A cookie is a small piece of information sent by a website and stored in the user’s browser, allowing the website to track the user’s previous activity. The application we use to obtain and analyze browsing information is Google Analytics: www.google.com/analytics/ and https://www.google.com/intl/en/analytics/privacyoverview.html

This application has been developed by Google, which provides us with the service of analyzing the audience of our page. This company may use this data to improve its own services and to offer services to other companies. You can learn more about these other uses from the links provided.

This tool does not obtain data such as users’ names, surnames, or postal addresses from which they connect. The information it gathers is related, for example, to the number of pages visited, language settings, social networks where our news is shared, the city associated with the IP address used by users to access the site, the number of users visiting us, visit frequency and recurrence, visit duration, the browser used, and the type of device or operating system used for the visit.

We use this information to improve our website, identify new needs, and evaluate enhancements to introduce in order to provide better service to our visitors.

The cookies used on this site are:

OWN COOKIES:

Session Cookie: This is a cookie generated automatically by our website with a unique and random name composed of numbers and letters. It is used to distinguish users.

“PHPSESSID” Cookie: This cookie is automatically generated by the Apache server that executes the necessary PHP code for the proper functioning of the website. It stores data needed to distinguish different connections to the web.

“addcookies” Cookie: This cookie is generated when the cookie terms are accepted. It is used so that once the terms are accepted, the message does not reappear, thereby preventing any inconvenience in viewing the website.

THIRD-PARTY COOKIES:

Cookie “_utma”: This cookie belongs to Google Analytics. It generates a unique user ID and records the date, first visit, and last visit time of the user to the website. It is used to track how many times a unique user visits the site. It expires 2 years after the last update.

Cookie “_utmb”: This cookie belongs to Google Analytics. It records the time of arrival on the page and expires 30 minutes after the last recorded page view. It is automatically deleted when switching websites or closing the browser. If a user remains inactive on a website for more than 30 minutes (e.g., goes to lunch) and then requests a page, it will be counted as a new user session (1 unique user making 2 visits). It expires 30 minutes after the last update.

Cookie “_utmc”: This cookie belongs to Google Analytics. The current JavaScript code used by Google Analytics does not require this cookie. Previously, this cookie was used with the _utmb cookie to determine whether or not to establish a new session for the user after more than 30 minutes on the same page. This cookie is still written to ensure compatibility with websites where the old urchin.js tracking code is installed.

Cookie “_utmz”: This cookie belongs to Google Analytics. It stores information about the traffic source or campaign that explains how the user reached the site. This can be through direct traffic, a referring link from another website, a link in an email, certain keywords entered into a search engine, through a display advertising campaign, or via an AdWords advertisement. This cookie is used to calculate traffic coming from search engines (both organic and PPC), display advertising campaigns, and user navigation within the same website (internal links). The cookie is updated with each visit to the website and expires after 6 months.

Cookie “_utmv”: This cookie belongs to Google Analytics. It is optional and is only used when segmenting demographic data such as gender or age of visitors based on registration data. This information is obtained through the _setVar() method in Google Analytics code. It expires 2 years after the last update.
