Cookies

The navigation system and the software that enables the operation of our website automatically record the data that is normally generated in the use of Internet protocols, among others, the IP address or the domain name of the computer used by the person who viewed the web. This information is not directly associated with specific users and is used for the sole purpose of obtaining statistical information.

Video surveillance

Upon entering our shop we inform of the existence of video surveillance cameras with the approved signage.

They are kept for a maximum period of one month, except should security forces require them.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

How long we keep your data for
