Pursuant to Article 22.2 of Law 34/2002 on Information Society Services (LSSI), we inform you that on this website we use data storage and retrieval devices, better known as Cookies.
What are cookies?
Cookies are computer files that websites can install on the visiting computer to obtain guidelines and browsing data that can later be retrieved and processed by the website owner or by third parties in order to provide specific services, analyse the behaviour of the Internet user for the sending of advertising, develop better or new products and services, and so on.

Currently, our use of cookies is restricted. We use cookies to track and analyse visits to our website to find out when they enter the site, which sections or articles are the most visited, how long they stay on our website and from which geographical area they are from. Also, since we use cookies and have to comply with the associated regulation, we use a plugin that installs cookies to find out who has accepted or closed our banner, and will therefore remind them on their next visit – provided they have not deleted their browsing data and cookies.

The lawful basis is your consent, compliance with a contractual relationship and legitimate interest.
