Technical cookies, being strictly necessary, are downloaded by default when they allow displaying the platform or providing the service requested by the user.

These cookies are those that allow remembering information so that the user can access the service or platform with certain characteristics that can differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as language, the number of results to show when the user performs a search, the appearance or content of the service based on the type of browser used by the user or the region from which they access the service, etc. Not accepting these Cookies can result in slow page performance or poorly adapted recommendations.
C. Analysis Cookies:
