s terminal equipment from equipment or a domain managed by the publisher itself and from which the service requested by the User is provided.Third-party Cookies:
These are sent to the User’s terminal equipment from equipment or a domain not managed by the publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.
In cases where cookies are served from equipment or a domain managed by the publisher itself, but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered first-party cookies if the third party uses them for its own purposes (e.g., improving the services it provides or providing advertising services to other entities).
ACCORDING TO THEIR PURPOSE
Technical Cookies:
These are necessary for navigation and the proper functioning of our Website, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying sessions, accessing restricted areas, processing registration requests or participation in events, counting visits for billing software licenses for the website service, using security elements during navigation, storing content for video or audio playback, and enabling dynamic content (e.g., loading animation for text or images).Analytical Cookies:
These allow us to quantify the number of users and thus perform statistical measurement and analysis of how users utilize the Website.Preference or Personalization Cookies:
These are cookies that remember information so that the User accesses the service with certain characteristics that may differentiate their experience from other users, such as language, the number of results to display when the User performs a search, the appearance or content of the service based on the type of browser through which the User accesses the service or the region from which the User accesses the service, etc.
ACCORDING TO THE PERIOD THEY REMAIN ACTIVE
Session Cookies:
These are designed to collect and store data while the User accesses a web page. They are typically used to store information that is only of interest to retain for the provision of the service requested by the User on a single occasion (e.g., a list of purchased products) and disappear when the session ends.Persistent Cookies:
These are cookies in which the data remains stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie manager, which can range from a few minutes to several years. In this regard, it is important to specifically consider whether the use of persistent cookies is necessary, as privacy risks could be reduced by using session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to minimize their temporal duration to the necessary extent based on the purpose of their use. For these purposes, Opinion 4/2012 of the GT29 indicated that for a cookie to be exempt from the duty of informed consent, its expiration must be related to its purpose. Therefore, session cookies are much more likely to be considered exempt than persistent cookies.
