INFORMATION ABOUT COOKIES
A cookie is a small text file that a website, app, or other platform stores on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or any other similar device, with information about your browsing or usage, such as a tag identifying your device. Cookies are necessary, for example, to facilitate browsing and to understand how users interact with platforms, so they can be improved. They are also very useful for offering advertising based on user preferences and for other purposes, detailed below. Cookies do not affect your computer or device.
“Cookies” also refer to similar technologies for installing and/or collecting information on or about your device (such as flash cookies, web beacons, or bugs, pixels, HTML5 [local storage], and SDK technologies for app formats). The term “cookies” also applies to the use of fingerprinting techniques, that is, those techniques that combine information to help identify your device. Sometimes, these technologies work together with cookies to collect and store information, either to provide you with certain functionalities or services on our Platform or to show you advertising on third-party platforms based on your browsing.
This explanation is a general example of what is understood by cookies for purely informative purposes. The specific cookies we use are detailed in the cookie configuration panel, accessible on our Platform.

Being strictly necessary, technical cookies are downloaded by default when they allow the display of the platform or the provision of the requested service.
2. Functionality or personalization cookies: These cookies store information so that the user can access the service or platform with certain features that may differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as, for example, language, number of results to be displayed when the user performs a search, the appearance or content of the service depending on the type of browser used by the user, or the region from which they access the service, etc. Not accepting these cookies may result in slow site performance or incorrect recommendations.
3. Analysis cookies: These allow the quantification of the number of users, sections visited on the website, and how users interact with the platform, enabling the measurement and statistical analysis of usage, with the aim of introducing improvements based on the analysis of usage data by users of the platform or service.
4. Behavioral advertising cookies: These store information on users’ behavior obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, allowing the development of a specific profile to display advertising based on it. These cookies allow the most efficient management possible of advertising spaces that the editor may have included directly or in collaboration with third parties.
