What are cookies?
A cookie is a file that is downloaded to your computer when you visit certain websites. Cookies enable a website, amongst other things, to store and retrieve information about a user’s browsing habits or those of their device and, depending on the information they contain and how your device is used, they can be used to recognise the user anonymously.
Cookies are associated solely with an anonymous user and their computer and do not provide references that allow the user’s personal data to be deduced.
Registered Users who log in or have logged in may benefit from more personalised services tailored to their profile, thanks to the combination of the data stored in cookies with the personal data provided at the time of registration. Such Users expressly authorise the use of this information for the stated purpose, without prejudice to their right to refuse or disable the use of cookies.
Types, purposes and functioning of cookies in general
1. Types of cookies based on how long they remain active
Depending on how long they remain active on the user’s device, we can distinguish between: Session cookies: These are a type of cookie designed to collect and store data whilst the user is accessing a website. They are usually used to store information that is only relevant for the provision of the service requested by the user on a single occasion (e.g. a list of purchased products). Persistent cookies: These are a type of cookie in which the data remains stored on the device and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie controller, which can range from a few minutes to several years.
2. Types of cookies according to the entity managing them
Depending on the entity managing the device or domain from which the cookies are sent and processing the data obtained, we can distinguish between: First-party cookies: These are sent to the user’s device from a device or domain managed by the publisher itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided. Third-party cookies: These are sent to the user’s terminal device from a computer or domain that is not managed by the publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.
3. Types of cookies according to their purpose
Depending on the purpose for which the data obtained through cookies is processed, we can distinguish between:
- Technical cookies: These are cookies that enable the user to navigate a website, platform or application and use the various options or services available on it, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, remembering the items included in an order, completing the purchase process for an order, submitting a registration or participation request for an event, using security features whilst browsing, storing content for the streaming of videos or audio, or sharing content via social media.
- Personalisation cookies: These are cookies that allow the user to access the service with certain general settings predefined based on a series of criteria on the user’s device, such as the language, the type of browser used to access the service, the regional settings from which the service is accessed, etc.
- Analytics cookies: These are cookies that allow the controller to monitor and analyse the behaviour of users of the websites to which they are linked. The information collected through this type of cookie is used to measure the activity of websites, applications or platforms and to create browsing profiles of users of such sites, applications and platforms, with the aim of making improvements based on the analysis of how users utilise the service.
- Advertising cookies: These enable the most effective management of any advertising spaces that the publisher may have included on a website, app or platform through which the requested service is provided, based on criteria such as the content published or the frequency with which adverts are displayed.
- Behavioural advertising cookies: These are cookies that enable the most effective management of any advertising spaces that the publisher may have included on a website, application or platform from which the requested service is provided. These cookies store information on user behaviour obtained through the continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows a specific profile to be developed in order to display advertising based on that profile.
