What are cookies?

A cookie is a file that is downloaded to your computer when you access certain websites. Cookies allow a website, among other things, to store and retrieve information about a user’s browsing habits or his equipment and, depending on the information they contain and the way he uses his equipment, they can be used to recognize the user.

What are cookies used for and what are they for?

There are several types of cookies available, and they can be used for a number of different purposes. The main ones are:

• Technical cookies: They are those that allow the user to navigate through the website or application and use the different options or services that exist in it. For example, controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access websites, remembering the elements that make up an order, making the request for registration or participation in an event, use safety features while browsing and store content for broadcasting videos or sound.

Also belong to this category, by their technical nature, those cookies that allow the management, in the most efficient way possible, of advertising spaces that, as a design element or “layout” of the service offered to the user, the publisher has included on a website, application or platform based on criteria such as edited content, without collecting information from users for other purposes, such as customizing that advertising content or other content.

• Cookies of preferences or personalization: They are those that allow the user to access the service with some general characteristics predefined in their terminal or that the user himself defines. For example, the language, the type of browser through which you access the service, the selected content design, terminal geolocation and the regional configuration from which the service is accessed.

• Analysis cookies: these are those cookies that, treated well by us or by third parties, allow us to quantify the number of users and thus perform the measurement and statistical analysis of the use made by users of the service. To do this, we analyze the navigation and behavior of a user on the website with the objective to introduce improvements based on the analysis of usage data made by users of the service.

• Behavioural advertising cookies: are those that store information of the behavior of users obtained through the continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows to develop a specific profile to show advertising based on it.

• Depending on their durability they can be:

• Session Cookies: Expires when you close your browser

• Persistent cookies: Their validity can be variable, as the data is still stored in the terminal and can be accessed and treated during a period defined by the person responsible for the cookie. They disappear once they have fulfilled the objective that motivated their installation or when the user proceeds to their manual deletion.

In addition, these cookies may be own or third party. “Own” cookies are used only by the owner of this website. That is, they are sent to the user’s terminal computer from a computer or domain managed by the editor itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided. “Third-party” cookies, on the other hand, are those that are sent to the user’s terminal computer from a computer or domain that is not managed by the publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through cookies. An example of this are the statistical services of Google Analytics and Comscore.
