What are cookies?
Cookies are a set of data that a server deposits in the user’s browser to collect standard Internet log information and visitor behavior information on a website. That is, they are small text files that are stored on the computer’s hard drive and serve to identify the user when they reconnect to the website. Their purpose is to record the user’s visit and save certain information. Their use is common and frequent on the web as it allows pages to function more efficiently and achieve greater customization and analysis of user behavior.What types of cookies are there?
The cookies used on our website are session and third-party cookies, and they allow us to store and access information related to language, the type of browser used, and other general characteristics predefined by the user, as well as to follow and analyze the activity carried out, in order to introduce improvements and provide our services in a more efficient and personalized way.Cookies, depending on their permanence, can be divided into session or permanent cookies. Those that expire when the user closes the browser. Those that expire depending on when the objective for which they serve is fulfilled (for example, so that the user remains identified in ITC services) or when they are manually deleted.

Additionally, depending on their purpose, cookies can be classified as follows:
Performance Cookies
This type of Cookie remembers your preferences for the tools found in the services, so you do not have to reconfigure the service each time you visit. As an example, this typology includes: Volume settings of video or sound players. Video transmission speeds that are compatible with your browser. Items saved in the “shopping cart” in e-commerce services such as stores.Geo-location Cookies
These cookies are used to find out in which country you are when a service is requested. This cookie is completely anonymous, and is only used to help orient the content to your location.Registration Cookies
Registration cookies are generated once the user has registered or later opened their session, and are used to identify you in the services with the following objectives: To keep the user identified so that, if they close a service, the browser or the computer and at another time or another day they return to enter that service, they will continue to be identified, thus facilitating their browsing without having to re-identify. This functionality can be suppressed if the user presses the logout feature, so this cookie is deleted and the next time they enter the service, the user will have to log in to be identified. Check if the user is authorized to access certain services, for example, to participate in a contest. Additionally, some services may use connectors with social networks such as Facebook or Twitter. When the user registers in a service with credentials from a social network, they authorize the social network to save a persistent Cookie that remembers their identity and guarantees them access to the services until it expires. The user can delete this Cookie and revoke access to the services through social networks by updating their preferences in the specific social network.Analytics Cookies
Each time a user visits a service, a tool from an external provider generates an analytical cookie on the user’s computer. This cookie that is only generated during the visit, will serve in subsequent visits to ITC’s services to identify the visitor anonymously. The main objectives pursued are:
To allow the anonymous identification of navigating users through the cookie (identifies browsers and devices, not people) and therefore the approximate counting of the number of visitors and their trend over time. To identify anonymously the most visited and therefore most attractive content for users. Know whether the user who is accessing is new or repeats visit.Important: Unless the user decides to register for an ITC service, the cookie will never be associated with any personal data that can identify them. These cookies will only be used for statistical purposes that help to optimize the user experience on the site.
Advertising Cookies

Among others, the duration or frequency of viewing advertising positions, interaction with them, or user navigation patterns and/or behaviors are stored as they help to form a profile of advertising interest. In this way, they allow offering advertising related to the interests of the user.
