Cookies

This website uses cookies and other local data storage mechanisms (session or persistent) to provide a better and more personalized user experience for its visitors.

What are cookies?

Cookies (or “connection tokens”) consist of small pieces of data that a website stores in your browser and are sent to the website with each request. They can be:

Origin cookies: stored by the website you are visiting and sent only to it.

• Third-party cookies: websites may use external services that may also tell the browser to store its own cookies.

Depending on their durability, they can be:

Persistent cookies: they are stored on your device and are not automatically deleted when you close the browser, having a variable validity, depending on the cookie.

Session cookies: they are deleted when you close your browser.

What are the other local storage mechanisms?

Persistent local storage (long-term) and session local storage (persists until you close the browser) are mechanisms that allow you to store small data in your browser for use on the website without this data being automatically sent to the server with each request.

Why use cookies and other mechanisms?

The purpose is to allow the website to remember your preferences (user session, language, etc.) over a period of time. This way, you do not have to indicate them again while browsing the site during your visit.

They may also be used to collect statistical data about your browsing experience on our website.

What types of cookies and other local storage mechanisms do we use?

This site mainly uses first-party cookies. However, for statistical purposes and for some embedded content (videos, maps, among others), it uses systems originating from external organizations that may store cookies and other local data storage mechanisms.

To be able to manage your usage options, they are grouped into three categories:

Necessary: They are essential for the website to function. This category includes only what is necessary to ensure basic functionalities and security features of the website.

Performance and analysis (statistics): these are limited to evaluating how the user interacts with our website as an anonymous user (the data collected does not identify you). They are used to help us understand how we can improve the services we provide to those who visit us. However, you can refuse cookies and other local storage mechanisms in this category.

Third-party content: a small number of pages on the website may contain, embedded in the page, video playback systems, maps and other third-party content (YouTube videos, Vimeo videos, Google Maps, among others). As this content comes from third parties, even if some of them do not place any cookies or other local storage mechanisms, as is the case with several of these systems, it is not possible to guarantee that this situation will not change in the future. You can therefore refuse cookies and other local storage mechanisms in this category.

How to manage your options for using these mechanisms?

When accessing this website for the first time, you are asked to indicate your preferences for using cookies and other local storage mechanisms. You can accept the three categories described or you can set your preferences differently.

When managing preferences, you are given more specific information about these mechanisms that can be stored in your browser. In the cases of the “Performance and analysis (statistical)” and “Third party content” categories, you will be asked for your express consent for their use.

Your usage preferences will be valid for 180 days since your last visit, but you can, at any time, change your consent by accessing Settings.

If changes are made to this website that include modifying the set of cookies and other local storage mechanisms used, you will again be asked to define your usage preferences.
