WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies and other similar technologies such as local shared objects, flash cookies or pixels, are tools that web servers use to store and retrieve information about visitors, and also to ensure correct functioning of the website.
TYPES OF COOKIES
Types of cookies according to who manages them:
- Own cookies: are the ones that are sent to the user’s device from a computer or domain managed by the website owner and from where the service requested by users is provided.
- Third party cookies: are the ones that are sent to the user’s device from a computer or domain not managed by the website owner, from where the service requested by users is provided, but rather by another company that processes the data obtained through cookies. Likewise, if cookies are installed from a device or domain managed by the website owner, but the compiled information through these cookies is managed by a third party, they are also considered to be third party cookies.
Types of cookies according to their purpose:
- Technical cookies: are the ones that allow users to browse a website, platform or application and to use the different options or services on them, including those that the editor uses to allow management and operation of the website and to enable its functions and services, such as: monitoring traffic and data communication, session ID, accessing restricted areas, remembering the items of an order, carrying out the purchasing process, managing payment, controlling fraud linked to service security, registration and participation in events, counting visits for the purposes of software license invoices the service employs (website, platform or application), using security elements while browsing, storing content for display of video or audio, enabling dynamic contents (e.g. loading animation of text or images) or sharing contents on social media.
Also included in this category because of their technical nature are any cookies that permit effective management of advertising spaces, as a further design or “modelling” element of the service provided to users that the publisher has included on the website, application or platform based on criteria such as published content, without compiling information about users for any other purposes, such as customising advertising and other content.
- Preference or customization cookies: are those that permit remembering information so that users can access the service under set conditions that can differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as the language, the number of results to show in a search, the appearance or content of the service according to the type of browser through which users access the website, or the region from where they access it, etc.
- Analytics or measurement cookies: are cookies that allow the owners to monitor and analyze user behavior on the websites they are linked to, including quantification of the impact of adverts. The information compiled by these cookies is used to monitor the activity on the website, application or platform in order to implement improvements according to the analysis of the data about the use that users make of the service.
- Behavioral advertising cookies: are those that allow effective management of the advertising spaces on websites. These cookies store information about user behavior which is obtained by continuously monitoring their browsing habits, which in turn permits developing a specific profile to show advertising in accordance with the profile.
- Geolocation cookies: are used to know where users are when they request a service. These are anonymous cookies and, for example, are used to provide you with appropriate information according to the country where you are.
Types of cookies according to the time they remain active:
- Session cookies: are cookies that are designed to collect and store information while the user is browsing a website. They are usually used to store information that is only needed to provide services that are requested once only by users (e.g. a list of purchased products), and they disappear at the end of the session.
- Persistent cookies: are cookies in which data is stored in the device and can be accessed and processed for a set time by the cookie manager, and may last from a few minutes to several years.
