Occasionally we may use a technology called ‘cookies’ in order for us to provide a range of content and/or services in a personalised way. A ‘cookie’ is a small piece of data that a website can send to the user’s web browser.
In turn, this element can be stored on the hard disk of the user’s computer so that we can recognise him/her when he/she returns to our website. In any case, there is always the possibility for the user to specify in their browser preferences that they wish to receive a warning before accepting any ‘cookie’.
The data that will be stored in each ‘cookie’ are the following: language, date and time of the last time the user visited our website, content design that the user chose on their first visit to our website and security elements involved in controlling access to restricted areas.
From this website we study the preferences of our users (demographic characteristics, their traffic patterns and other information in aggregate to understand the behaviour and profile of our users). Tracking our users’ preferences helps us to improve our site and our services.
To do this, we use the Google Analytics system (Google’s tool for measuring website traffic), which may store cookies on your computer to help us collect information that will be used solely for statistical purposes and to study the behaviour of users of our website. The information collected by the cookie (including the IP address) is stored and transmitted to Google servers in the United States. Google will use this information to compile your activity on our website and to generate reports in order to identify your use of the website.
Google may also provide this information to third parties where required to do so by law. By accepting this policy, you consent to Google’s use of the information collected by Google Analytics.
We also use Google Maps cookies to display geographic locations. These cookies are managed entirely by Google.
You can configure your browser to refuse the storage of cookies on your computer.
