What are cookies?
Cookies are files that can be downloaded to your device through web pages. They are tools that play an essential role in the provision of numerous information society services. Among other things, they allow a web page 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 recognize the user and improve the service offered.
Types of cookies
Depending on which entity manages the domain from which the cookies are sent and processes the data obtained, two types can be distinguished:
First-party cookies: Those that are sent to the user’s terminal device 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 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.
In the event that 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:
Session cookies: Designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a web page. They are typically used to store information that is only of interest to preserve for the provision of the service requested by the user on a single occasion (e.g., a list of purchased products).
Persistent cookies: 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.
Finally, there is another classification with six types of cookies according to the purpose for which the obtained data is processed:
Technical cookies: Those that allow the user to browse through a web page, platform or application and to use the various options or services available on it, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access areas, remembering the elements that make up an order, carrying out the purchase process of an order, making the registration request 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.
Personalization cookies: They allow the user to access the service with some general features predefined according to a series of criteria on the user’s device, such as the language, the type of browser used to access the service, the regional configuration from which the service is accessed, etc.
Analytics cookies: They allow the controller to track and analyze the behavior 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 draw up browsing profiles of users of those sites, applications and platforms, in order to introduce improvements based on the analysis of the usage data provided by users of the service.
Advertising cookies: They allow the management, in the most efficient way possible, of advertising spaces.
Behavioral advertising cookies: They store information about the behavior of users obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows a specific profile to be developed in order to display advertising based on that profile.
External social network cookies: They are used so that visitors can interact with the content of different social platforms (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.) and are only generated for users of those social networks. The terms of use of these cookies and the information collected are regulated by the privacy policy of the corresponding social platform.
