Cookies Used on This Website
Below, the cookies being used on this portal are identified, along with their type and function:
The Ministry’s website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service developed by Google, which enables the measurement and analysis of web browsing. You may see cookies from this service in your browser. Based on the previous classification, these are first-party, session, and analytics cookies.

Web analytics provides information about the number of users accessing the website, the number of pages viewed, the frequency and repetition of visits, their duration, the browser used, the service provider, the language, the device used, or the city associated with their IP address.

Lastly, a technical cookie called acepta_politica_cookies is downloaded. It is a first-party cookie that manages user consent for the use of cookies on the website, ensuring that users who have accepted them do not see the information banner again at the top of the page.
