Cookies Policy
This portal, like most websites on the internet, uses cookies to improve the user’s browsing experience. Cookies personalize the services offered by the website and provide each user with information that may be of interest, depending on how they use this portal. Below, you will find information on what cookies are, the types of cookies used on this portal, how you can disable cookies in your browser, how to specifically block third-party cookies, and what happens if you disable them.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small files that some platforms, such as websites, may install on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or smart TV when you access them. Their functions can be very varied: storing your browsing preferences, collecting statistical information, enabling certain technical functionalities, and storing and retrieving information about the browsing habits or preferences of a user or their device, sometimes to the extent that they can recognize the user.
A cookie is stored on a device to personalize and facilitate the user’s browsing experience. Cookies are associated only with a user and their device and do not provide references that allow personal data to be inferred. Users can configure their browser to notify or block the installation of cookies sent by the website.
Why are they important?
Cookies are useful for several reasons. From a technical perspective, they allow websites to function more smoothly and adapt to user preferences, such as storing language or local currency. Additionally, they help website managers improve the services they offer through the statistical information they gather. Finally, they make advertising more efficient, enabling us to offer services for free.
Cookies can be classified by how long they remain stored: session cookies or persistent cookies. Session cookies expire when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies expire when they have fulfilled their purpose or are deleted manually.
