Cookie Policy:
In this Cookie Policy, you will find information about the use of cookies and similar devices that are installed on the terminals of our customers and users. Occasionally, the use of cookies may be related to the processing of personal data, so we recommend consulting our Privacy Policy, available above, if you wish to obtain information on how we use the personal data of our customers and users, on how to exercise your rights, or on the terminology we use to refer to our Platform (Website or Physical Stores).
What is a Cookie?
A Cookie is a small text file that a website, app, or other platform stores on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or any other similar device, with information about your browsing and use, such as a tag that identifies your device. Cookies are necessary, for example, to facilitate navigation and understand how users interact with the platforms, in order to allow their improvement. They are also very useful for displaying advertising according to user preferences, as well as for other purposes described below. Cookies do not damage your computer or device.
When we refer to "Cookies," we also refer to other similar technologies for installing and/or collecting information on your device (such as flash cookies, web beacons or bugs, pixels, HTML5 [local storage], and SDK technologies for app formats). In addition, the term "Cookies" also applies to the use of fingerprinting techniques, i.e., information matching techniques that help us identify your device. Occasionally, these technologies work alongside cookies that compile and store information, either to provide you with certain functionalities or services on our Platform, or to present you with third-party advertising compatible with your browsing.
This explanation is an overview of what is understood by Cookies, for purely informative purposes. The specific Cookies we use are described in the cookie configuration panel, accessible on our Platform.
What types of Cookies are there?
This section provides an overview of the types of Cookies that can be used in an online environment. Depending on their owner, Cookies can be classified as:
a. First-party Cookies: These are sent to the user's computer or device from equipment or a domain managed by the publisher itself, and from which the platform or service requested by the user is offered.
b. Third-party Cookies: These are sent to the user's computer or device from equipment or a domain that is not managed by the publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through cookies.
Depending on their purpose, Cookies can be classified as: a. Strictly necessary Cookies (technical): These allow the user to navigate through a website, platform, or application and use the different options or services available on them, such as controlling traffic, identifying data or session, accessing restricted access sections or content, remembering the elements of an order, making the purchase process of an order, managing payments, controlling fraud related to service security, using security elements during navigation, requesting registration or participation in an event, storing content for video or sound broadcasting, enabling dynamic content (e.g., loading animation of a text or image), or sharing content through social networks. Technical cookies, being strictly necessary, are automatically downloaded whenever they are necessary to display the platform or provide the service requested by the user.
b. Functionality or personalization Cookies: These are those that allow the storage of information so that the user can access the service or platform with specific characteristics that differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as language, the number of results to display when the user performs a search, the appearance or content of the service depending on the type of browser used or the region from which the user accesses the service, etc. Failure to accept these Cookies may result in slow website performance or poorly adapted recommendations.
c. Analytics Cookies: These are those that allow the quantification of the number of users, the sections visited on the platform, and how they interact with it, in order to carry out the measurement and statistical analysis of the use made by users, with the aim of making improvements, based on the analysis of user data for the platform or service.
d. Behavioral advertising Cookies: These store information about users' behavior, obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, allowing the development of a specific profile to display advertising based on it. These cookies enable the most effective management possible of advertising spaces eventually included by the publisher, directly or in collaboration with third parties.

We also use our Cookies to continuously improve our services and the Platform, as well as to offer you personalized advertising based on your browsing habits.
The information collected in the Cookies also allows us to improve our Platform through estimates about statistical data and patterns of use (number of visits, most visited sections, time of visit, etc.) and to know statistically how users interact with the Platform, with a view to improving our services, adapting the Platform to your individual interests, speeding up searches, etc.
Occasionally, we may use Cookies to obtain information that allows us to present, from our Platform, platforms or any other third-party resources, based on the analysis of your browsing habits (visited products, consulted sections, etc.).

How can I manage the use of Cookies on this Platform?
