What are cookies?

Cookies are files that can be downloaded to your computer by websites. They are tools that play an essential role in the provision of numerous information society services. Among other things, they allow a website to store and retrieve information about the browsing habits of a user or their equipment and, depending on the information obtained, they can be used to recognize the user and improve the service offered.

Types of cookies

Depending on the entity that manages the domain from which the cookies are sent and processes the data obtained, two types can be distinguished:

• First-party cookies: Those that are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the editor itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided.
• Third-party cookies: Those that are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain that is not managed by the editor, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.

In the event that the cookies are installed from a computer or domain managed by the editor itself but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered as own cookies.

There is also a second classification according to the length of time they remain stored in the client’s browser:

• Session cookies: Designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website. They are usually used to store information that is only interesting to keep for the provision of the service requested by the user on a single occasion (e.g. a list of products purchased).
• Persistent cookies: The data remains stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the party responsible for the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years.

Finally, there is another classification with six types of cookies depending on the purpose for which the data obtained are processed:

• Technical cookies: Those that allow the user to navigate through a website, platform or application and the use of the different options or services that exist in it, such as, for example, controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access parts, remembering the elements that make up an order, carrying out the purchase process of an order, making the application for registration or participation in an event, using security elements during navigation, storing content for the dissemination of videos or sound or sharing content through social networks.
• Personalization cookies: Those that allow the user to access the service with some predefined general characteristics based on a series of criteria on the user’s terminal, such as language, type of browser used to access the service, regional settings from where the service is accessed, etc.
• Analytical cookies: Those that allow the entity responsible for them to track and analyze the behavior of users on the websites to which they are linked. The information collected through this type of cookies is used to measure the activity of the websites, application, or platform and to create browsing profiles of the users of said sites, applications, and platforms, in order to introduce improvements based on the analysis of the usage data made by users of the service.
• Advertising cookies: Those that allow for the most efficient management of advertising spaces.
• Behavioral advertising cookies: Those that store information about users’ behavior obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows for the development of a specific profile to display advertising based on it.
• Cookies from external social networks: These are used so that visitors can interact with the content of different social platforms (Facebook, YouTube, X, LinkedIn, etc..) and are generated only for users of these social networks. The conditions of use of these cookies and the information collected is regulated by the privacy policy of the corresponding social platform.
