  • Personalisation cookies. Those that allow the user to access the service with some predefined general characteristics based on a series of criteria in the user’s terminal, such as the language, the type of browser through which the service is accessed, the regional configuration from where you access the service, etc.
  • Analysis cookies. Those that allow the person responsible for them to monitor and analyse the behaviours of the users of the website to which they are linked. The information collected through this type of cookie is used to measure the activity of the website, platform or application and to create browsing profiles of the users of said website, platform or application, in order to make improvements based on the analysis of the data on how users use the website.

  • Behavioural advertising cookies. Those that allow the advertising spaces on the website to be managed in the most efficient way. These cookies store information on the behaviour of users obtained through the continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows a specific profile to be developed based on which advertising is displayed.
