Cookies Policy

Cookies or device for storage and retrieval of data and terminal equipment is a file sent by a web page to the user’s browser and which is automatically stored in the user’s terminal so that the web page in question can consult the user’s previous activity and “recognize” them.

Cookies can remember other types of personal information, such as a user’s password, so you do not have to retype it each time you visit the same site, or your preferences regarding the configuration of a web page (language, resolution of screen, among others).

Cookies are essential for the functioning of the Internet, providing innumerable advantages in the provision of interactive services, facilitating navigation and usability of the web. Cookies cannot damage your computer and being activated helps to identify and solve errors.

In short, a cookie is nothing more than a succession of browsing data that is stored on the user’s computer and that web pages detect and recognize to “remember” that browsing.

  • Permanent cookies: A type of cookies in which the data is still stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed during a period defined by the person responsible for the cookie. Generally, they are used to facilitate the different services offered by the webpages.
