In these cases, we provide the privacy notice that specifies the use of the data and the other information required by law. We recommend that you read this notice before providing the data.

Browsing data or metadata: The information technology systems and software procedures used for this website acquire some traces or metadata (considered personal data), during their normal operation, whose transmission is implicit in the use of Internet communication protocols.

This category of data includes: IP addresses, the type of browser used, the operating system, the domain name and addresses of websites from which access or exit has been made, information on the pages visited by users within the site, the time of access, the length of stay on the individual page, the analysis of the internal path and other parameters relating to the user’s operating system and computer environment.
