Cookie Policy

This is an English translation provided for information purposes. The Spanish version of this policy is the legally binding one and prevails in the event of any discrepancy: Política de cookies.

Accessing this Website may involve the use of cookies. Cookies are small amounts of information stored in the browser used by each User — on the various devices they may use to browse — so that the server can remember certain information that will later be read solely by the server that set it. Cookies make browsing easier and more user-friendly, and do not damage the browsing device.

Cookies are automatic procedures for collecting information about the preferences a User expresses during their visit to the Website, in order to recognise them as a User and personalise their experience and use of the Website. They can also, for example, help identify and resolve errors.

The information collected through cookies may include the date and time of visits to the Website, the pages viewed, the time spent on the Website and the sites visited immediately before and after it. However, no cookie allows anyone to contact the User’s telephone number or any other personal means of contact. No cookie can extract information from the User’s hard drive or steal personal information. The only way for the User’s private information to form part of a cookie file is for the user to personally give that information to the server.

Cookies that make it possible to identify a person are considered personal data. The Privacy Policy described above therefore applies to them. In this respect, the User’s consent is required for their use. That consent will be given on the basis of a genuine choice, expressed through an affirmative and positive action, before any initial processing, and it will be revocable and documented.

First-party cookies

These are cookies sent to the User’s computer or device and managed exclusively by JRC WEB for the proper functioning of the Website. The information collected is used to improve the quality of the Website and its Content and the User’s experience. These cookies make it possible to recognise the User as a returning visitor to the Website and to adapt the content to their preferences.

Third-party cookies

These are cookies used and managed by external entities that provide JRC WEB with services requested by us to improve the Website and the user’s browsing experience. The main purposes for which third-party cookies are used are obtaining access statistics and analysing browsing information, that is, how the User interacts with the Website.

The information obtained relates, for example, to the number of pages visited, the language, the location of the IP address from which the User connects, the number of Users who visit, the frequency and repetition of visits, the duration of the visit, the browser used, and the operator or type of device from which the visit is made. This information is used to improve the Website and to detect new needs so we can offer Users Content and services of the highest quality. In all cases, the information is collected anonymously and Website trend reports are produced without identifying individual users.

You can obtain more information about cookies, information on privacy, or consult the description of the type of cookies used, their main characteristics, expiry period and so on, at the following link(s):

The entity or entities responsible for supplying cookies may transfer this information to third parties, provided this is required by law or where a third party processes this information on their behalf.

Social media cookies

JRC WEB includes social media plugins that allow those networks to be accessed from the Website. For this reason, social media cookies may be stored in the User’s browser. The owners of those social networks have their own data protection and cookie policies and are, in each case, responsible for their own files and their own privacy practices. The User should refer to those policies for information about those cookies and, where applicable, about the processing of their personal data. For information purposes only, the links where those privacy and/or cookie policies can be consulted are given below:

Disabling, refusing and deleting cookies

The User can disable, refuse and delete the cookies installed on their device — in whole or in part — through their browser settings (including, for example, Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge). The procedures for refusing and deleting cookies may differ from one browser to another, so the User should follow the instructions provided by the browser they are using. If the User refuses the use of cookies — in whole or in part — they may continue to use the Website, although the use of some of its features may be limited.
