However, we remind you that you have the right to oppose the processing of your personal data, and this can be done by any of the means described in this Policy. The grounds for sending commercial communications to users that are not clients is on the basis of their express consent, which can be revoked at any moment.

• In certain circumstances and for reasons related to their particular situation, interested parties may oppose the processing of their data. If you have issued consent for any specific purpose, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any moment, without that withdrawal affecting the legality of the processing based on the consent prior to its withdrawal.

• All the rights mentioned can be exercised by way of the means of contact appearing in the “Data controller” section of the Privacy Policy.

COOKIE POLICY

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a harmless file stored on your computer when you browse certain websites. Cookies allow a website to, among other things, store and retrieve information about a user’s browsing habits or their system, depending on the information they contain and the way the system is used.

Therefore, there are cookies that obtain information about the number of web pages visited, the city assigned to the IP address from which you access, the number of new users, the frequency and repetition of visits, the length of the visit, the browser, the operator or the type of terminal used to perform the visit.

What is a cookie NOT?

A cookie is not a virus, or a Trojan, or a worm, spam, or spyware. Nor does it open pop-up windows.

What information do cookies store?

Cookies do not usually store sensitive information about you, such as credit card or bank details, photographs, your ID number or personal data, etc. The data stored by cookies is technical data, personal preferences, customisation of content, etc.

The web server does not link to you as a person, but rather to your web browser. In fact, if you usually browse with Internet Explorer and then try to browse the same website with Firefox or Chrome you will see that the website doesn’t recognise you as the same person because in reality it is linking to the browser, not the person.

What happens if I deactivate cookies?

So that you have a clear understanding of what can happen if you deactivate cookies, here are some examples:

• You won’t be able to share the content of this website on Facebook, Twitter or any other social network.

• You will not be able to access the personal area of the website, such as My account or My profile or My orders.
• Online shops: You will not be able to make purchases online. These will need to be done by telephone, or by visiting a physical shop if there is one available.
• You will not be able to personalise your geographical preferences such as time zone, currency or language.
• The website will not be able to analyse visitors or website traffic, which will make it difficult for the website to be competitive.
• You will not be able to write in the blog, upload photos, post comments, rate or review contents. The website will not know if you are human or an automatic application that publishes spam.
• It will not be able to show sector-based marketing, which will reduce advertising income on the website.
• All social networks use cookies. If you deactivate them you will not be able to use any social network.

What types of cookie are there?

1. The different types of cookie depend on the entity that manages the device or the domain from which the cookies are sent and the data obtained is processed. These can be:

• First-party cookies: Sent to the user’s terminal from a device or domain managed by the editor providing the service requested by the user.
• Third-party cookies: Sent to the user’s terminal from a device or domain not managed by the editor, but by another entity processing the cookie-based data.

Where cookies are installed from a device or domain managed by the editor but the information gathered by these is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered first-party cookies.
