What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website, when visited, places on the user's computer or mobile device via the web browser. Placing cookies will help the website recognize your device on a future visit. We use the term cookies in this policy to refer to all files that collect information in this way.
The cookies used do not collect information that identifies the user. However, if you are already a customer of ours, we can monitor your visits to the site provided that, at least once, you have started browsing from a communication sent by us, for example via the portal.
Cookies also collect generic information, such as how users arrive at and use the sites or the area of the country/countries through which they access the site, etc.
Cookies only retain information related to your preferences.
At any time, the user can, through their browser, decide to be notified of the reception of cookies, as well as block their entry into their system.
Refusing to use cookies on the site may result in you being unable to access some of its areas or receive personalized information.

Cookies are used to help determine the usefulness, interest and number of uses of websites, enabling faster and more efficient browsing and eliminating the need to repeatedly enter the same information.
What types of cookies can be used?
We use cookies with different functions:
3.1 Permanent cookies - They are stored in the browser on your access devices (computer, notebook, mobile and tablet) and are used whenever the user visits one of our websites again. They are generally used to direct browsing according to the user's interests, allowing us to provide a more personalized service.
3.2 Session cookies - These are temporary cookies that remain in your browser's cookie file until you leave the website. The information obtained allows us to analyze web traffic patterns, identify problems and provide a better browsing experience.
Functionality cookies - We use functionality cookies to allow us to remember user preferences. For example, cookies avoid typing the user's name each time they access the site. We also use functionality cookies to provide advanced services to the user, such as commenting on an article. In short, functionality cookies save the user's preferences regarding the use of the site, so that it is not necessary to configure the site again each time they visit it.

This allows us to provide a high-quality experience by customizing our offer and quickly identifying and correcting any problems that arise. For example, we use performance cookies to find out which pages are most popular, which method of linking between pages is most effective, or to determine why some pages are receiving error messages. Based on site usage, we may also use these cookies to highlight articles or services on the site that we think may be of interest to users. These cookies are only used for statistical creation and analysis purposes, without ever collecting personal information.

After authorizing the use of cookies, the user can always deactivate some or all of our cookies.
All browsers allow the user to accept, refuse or delete cookies, namely by selecting the appropriate settings in their browser. You can configure cookies in the "options" or "preferences" menu of your browser.
Please note that disabling cookies may prevent some web services from working properly, affecting, partially or totally, navigation on the website. We remind you that by disabling cookies, parts of our website may not function properly.
What about other tracking technologies?
In addition to cookies, we and our partners may also use other technologies, including data stored on your browser or device, identifiers associated with your device and other software that have similar purposes to cookies. These technologies include:
6.1 IP addresses - is a unique address that identifies a device on the Internet or on a local network. IP stands for "Internet Protocol", which consists of a set of rules governing the format of data sent over the Internet or a local network.
Basically, the IP address is the identifier that allows information to be sent between devices on a network: it contains the location information and makes the device accessible for communication. The Internet needs a way to distinguish between different computers, routers and websites. The IP address provides this, as well as being an essential part of how the Internet works.
6.2 Pixel tags - Also known as clear Gifs, web beacons or pixels, they are small blocks of code on a web page that allow them to perform actions such as reading and storing cookies and transmitting information to our partners.
The resulting connection can include information such as the IP address of a device, the time a person viewed the pixel, an identifier associated with the browser or device and the type of browser in use.
6.3 Software development kits - Software development kits (also called SDKs) work like pixels and cookies, but they operate in the context of the mobile application, in which pixels and cookies don't always work.
Pieces of code (the SDK) are installed in the app, allowing us and our partners to collect certain information about your interaction with the app and about your device and network.
