Use of cookies

This website may use technical cookies (small information files that the server sends to the computer of the person accessing the page) to carry out certain functions considered essential for the correct functioning and visualization of the site. In all cases, the cookies used are of a temporary nature, with the sole purpose of making navigation of the site more efficient, and disappear at the end of the user’s session. Under no circumstances do these cookies themselves provide personal data, and they will not be used to collect such data.

Through the use of cookies, the server where the website is located may be able to recognize the browser used by the user, in order to facilitate navigation, allowing, for example, users who have previously registered to access areas, services, promotions or competitions reserved exclusively for them without having to register on each visit. They may also be used to measure the audience or traffic parameters, monitor progress and number of visits, etc. In these cases, the cookies used are technically non-essential, but are beneficial for the user.

IP addresses

The website servers can automatically detect the IP address and domain name used by the user. An IP address is a number automatically assigned to a computer when it connects to the Internet. All this information is recorded in a duly registered activity file on the server that allows the subsequent processing of the data in order to obtain purely statistical measurements that make it possible to know the number of page impressions, the number of visits made to the web servers, the order of visits, the access point, etc.
