Cookies Policy

This website, like most websites on the Internet, uses Cookies to improve and optimize the user experience. Below, you will find detailed information about what “Cookies” are, the types used by this website, how you can disable them in your browser, and how to specifically block the installation of third-party Cookies.

WHAT ARE COOKIES AND HOW DOES THE STS WEBSITE USE THEM?

Cookies are files that the website or application you use installs in your browser or on your device (smartphone, tablet, or connected television) during your visit to the pages or application. They serve to store information about your visit. Like most websites on the Internet, the STS web portal uses Cookies to:

Ensure that web pages can function correctly.
Store your preferences, such as the language you have selected or the font size.
Understand your browsing experience.
Collect anonymous statistical information, such as which pages you have viewed or how long you have spent on our media.

The use of Cookies allows us to optimize your browsing experience by adapting the information and services offered to your interests, to provide you with a better experience whenever you visit us. The STS website uses Cookies to function, adapt, and facilitate User navigation to the fullest.

Cookies are associated only with an anonymous user and their computer/device and do not provide references that allow for personal data to be known. At any time, you can access your browser settings to modify and/or block the installation of Cookies sent by the STS website, without preventing access to the content. However, the quality of the service operation may be affected.

Users who complete the registration process or have logged in with their access data can access personalized services tailored to their preferences based on the personal information provided at the time of registration and stored in the Cookie of their browser.

STS email marketing tools use small invisible images for users that are included in the emails. This technology allows us to know if an email has been read or not, on what date, the IP address from which it was viewed, etc. With this information, we conduct statistical and analytical studies on the sending and receiving of emails to improve the services offered to the user and provide information that may be of interest.

WHY ARE COOKIES IMPORTANT?

From a technical standpoint, they allow the website to function more efficiently and adapt to user preferences, such as storing language, country currency, or detecting the access device.
They establish levels of protection and security that prevent or hinder cyberattacks against the website or its users.
They enable media managers to understand statistical data collected in the cookies to improve the quality and experience of their services. They help optimize the advertising we show users, offering ads that best match their interests.

WHAT TYPE OF COOKIES DO WE USE AT STS?

Analytical Cookies: For periodic maintenance purposes and to ensure the best possible service for the user, this website uses “analytical” cookies to collect activity statistics. The information collected will always be anonymous, making it impossible to establish any link between browsing patterns and physical persons. The user can exclude their individual activity through the opt-out systems provided by the suppliers of the analysis systems that use these cookies, such as Google Analytics. This website may use several such systems, and you can consult the complete list in the cookie list at the end of this document. 
Other Internal Use Cookies: Additionally, this website may use various cookies to maintain user sessions between different logins to the private or self-management areas provided. Disabling them typically causes inconvenience to the user in the form of blocked functionalities and are therefore necessary cookies for the operation of this site. Again, you can consult the complete list in the cookie list at the end of this document. 
Cookies Used by Social Networks: Moreover, to the extent that Social Plugins are used, this website may participate in various social networks, such as Facebook, to allow the user to share content of interest with their social circle. The installed cookies and the corresponding social networks can be checked in the cookie list at the end of this document. 
Cookies Used by External Content Plugins: This website may use content display plugins, such as Google Maps to view geographic locations. Their use sometimes implies the sending of certain cookies, which are detailed in the list at the end of the document. Some of these cookies are installed and managed by the providers of these plugins and cannot be accessed by this website. 
Third-Party Cookies for Advertising Personalization: This website may use ad servers and, therefore, cookies linked to them for profiling based on preferences and behavior. If so, they will be detailed in the list at the end of this document and will not be installed if, after being informed upon accessing the site, the user does not accept the cookie policy and thus does not continue browsing.

RELATION AND DESCRIPTION OF COOKIES. LEVELS OF INTRUSION:

The following table outlines the cookies mentioned above, incorporating a “level of intrusion” criterion based on a scale from 1 to 3, where:

Level 1: corresponds to internal use cookies essential for the operation of the website and, therefore, the provision of the service requested by the user, as well as cookies managed by third parties solely to enable the proper functioning of external content plugins and, therefore, necessary for the correct display of this website. 
Level 2: corresponds to anonymous, analytical, internal use cookies necessary for content maintenance and navigation, and exclusively managed by this website.
