WHAT ARE COOKIES? | COOKIES ON THIS SITE | CONSENT

Cookies are small text files that websites visited by users send to their terminals, where they are stored to be retransmitted to the same sites upon the next visit. Cookies are used for various purposes, have different characteristics, and can be used by the owner of the site being visited or by third parties.

Below are all the details about cookies installed through this site and the information needed on how to manage your preferences. Current regulations allow us to store cookies on your device if they are strictly necessary for the operation of this website.

EXAMPLES OF SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

Tracking user online navigation can also be done with technologies similar to cookies. Below are some examples.

• Localstorage: This technology is used to optimize navigation, storing data on user preferences (e.g., storing a code that identifies the user’s session after login, avoiding the need to enter a username and password on every profile page access in restricted areas).
• Tracking pixel: Also known as “tracking code” or “monitoring code,” it is a small piece of code released by some systems to be implemented in others to track some user-related data and their browsing or email opening session, entirely transparent to the user. Tracked data can be diverse, such as day and time, geographic location, type of device used for navigation, and, in more complex tracking pixels, monitoring the value spent on a purchase order and other information useful to the marketing departments of companies using them.
• Plugin: It is a program that interacts with another program to expand or extend its original functionalities. The most commonly used plugins are those of social networks, allowing users to, for example, follow a page or social profile with a click, indicate with a click that they liked web content, and share it on their social network profile, etc.
• Widget: It is a graphical user interface component of a program designed to facilitate user interaction with the program itself. The most commonly used widgets are those of social networks, allowing users to easily open social networks in a separate browser window.

These services allow interactions with social networks or other external platforms directly from the pages of a site. Interactions and information acquired by the site are subject to the privacy settings of the third party that created these technologies. For detailed information under Article 13 of the Personal Data Protection Law regarding the use of personal data processed when using these technologies, we invite you to visit the websites of the third-party managers of these technologies.
