Cookies enable us to gain insights into how users interact with our website, allowing us to tailor and improve our services and functionalities to better meet their needs and preferences.

6. STORAGE DURATION OF COOKIES
The cookies used on our website have different retention periods depending on their purpose. Necessary cookies, which are essential for the basic operation of the site, are stored only for the time necessary to provide the services requested, such as secure access to restricted areas or user authentication. These cookies cannot be disabled, as without them the website would not function properly.
Functionality cookies, which allow us to remember your preferences, such as language or personalized site settings, may have a variable duration. Some of these cookies may be session cookies, meaning that they are deleted when you close your browser, while others may be stored for longer periods, up to several years, to provide a smooth and consistent user experience on repeat visits.
Analytical cookies allow us to track activity on the website to improve its performance and the user experience. These cookies are kept for a maximum of 24 months before being automatically deleted. You can manage or delete these cookies at any time through your browser settings. However, by disabling or deleting these cookies, some functionality of the site may be limited, which could affect your browsing experience.
In addition, there are cookies that can be classified in the ‘other’ category, which include those that do not fit directly into the above categories but are used for other specific purposes, such as improving security or analyzing the more detailed use of the website. These cookies have different durations and, like analytics cookies, can be managed or deleted at the user's discretion through browser settings.
Please note that deleting or rejecting cookies may adversely affect the functionality of the site and may limit some features, impacting the overall experience when interacting with our website.
