What are cookies?

Cookies are files that can be downloaded to your system via webpages. They play a key role in providing a range of information society services. Among other functions, they allow a website to store and retrieve information about the browsing habits of a user or of his/her system, and then use this information to recognise the user and improve the service offered.

Types of cookies

Two types of cookies are distinguished, in accordance with the entity managing the domain sending the cookies and processing the data:

• First-party cookies: Those which are sent to the user’s terminal system from a system or domain managed by the editor itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided.
• Third-party cookies: Those which are sent to the user’s terminal from a system or domain that is not managed by the editor but rather by an entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.

Cookies installed from a system or domain managed by the editor in which the information collected is managed by a third party cannot be considered first-party cookies.

 

There is also a second classification according to the length of time the cookies remain stored in the customer’s browser, in which case they may be:

• Session cookies: Designed to collect and store data while the user visits a website. They are usually used to store information which is only kept to provide a service requested by the user on a single occasion (e.g. a list of products purchased).
• Persistent cookies: The data remain on the terminal and can be accessed and processed during a defined period of time by the party responsible for the cookie, which may be from a few minutes to several years.

Finally, there is another classification with six types of cookies according to the purpose of the data processing:

• • Technical cookies: Those which allow users to browse a website, platform or application and use the different options or services they include, such as controlling traffic and data communication, logging in, accessing restricted areas, remembering items in an order, completing the purchase process for an order, registering for or taking part in an event, using security elements while browsing, storing content for the dissemination of audio or video, or sharing content on social media.
• Customisation cookies: Those which allow the user to access the service with some preset general features in accordance with a series of criteria on the user terminal, such as language, type of browser accessing the service, regional settings, etc.
• Analysis cookies: Allow the owner to monitor and analyse the behaviour of users of the websites they are linked to. The information collected through this type of cookie is used to measure the activity of the websites, application or platform and to draw up user browsing profiles for these websites, applications and platforms, in order to introduce improvements based on the analysis of usage data of service users.
• Advertising cookies: Allow advertising spaces to be managed in the most efficient way possible.
• Behavioural advertising cookies: Store information on user behaviour as obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, allowing a specific profile to be stored in order to show advertising.
• External social media cookies: Used so visitors can interact with the content of different social platforms (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.), and are generated only for users of these social media. The conditions of use of these cookies and the information collected is regulated by the privacy policy of the social media platform in question.
