Use of cookies

Cookies are files that can be downloaded to your device through 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 device and, depending on the information obtained, they can be used to recognise the user and improve the service offered.

Depending on the entity that manages the domain from which the cookies are sent and that 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 publisher 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 publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the 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 first-party cookies.

There is also a second classification according to the length of time they remain stored in the client's browser, which may be:

Session cookies: Designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website. They are usually used to store information that only needs to be kept 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 remain stored on the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie controller, which may 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 are processed:

Technical cookies: Those that allow the user to browse a website, platform or application and use the different options or services that exist on it, such as, for example, controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, remembering the elements that make up an order, completing the purchase process for an order, making a request for registration or participation in an event, using security elements during browsing, storing content for the dissemination of videos or sound, or sharing content through social networks.

Personalisation cookies: They allow the user to access the service with some general characteristics predefined according to a series of criteria on the user's terminal, such as language, the type of browser through which they access the service, the regional configuration from which they access the service, etc.

Analytics cookies: They allow the controller to track 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 the websites, application or platform and to create browsing profiles of the users of those sites, applications and platforms, in order to introduce improvements based on the analysis of the usage data of users of the service.

Advertising cookies: They allow the management, in the most efficient way possible, of advertising spaces.

Behavioural advertising cookies: They store information on user behaviour obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, which makes it possible to develop a specific profile in order to display advertising based on it.

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