What are cookies?

Cookies are files that can be downloaded to your computer through web pages. They are tools that play an essential role providing numerous information society services. They allow, for example, a web page to store and retrieve information about the browsing habits of a user or its equipment, and, depending on the information obtained, cookies can be used to recognize the user and improve the service offered.

Types of cookies

Depending on the entity that manages the domainand processes the data obtained, two types of cookies can be distinguished:

First-party cookies: They 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: They are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain that is not managed by the editor. Another entity processes the data obtained through cookies.

If cookies are installed from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered as proprietary cookies.

There is also a second classification according to the period of time that cookies remain stored in the client’s browser:

Session 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 to keep for the provision of the service requested by the user on one occasion.

Persistent cookies: The data is still stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed during a period defined by the person responsible for the cookie. It can be from a few minutes to several years.

Finally, there is another classification according to the purpose for which the data obtained is processed:

Technical cookies: those that allow the user to navigate through a web page, platform, or application and the use of the different options or services that exist in it. Some examples are: 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, applying for registration or participation in an event, using security elements while browsing, storing content for sharing videos or sound or sharing content through social networks.

Personalization cookies: Allow the user to access the service with some predefined general characteristics, based on some aspects in the user’s terminal, such as the language, the type of browser used, the region from where you access the service, etc.

Analytic cookies: Allows the person responsible for them to monitor and analyze the behaviour of the users. The information collected through this type of cookies is used to measure the activity of websites, applications, or platforms and to create browsing profiles for users of those sites, applications, and platforms. This data is analyzed to introduce improvements.

Advertising cookies: Allow the management of advertising spaces.

Behavioural advertising cookies: They store information about user behaviour, obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits. This allows the development of a specific profile to display advertising.

External social network cookies: They are used so visitors can interact with the content of different social platforms (Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.) They are generated only for the users of those social networks. The conditions of use of these cookies and the information collected is regulated by the privacy policy of the corresponding social platform.
