Cookies are small files that are installed on the hard disk or in the browser of the computer, tablet, smartphone or equivalent device with internet browsing functions and help to, among other things: personalise the services of the website owner, facilitate browsing and usability through the website, obtain aggregate information on website visitors, enable the playing and display of multimedia content on the website itself, enable interaction elements between the user and the website itself, enable security tools, etc.
Depending on the entity that manages them:
Own cookies: these are cookies 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: these are cookies 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.
Depending on the length of time they remain activated on the terminal equipment:
Session cookies: these are cookies designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a web page. They are usually used to store information that is only of interest for the provision of the service requested by the user on a single occasion (for example, a list of products purchased) and they disappear at the end of the session.
Persistent cookies: these are cookies in which the data remain 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.
Depending on the purpose for which the data obtained through the cookies are processed:
Technical cookies: those that allow the user to browse a website, platform or application and use the different options or services available in it, including those that the editor uses to allow the management and operation of the website and enable its functions and services, such as, for example, to control traffic and data communication, to identify the session, to access restricted-access areas, to remember the items included in an order, to carry out the purchasing process of an order, to manage payment, to control fraud linked to the security of the service, to make the application for registration or participation in an event, to count visits for the purposes of billing licenses of the software with which the service works (website, platform or application), to use security features while browsing, to store content for broadcasting videos or sound, to enable dynamic content (for example, animation of loading a text or image) or to share content through social networks. Also belonging to this category, due to their technical nature, are cookies that allow the management, in the most efficient way possible, of the advertising spaces that, as another element of design or “layout” of the service offered to the user, the editor has included on a website, application or platform based on criteria such as the edited content, without collecting information from users for other purposes, such as personalising that advertising content or other content.
Preference or personalisation cookies: these are cookies that allow information to be remembered so that the user can access the service with certain characteristics that can differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as, for example, the language, the number of results to be shown when the user performs a search, the appearance or content of the service depending on the type of browser through which the user accesses the service or the region from which they access the service, etc.
Analysis or measurement cookies: these are cookies that allow the party responsible for them to monitor and analyse the behaviour of the users of the websites to which they are linked, including the quantification of the impact of advertisements. The information collected through this type of cookie is used to measure the activity of the websites, application or platform, in order to make improvements based on the analysis of the usage data of the service users.
Advertising cookies: cookies that allow the management, in the most effective way possible, of the advertising spaces that, where appropriate, the editor has included on a website, application or platform from which the requested service is provided based on criteria such as the edited content or the frequency at which the advertisements are shown.
Behavioural advertising cookies: cookies that allow the management, in the most effective way possible, of the advertising spaces that, where appropriate, the publisher has included on a website, application or platform from which the requested service is provided. These cookies store information on the behaviour of users obtained through the continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows a specific profile to be developed in order to display advertising based on the same.
These cookies are not used to create profiles of the users who browse the website and, therefore, no automated decisions are taken based on this data.
