Justification

The interest for society is unquestionable if we attend to the transformation that technology is producing in all sectors, giving rise to an interconnected society where social networks connect both people and companies through different mobile devices, causing digitization of all aspects of human activity, including the purchase and consumption of products. Specifically, in Spain it is found that the weight of electronic commerce or e-commerce is increasing. Thus, according to the latest report from the National Competition Markets Commission (CNMC) available on its website: http://www.cnmc.es/ 1, electronic commerce increased its turnover, only in the second quarter of 2016, 20.3% year-on-year (5,948 million euros), and 33.4% if we look at the number of transactions (92 million transactions carried out).
