Sometimes, the use of cookies may be related to the processing of personal data, so we recommend that you consult our Privacy Policy, accessible on our Platform, if you want information about how we use the personal data of our clients and users, how to exercise your rights, or the terminology we use to refer to our Platform (Website, App or Physical Stores).
INFORMATION ABOUT COOKIES
1. What is a Cookie?
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, containing information about your browsing or use, such as a tag that identifies your device. Cookies are necessary, for example, to facilitate navigation and to understand how users interact with the platforms, so that they can be improved. They are also very useful for offering advertising according to the user’s preferences, as well as for other purposes detailed below. Cookies do not harm your computer or device.
When we talk about “Cookies” we also refer to other 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). Likewise, the term “Cookies” also applies to the use of fingerprinting techniques, that is, those techniques for combining information that help us identify your device. Sometimes, these technologies work together with cookies to collect and store information, either to provide you with certain features or services on our Platform, or to show you advertising on third-party platforms, taking into account your browsing.
This explanation is a general overview of what is meant by Cookies for informational purposes only. The Cookies we use specifically are detailed in the cookie configuration panel accessible on our Platform.
2. What types of Cookies exist?
Please review this section which provides an overview of the types of Cookies that may be used in an online environment.
Depending on the owner of the Cookies, they can be classified as:
- Own cookies: These are those that are sent to the user’s computer or device from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself, and from which the platform or service requested by the user is offered.
- Third-party cookies: These are sent to the user’s computer or device from a computer or domain that is not managed by the publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.
Depending on the purpose of the Cookie, they can be classified as:
- Strictly necessary (technical) cookies: These are cookies that allow the user to navigate through a website, platform or application and use the different options or services that exist therein, such as, for example, controlling traffic, identifying data or the session, accessing restricted sections or content, remembering the elements that make up an order, carrying out the purchase process of an order, managing payment, controlling fraud linked to the security of the service, using security elements during navigation, making the request for registration or participation in an event, storing content for the dissemination of videos or sound, enabling dynamic content (for example, animation for loading a text or image) or sharing content through social networks. Technical cookies, being strictly necessary, are downloaded by default when they allow the platform to be displayed or the service requested by the user to be provided.
- Functionality or personalization cookies : These cookies are those that allow information to be remembered so that the user accesses the service or platform with certain characteristics that can differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as, for example, the language, the number of results to display 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 website performance or poorly adapted recommendations.
- Analysis cookies: These are used to quantify the number of users, the sections visited on the platform and how they interact with it, in order to measure and analyse the use made by users, in order to introduce improvements based on the analysis of the data on the use made by users of the platform or service.
- Behavioural advertising cookies : These cookies store information on user behaviour obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows the development of a specific profile to display advertising based on this behaviour. These cookies allow the management, in the most efficient way possible, of the advertising spaces that, where appropriate, the publisher has included directly or in collaboration with third parties.
3. What are Cookies used for on our Platform?
Cookies are an essential part of how our Platform works. The main purpose of our Cookies is to make your browsing experience more comfortable and efficient.

We also use our Cookies to continually improve our services and Platform, as well as to be able to offer personalized advertising based on your browsing habits.
The information collected in the Cookies also allows us to improve our Platform by estimating statistical data and usage patterns (number of visits, most visited sections, visit time, etc.), to statistically understand how users interact with the Platform in order to improve our services, as well as to adapt the Platform to your individual interests, speed up searches, etc.
Occasionally, we may use Cookies to obtain information that allows us to display advertising based on the analysis of your browsing habits (products visited, sections consulted, etc.) from our Platform, third-party platforms, or by any other means.
In any case, we never store sensitive information such as passwords, credit or debit card data, etc. in the Cookies we use.
