The website of the responsible party may use cookies (small pieces of information that the server sends to the computer of the person accessing the page) to perform certain functions that are considered essential for the proper functioning and display of the site. The cookies used on the website are, in any case, temporary with the sole purpose of making their subsequent transmission more efficient and disappear when the user’s session ends. Under no circumstances will cookies be used to collect personal information.

From the client’s website, it is possible to be redirected to content on third-party websites. Since the responsible party cannot always control the content introduced by third parties on their websites, it assumes no responsibility for such content. In any case, the responsible party states that it will immediately remove any content that may contravene national or international laws, morals, or public order, and will promptly remove the redirection to such website, notifying the competent authorities of the content in question.

The responsible party is not responsible for the information and content stored, for example, but not limited to, in the blog, Twitter, Facebook, or any other medium that allows third parties to independently publish content on the website of the responsible party. However, in compliance with the provisions of articles 11 and 16 of the LSSI-CE, the responsible party makes itself available to all users, authorities, and security forces, actively collaborating in the removal or, if applicable, blocking of all content that could affect or contravene national or international laws, the rights of third parties, or morality and public order. If the user considers that there is any content on the website that could be susceptible to this classification, they are requested to notify the website administrator immediately.

This website has been reviewed and tested to work properly. In principle, correct functioning can be guaranteed 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. However, the responsible party does not rule out the possibility of certain programming errors or occurrences of force majeure, natural disasters, strikes, or similar circumstances that may make access to the website impossible.
