What are cookies?

Cookies are files that can be downloaded to your computer through web pages. 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 a user’s browsing habits or their computer and, depending on the information obtained, can be used to recognize the user and improve the service offered.

Types of cookies

Depending on who is managing the domain from where the cookies are sent and processes the data obtained, there are two types:

• First-party cookies: Those that are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided.
• Third-party cookies (Google Analytics and Ads): Used to understand the level of recurrence of visitors and the most interesting content, to improve the most visited areas and facilitate user searches. This information is obtained through statistical calculations on anonymous data. 

Additionally, there are session cookies and persistent cookies:

• Session cookies: Designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a web page. They are typically used to store information that only needs to be preserved for the provision of the service requested by the user on a single occasion (e.g., a list of purchased products).
• Persistent cookies: Data continues to be stored on the terminal and can be accessed and processed over a period defined by the cookie’s controller, which can range from a few minutes to several years.

Finally, there is another classification with six types of cookies according to the purpose for which the data obtained is processed:

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