It is possible that at times we will use a technology known as “cookies” for the purpose of providing a series of contents and/or services in a more personalised way. A “cookie” is a small data element that a web site sends to the user’s web browser program.

In turn, this element can be stored on the computer’s hard disc so that it can recognise when it returns to our web site. In any case, there is always the option of the user specifying in the program preferences of the browser that they want notification before accepting any  “cookie”.

The data that will be stored in each “cookie” are as follow: language, date and time of the last time the user visited our web, design of the contents that the user chose in their first visit to our web and security elements which are involved in the control of access to restricted areas.

The cookies used by this web page are:
