The use of this type of technology to access Sites is a common practice; it does not harm Users’ equipment (computer, smartphone, tablet, etc.) and different browsers allow each User the possibility to refuse their use and/or delete those that have already been stored.
Cookies play an important role in the operation of various Sites and in accessing different content, allowing us to understand how the Site is being used by its Users and facilitating their navigation in order to ensure a better user experience on the Site.
