We also inform you that when visiting this Website, your browser may store technical information on your computer. The use of cookies or IP addresses does not provide any personal information or information about your computer. They are intended solely to help save time when you return to our Website, select the most appropriate style sheet, and ensure that websites are displayed correctly, including the language and character encoding settings of your browser (for example, to ensure that accented characters are displayed properly). They may also help us improve the design of our websites and compile statistics, specifically to determine the number of unique visitors to our Website.
Users who do not wish to store cookies on their computers may configure their browsers accordingly. Most modern browsers allow cookies to be managed in three different ways:
- Cookies are never accepted.
- The browser asks the user whether each cookie should be accepted.
- Cookies are always accepted.
The browser may also offer more detailed options for specifying which cookies should or should not be accepted. In particular, Users can generally choose from the following options: reject cookies from specific domains; reject third-party cookies; accept cookies as non-persistent (deleted when the browser is closed); or allow the server to create cookies for a different domain. Additionally, browsers may allow users to view and delete individual cookies.
In any case, this portal does not use any such information (cookies or IP addresses) that may be recorded for any other purposes or uses.
IV. Use of Digital Certificates and Electronic Signatures.
Digital certification is the only means of technically and legally guaranteeing a person’s identity on the Internet. It is an essential requirement for public institutions to provide secure services over the Internet.
User certificates, such as those issued by the Spanish National Mint and Stamp Factory (RCM-FNMT), among others, contain the following information:
- User identification details: Tax Identification Number (NIF), surname and first name, or registered company name.
- Certificate number.
- Certificate issuance date.
- Certificate expiry date.
- Public key, and
- Digital signature of the issuing entity.
This set of data, together with the private key stored in the browser or web server of the certificate holder, ensures that, when used for digital signature generation and encryption, connections between web browsers and servers maintain the authenticity, confidentiality, integrity and non-repudiation of exchanged messages.
Furthermore, the data contained in the digital certificate is processed solely for the purposes of verifying the validity and ownership of the digital certificate. Such data shall not be processed for any other purposes, nor transferred or disclosed to third parties, except in the cases provided for by law.
V. Intellectual and Industrial Property.
The source code, graphic designs, images, photographs, sounds, animations, software, texts, domain names, trademarks, as well as the information and content provided throughout the Website, are protected under Spanish law for the benefit of this portal.
The use, reproduction, distribution, public communication, transformation or any other similar or equivalent activity involving such materials is strictly prohibited without the express authorisation of those responsible for this portal.
