Cookie Policy
INFORMATION ABOUT COOKIES
Due to the implementation of the amendment to the “Law on Information Society Services” (LSSICE), established by Royal Decree 13/2012, it is mandatory to obtain the explicit consent of users from all websites that use non-essential cookies before they browse through them.
“Cookies” allow service providers related to the Internet to store and retrieve data about users stored on their devices.
When Internet-related service providers use cookies, they must obtain user consent after users have been clearly and fully informed about their usage and purpose (particularly regarding the purposes of data processing, according to both Organic Law 15/1999, of December 13, on the Protection of Personal Data, and Regulation (EU) 2016/679 – GDPR).
Where technically possible and effective, the recipient’s consent to accept data processing can be facilitated through the configuration of the Internet browser (or other application) being used.
The above will not prevent technical storage or access solely for the purpose of transmitting a communication over an electronic communications network or, as far as strictly necessary, for the provision of an information society service explicitly requested by the recipient. E.g., authentication cookies to identify the user once logged in, or the shopping cart on a website where we store selected items before proceeding to final payment.
WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are tools used on websites to ensure proper functionality and to store and retrieve information about visitors.
Through the use of these tools, the web server can remember certain data relating to the user, such as preferences for page display, names, passwords, products of interest, shopping carts, etc.

Their use is essential to improve the user experience, store preferences, enable customized features, and collect analytical data on behavior within the website, always complying with current data protection regulations.
Third-Party Cookies:
On some websites, third-party cookies may be installed to manage and improve services offered. For example, statistical services like Google Analytics and Comscore.
