Cookies, what are they?

Cookies are files that can be downloaded to your computer through web pages. They are tools that play an essential role in the provision of many services of the information society. Among others, they allow a website to store and retrieve information about the browsing habits of a user or their equipment and, depending on the information obtained, they can be used to recognize the user and improve the service offered.

Types of Cookies

Depending on the entity that manages the domain from which the cookies are sent and treats 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 processes the data obtained through cookies.

In case the cookies are installed from a computer or domain managed by the editor itself but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered as own cookies.

There is also a second classification according to the time they 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 interesting to keep 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 remains 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.

Finally, there is another classification of five types of cookies according to the purpose for which the data obtained are processed:

• Technical cookies: those that allow the user to navigate through a web page, platform or application and to use the different options or services that exist in it (like traffic control and data communication), to identify the session, to access to restricted access sections, to remember the elements that make up an order, to make the purchase process of an order, to make the registration or participation request in an event, to use security elements during navigation, to store content for the broadcasting of videos or sound or to share content through social networks.
• Customization cookies: allow the user to access the service with some general characteristics predefined according to a series of criteria in the user’s terminal, such as the language, the type of browser through which the service is accessed, the regional configuration from where the service is accessed, etc.
• Analysis cookies: these allow the responsible party to monitor and analyze the behavior of the users of the websites to which they are linked. The information collected through this type of cookies is used to measure the activity of the websites, application or platform and for the elaboration of browsing profiles of the users of these sites, applications and platforms, in order to make improvements based on the analysis of the usage data of the service users.
• Advertising cookies: allow the management, in the most effective way, of advertising spaces.
• Behavioral advertising cookies: store information on user behavior obtained through the continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows the development of a specific profile to display advertising based on it.
• Cookies from external social networks: they are used so that visitors can interact with the content of different social platforms (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.) and are generated only for users of these social networks. The use conditions of these cookies and the information collected is regulated by the privacy policy of the corresponding social platform.
