This website uses first-party and third-party cookies to improve the browsing experience, enable content sharing on social networks and obtain usage statistics.
You can restrict or prevent cookies through your browser settings and stop them being stored on your device.
The website uses cookie-derived information for purposes such as general visit statistics as described in this policy.
Please read this Cookie Policy carefully so that you understand how cookies are used and the choices available to you.
Cookie use is subject to Article 22.2 of Spanish Law 34/2002 on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce and other applicable consent requirements.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that a server places in a user’s browser. They can be used to collect standard internet log information and information about how visitors interact with a website. Cookies are commonly used to remember information between visits, help websites operate efficiently, support personalisation and provide analytics about website use.
What types of cookies are there?
Cookies used on this website may include session and third-party cookies. They can store or access information such as language, browser type and other general preferences, and can be used to analyse activity in order to improve and personalise services.
According to how long they remain active, cookies may be session cookies, which expire when the browser is closed, or persistent cookies, which expire when their purpose has been fulfilled, on a set date, or when they are manually deleted.
| First name | Type | Expiry | Purpose | Class |
| __utma | Third party (Google Analytics) | 2 years | Used to distinguish users and sessions. | Non-exempt |

Cookies can also be classified according to their purpose:
Performance cookies
Performance cookies can remember preferences for features used on a service so that they do not need to be configured on every visit. Examples can include audio or video settings, compatible streaming settings, and items saved in an e-commerce shopping cart.
Geolocation cookies
These cookies may be used to determine the country from which a service is requested, helping tailor content to a general location.
Login cookies
Login cookies may be created after a user registers or signs in and can be used to recognise the user within services for purposes such as:
Keeping the user signed in so that returning to the service does not always require a new login. If the user signs out, the relevant cookie may be removed and a new login will be required on the next visit.
Checking whether a user is authorised to access certain services, for example to take part in a competition.
Some services may also connect with social networks such as Facebook or Twitter. If a user signs in using social-network credentials, the relevant social network may store a persistent cookie to remember identity until it expires. The user can manage or revoke this access through the settings of the relevant social network.
Analytics cookies
When a user visits a service, a third-party analytics provider may generate an analytics cookie on the user’s device. This can be used on later visits to recognise a browser or device anonymously. The main purposes include:
Allowing anonymous recognition of browsers and devices rather than individuals, so that approximate visitor numbers and trends over time can be measured.
Identifying the most visited content anonymously and determining whether a browser appears to be a new or returning visitor.
Important: unless a user chooses to register for a service, analytics cookies are intended to be used for statistical purposes rather than to identify the individual directly.
Advertising cookies
Advertising cookies can provide information about advertising shown to a browser or device, such as frequency of display, interactions and browsing patterns. This information may be used to infer advertising interests and show more relevant advertising.
Third-party advertising cookies
Advertising may also be served through third-party ad servers. Those third parties may place cookies through the service and access information stored in those cookies in accordance with their own policies.
Companies that generate these cookies have their own privacy policies. The policy currently refers to Google’s DoubleClick platform; further information is available at
http://www.google.es/policies/privacy/ads/#toc-doubleclick and http://www.google.es/policies/privacy/ads/.
How can I disable cookies in my browser?
Browsers can be configured to notify you when cookies are received and, where supported, to prevent them from being installed. You can also review stored cookies and their expiry dates in your browser and delete them.
