Purpose of the cookies that may be installed
As mentioned above, there are different types of cookies for different types of use. As such, the Applications may install the following cookies in a user’s browser:
- Strictly necessary cookies or technical cookies: These types of cookies are necessary for the adequate operation of the Applications. For instance, strictly necessary cookies will allow you to connect to secure areas of the Applications or to effectively process payment for subscriptions and/or fees.
- Analytical cookies: These types of cookies allow its owner to track and analyse the behaviour of users within the websites, including quantifying the number of users, or the impact of ads, among others. The information collected through this type of cookie is used in the measurement of the activity of the Applications in order to introduce improvements based on the analysis of the usage data.
- Preference or personalization cookies: These types of cookies allow the Applications to remember information and thus differentiate between different users. The information that may be remembered can amount to language, the number of results to be shown when the user performs a search, appearance or contents of the service or the region from which the user accesses the service.

According to the retention period of the cookies installed in a user’s browser, an Application may install:

Social Media
If you share our content through social media, for example by liking us on Facebook, following or posting about us on X, those social networks will record that you have done so and may set a cookie for this purpose.
In some cases, where a page on our Applications includes content from a social network, such as a X feed, or Facebook comments box, those services may set a cookie even where you do not click a button. As is the case for all cookies, we cannot access those set by social networks, just as those social networks cannot access cookies we set ourselves.
Log Files
Our systems automatically gather some anonymous information about visitors, including IP addresses, browser type, language, and the times and dates of webpage visits. The data collected does not include personally identifiable information and is used, as described above, for statistical analysis, to understand user behaviour, and to administer the site.

Our Applications use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). The information generated by the cookie about your use of our Applications (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of our Applications, compiling reports on the Applications activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. Further information about Google’s privacy policy may be obtained from http://www.google.com/privacy.html.
The internet is not a secure medium. However, we take reasonable technical and organisational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal information.
We have put in place various security procedures as set out in this policy. For example, our security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary and only authorised personnel have access to user information. We use secure server software (SSL) to encrypt financial information you input before it is sent to us, and our database is hosted in a secure data centre. Whilst we cannot ensure or guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration of data will not occur, we use our best efforts to prevent this.
We may make changes to this privacy policy from time to time. If we change our privacy policy we will post the changes on this page. If the change in our privacy policy affects the use of your personal information we will use our best endeavours to contact you by email to seek your consent to the use. Continued use of the service will signify that you agree to any such changes.
