On this website, I collect and use information as indicated in my privacy policy. One of the ways in which I collect information is through the use of a technology called ‘cookies.’ Cookies are used for various purposes.
What is a Cookie?
A “cookie” is a small amount of text that is stored in your browser (such as Google’s Chrome or Apple’s Safari) when you browse most websites.
What is not a Cookie?
It is not a virus, nor a Trojan, nor a worm, nor spam, nor spyware, nor does it open pop-up windows.
What information does a cookie store?
Cookies do not usually store sensitive information about you, such as credit card or banking details, photographs or personal information, etc. The data they store is of a technical, statistical nature, personal preferences, content customization, etc.
The web server does not associate you as a person but with your web browser. In fact, if you usually browse with the Chrome browser and try to browse the same website with the Firefox browser, you will see that the website does not realize that you are the same person because it is actually associating the information with the browser, not with person.
What types of cookies are there?
-
- Technical cookies: These are the most basic cookies and allow, among other things, to know when a human or an automated application is browsing, when an anonymous user and a registered user are navigating, basic tasks for the operation of any dynamic website.

Operation of the cookie banner
If you are a new visitor to the website, you will see a cookie notice.

If you don’t select any of the checkboxes corresponding to the types of cookies that can be loaded and continue browsing without clicking the “Accept” button, some functions may be limited (YouTube, Google Analytics, etc.).
