On occasions it is possible that we may use a technology known as “cookies” so that we can provide a series of personalised contents and/or services. A “cookie” is a small element of data which a website can send to the user’s web browser programme.

In turn, this element may be stored on the user’s computer’s hard disc in such a way as to allow us to recognise when you return to our website. In any case, the user always has the option of specifying in the browser programme that s/he wishes to receive notice before accepting any “cookie”.

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

From this web site we study the preferences of our users (demographic features, traffic patterns and other information which together allows us to understand the behaviour and profile of our users). Going through our users’ preferences helps us to improve our web page as well as our services.

To do so, we use the Google Analytics system (a tool from Google for measuring web site traffic), which can store cookies in your computer to help us collect data that will only be used for statistical purposes and for studying user behaviour on our web site The information gathered by the cookie (including the IP) is stored and transmitted to the Google servers in the United States. Google will use this data to analyse your activity on our site and produce reports for the purpose of identifying the use you make of the site. Google shall be able to pass this information to third parties when the current legislation makes this necessary. The acceptance of this policy implies the acceptance of Google’s use of the data collected via Google Analytics.
