What are cookies?
Cookies are files that can be downloaded to your computer through the web pages. They are tools that have an essential role to play in providing many information society services. Among others, they allow a website to store and recover information about the browsing habits of a user or your equipment 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 the entity that manages the domain from which cookies are sent and how the data obtained, two types can be distinguished:
- Own Cookies: Those 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: Those 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 treats data obtained through cookies.
In the event that cookies are installed from a computer or domain managed by the editor himself but the information collected by them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered as their own cookies.
There is also a second classification according to the time period that remains stored in the customer's browser, which may be:
- Session cookies: Designed to collect and store data while the user access a website. They are usually used to store information that is only interested in the provision of the service requested by the user on one occasion (e.g. a list of products acquired).
- Persistent Cookies: The data are still stored in the terminal and can be accessed and treated for a period defined by the cookie manager, which can go 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 treated:
- Technical cookies: Those that allow the user to navigate through a website, platform or application and use the different options or services that exist in it, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access parts, remembering the elements that make up an order, making 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 dissemination of videos or sound, or sharing content through social networks.
- Customization cookies: They allow the user to access the service with some general features predefined according to a number of criteria in the user terminal such as the language, the type of browser through which they access the service, the regional configuration from which they access the service, etc.
- Analytical cookies: They allow the person responsible for them to monitor and analyse the behaviour of the users of the websites to which they are linked. The information collected through this type of cookies is used in the measurement of the activity of the websites, application or platform and for the development of navigation profiles of the users of such sites, applications and platforms, in order to improve the analysis of the use data made by the users of the service.
- Advertising Cookies: They allow the most effective management of advertising spaces.
- Cookies de publicidad comportamental: Almacenan información del comportamiento de los usuarios obtenida a través de la observación continuada de sus hábitos de navegación, lo que permite desarrollar un perfil específico para mostrar publicidad en función del mismo.
- Cookies de redes sociales externas: Se utilizan para que los visitantes puedan interactuar con el contenido de diferentes plataformas sociales (facebook, youtube, twitter, linkedIn, etc..) y que se generen únicamente para los usuarios de dichas redes sociales. Las condiciones de utilización de estas cookies y la información recopilada se regula por la política de privacidad de la plataforma social correspondiente.
