2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website operators to make their websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to collect reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Lobato Olondo Marta) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as analytics and measurement.

We use the following categories of cookies on our website:
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly.

6. Local Storage
In addition to traditional cookies, our website may use HTML5 local storage technology. Local storage is similar to cookies in that it stores data on your device, but it has a larger storage capacity and does not expire automatically. We use local storage to remember your cookie consent preference and to support certain website functionalities.
You can clear local storage data through your browser's developer tools or by clearing your browsing data in your browser settings. The same principles regarding consent and control that apply to cookies also apply to our use of local storage.

We do not control the use of third-party cookies and recommend that you review the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party services you interact with through our website.
We do not use third-party cookies for advertising, retargeting, or behavioral profiling purposes.
