Type of data processed, purposes and legal basis for processing

Navigation data

The IT systems and software procedures used to operate this website acquire some personal data during their regular operation, the transmission of which is implicit in the use of Internet communication protocols.

This data is used for the sole purpose of obtaining anonymous statistical information on the use of the site and to check its correct operation, and is deleted after processing. The data could be used to ascertain responsibility in the event of hypothetical computer crimes to the detriment of the site.
