WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES ARE THERE?

There are several types of cookies:

This depends on who manages and uses them:

• Own cookies: those that are sent to your browser from our servers or website domains and are therefore cookies used by us.
• Third-party cookies: those sent from a server or website domain not directly managed by us, but by a third party (e.g.: Google services), which also uses them.
  Bear in mind that, when using third-party cookies, if the cookie settings system in this website does not allow the use to reject them after they have been accepted, you will have to eliminate them from the browser or the systems provided by the third party.
  You can read third-party cookie policies to find out whether they transfer data to third-party countries (see the links provided in the “Owner/Get to know third parties” section).

Depending on how long they are active:

• Session cookies: these are used to identify the user during a live session, which means they are memorized and are only valid for the duration of the session; that is, during the visit to the website, after which they are eliminated from your device.

Depending on their purpose:

• Technical cookies: these improve browsing and website functions.
• Custom cookies: these enable access to the service with certain default characteristics that depend on a series of criteria.
