Does the use of cookies affect the protection of my personal data?

Likewise, this information will also be incorporated into the files of the companies that provide the third-party cookies indicated in this document, being treated with the purposes indicated in their respective privacy policies, linked from this document.
The legal basis that legitimates these treatments is the consent of the User, provided implicitly through its navigation on the BMG website; however, the User may refuse the use of cookies through the mechanisms indicated on the BMG Website and in this Policy.
