This website uses third-party and proprietary cookies to provide you with a better browsing experience, allow you to share content on social media, and enable us to gather user statistics.

You can prevent the download of cookies through your browser settings, avoiding the storage of cookies on your device.

As the owner of this website, I inform you that we do not use any personal information from cookies; we only generate general visit statistics that do not involve any personal information.

It is crucial that you read this cookie policy and understand that, by continuing to browse, we will consider that you accept its use.

According to the terms included in Article 22.2 of Law 34/2002 on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce, if you continue browsing, you will be giving your consent to the use of these mechanisms.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are sets of data that a server deposits in the user's browser to collect standard Internet registration information and visitor behavior information on a website. In other words, they are small text files stored on the computer's hard drive that serve to identify the user when they connect to the website again. Their purpose is to record the user's visit and save certain information. Their use is common and frequent on the web as it allows pages to operate more efficiently and obtain greater customization and analysis of user behavior.

What Types of Cookies Exist?

The cookies used on our website are session and third-party cookies, allowing us to store and access information related to language, the type of browser used, and other general user-predefined characteristics. They also enable us to monitor and analyze user activity to introduce improvements and provide our services more efficiently and personalized.

Cookies, based on their duration, can be divided into session or permanent cookies. Session cookies expire when the user closes the browser, while permanent cookies expire based on when they fulfill their purpose (e.g., keeping the user identified in services) or when manually deleted.

Name Type Expiry Purpose Class
__utma Third-party (Google Analytics) 2 years Used to distinguish users and sessions. Non-Exempt

__utmc Third-party (Google Analytics) End of session Configured for use with Urchin. Non-Exempt
__utmz Third-party (Google Analytics) 6 months Stores the origin or campaign that explains how the user reached the website. Non-Exempt
Additionally, based on their purpose, cookies can be classified as follows:

Performance Cookies
This type of cookie remembers your preferences for tools found in the services, so you don't have to reconfigure the service each time you visit. Examples include volume settings for video or sound players, video streaming speeds compatible with your browser, and items saved in the shopping cart in e-commerce services such as stores.

Geolocation Cookies

These cookies are used to determine the country you are in when requesting a service. This cookie is completely anonymous and is only used to help tailor content to your location.

Registration Cookies
Registration cookies are generated once the user has registered or subsequently opened their session. They are used to identify the user in services with the following objectives:

Keep the user identified so that, if they close a service, the browser, or the computer, and at another time or another day they re-enter that service, they will still be identified, facilitating their navigation without having to re-identify. This functionality can be suppressed if the user clicks the [log out] function, so that this cookie is deleted, and the next time they enter the service, the user will have to log in to be identified.

Check if the user is authorized to access certain services, for example, to participate in a contest.

Additionally, some services may use connectors with social networks such as Facebook or Twitter. When the user registers in a service with credentials from a social network, they authorize the social network to save a persistent cookie that remembers their identity and guarantees access to the services until it expires. The user can delete this cookie and revoke access to services through social networks by updating their preferences on the specific social network.

Analytics Cookies
Each time a user visits a service, a tool from an external provider generates an analytical cookie on the user's computer. This cookie, which is only generated during the visit, will serve in future visits to the services to identify the visitor anonymously. The main objectives are:

Allow the anonymous identification of browsing users through the cookie (identifies browsers and devices, not people) and therefore the approximate counting of the number of visitors and their trend over time. Anonymously identify the most visited contents and therefore the most attractive to users. Know if the accessing user is new or a repeat visitor.

Important: Unless the user decides to register for a service, the cookie will never be associated with any personally identifiable information. Such cookies will only be used for statistical purposes to help optimize the user experience on the site.

Advertising Cookies
This type of cookie allows expanding the information of the ads shown to each anonymous user in services. Among other things, it stores the duration or frequency of display of advertising positions, interaction with them, or user navigation patterns and/or behaviors since they help shape an advertising interest profile. Thus, they allow offering advertising related to the user's interests.

Third-party Advertising Cookies
In addition to the advertising managed by the websites in their services, the websites offer their advertisers the option to serve ads through third parties ("Ad-Servers"). Thus, these third parties can store cookies sent from the services from the users' browsers, as well as access the data stored in them.

The companies that generate these cookies have their own privacy policies. Currently, the websites use the DoubleClick platform (Google) to manage these services. For more information, go to

How Can I Disable Cookies in My Browser?

Different browsers can be configured to notify the user of the receipt of cookies and, if desired, prevent their installation on the computer. Also, the user can review in their browser which cookies are installed and what their expiration date is, being able to delete them.
