Cookies can be classified according to different parameters:

1. Ownership: own cookies and third-party cookies, depending on which entity manages the domain where the cookies are sent from and processes the data obtained.
2. Duration: session cookies and persistent cookies, according to the length of time they remain stored in the user’s terminal.
3. Purpose: technical cookies, personalisation cookies, analysis cookies, advertising cookies, behavioural advertising cookies, according to the purpose for which the data obtained are processed.

• Personalization cookies: are those that allow the user to access the service with some general characteristics predefined in the terminal defined by the user. For example, the language, the type of browser through which you access the service or the selected content design.
• Analytical cookies: are those that, either processed by us or by third parties, allow us to quantify the number of users and thus perform statistical analysis of the use made by users of the service offered. That’s why we analyse your navigation on our website to improve the range of products or services we offer.
• Advertising cookies: are those that allow the management, in the most efficient way possible, of the advertising spaces that, if appropriate, the publisher has included in a website, application or platform from which it provides the service requested based on criteria such as the content edited or the frequency with which ads are displayed.
• Behavioural advertising cookies: are those that allow the management, in the most efficient way possible, of the advertising spaces that, if appropriate, the publisher has included in a website, application or platform from which it provides the service requested. These cookies store information on user behaviour obtained through the continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows a specific profile to be developed to display advertising based on this.
