Our Cookies Policy

EPSA INTERNATIONAL, S.A., the owner of this website, in compliance with Article 22 of the Law on Information Society Services, informs you that this website uses cookies. By accepting the cookie policy that will appear through the corresponding tab, you expressly consent to the use of the cookies you select in accordance with the terms of this policy.

What are cookies and what are they used for?

Cookies are files downloaded to the user’s device when accessing certain web pages and applications. They allow storing the user’s preferences during their navigation, facilitating the interaction between the user and the website.

The information collected by cookies is anonymous and does not contain any sensitive information, since they do not collect data that can personally identify the user.

In any case, the user can access their browser’s settings to modify and/or block the installation of cookies sent from the website, without this preventing access to the content.

What types of cookies exist, and what is their use?

According to the owner or entity that manages them:

  • First-party cookies: First-party cookies are those generated by the Website itself. In other words, they are sent to the user’s terminal device from a server or domain managed by the website’s owner, and from which the requested service is provided by the user.
  • Third-party cookies: Third-party cookies are those sent to the user’s terminal device from a server or domain not managed by the website’s owner, but by another entity that processes data obtained through cookies.

According to the duration they remain active:

  • Session cookies: These are designed to collect and store data while you access, in this specific case, the website itself. They are only retained during the session, and disappear when it ends.
  • Persistent cookies: These are cookies where data remains stored on the user’s device and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie’s controller, which can range from a few minutes to several years.

According to their purpose:

  • Technical cookies: These are cookies that enable you to navigate through the Website itself and use the different options or services available on it, including those used by the website owner to enable the management and operation of the Website and to enable its functions and services. For example, controlling traffic and data communication, identifying sessions, enabling access to specific areas, registrations, security, facilitating functionalities, and allowing pages to load faster.
  • Functionality cookies: These cookies are used to improve the performance and functionality of the website but are not essential for its use. However, without these cookies, certain functions (e.g., videos) may not be available.
  • Analytics or measurement cookies: These cookies allow us to track and analyse your behaviour. The information collected through this type of cookies is used to measure activity, in this specific case, through the website, in order to count the number of visits, understand user activity, and make improvements based on the analysis of usage data.
  • Preference or customization cookies: These are cookies that allow remembering information so that the user can access the service with certain characteristics that can differentiate their experience from that of other users. For example, language, the number of results to display when the user performs a search, the appearance or content of the service based on the type of browser through which the user accesses the service, or the region from which the user accesses the service, among other functionalities.
  • Behavioural advertising cookies: These cookies store information about user behaviour obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, allowing the development of a specific profile to display advertising based on it.
