What are cookies?

This website uses cookies and/or similar technologies that store and retrieve information when you browse. In general, these technologies can serve a wide variety of purposes, such as recognizing you as a user, obtaining information about your browsing habits, or personalizing how content is displayed. The specific uses we make of these technologies are described below.

Types of cookies according to the entity that manages them

Depending on who manages the equipment or domain from which the cookies are sent and processes the data obtained, we can distinguish:

  1. First-party cookies: These are sent to the user’s terminal from equipment or a domain managed by the website owner, from which the service requested by the user is provided.
  2. Third-party cookies: These are sent to the user’s terminal from equipment or a domain that is not managed by the website owner, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.

If cookies are served from equipment or a domain managed by the website owner, but the information collected is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered first-party cookies if the third party uses them for its own purposes (for example, improving the services it provides or delivering advertising services for other entities).

Types of cookies according to their purpose

There are many purposes for using cookies. Depending on the purpose for which the data obtained through cookies is processed, some of these purposes may include:

  1. Technical cookies: These allow the user to browse a website, platform, or application and use the different options or services available, including those used by the website owner to enable the management and operation of the website and its functions and services. For example, controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, remembering items in an order, processing a purchase, managing payment, controlling fraud related to service security, registering or participating in an event, counting visits for software license billing purposes, using security elements during browsing, storing content for video or audio distribution, enabling dynamic content (such as loading animations), or sharing content via social networks.
  2. Preference or personalization cookies: These allow information to be remembered so that the user accesses the service with certain characteristics that can differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as language, number of search results, appearance or content depending on the browser used or the region from which the service is accessed, etc.
  3. Analytics or measurement cookies: These allow the party responsible for them to monitor and analyze user behavior on the websites they are linked to, including measuring the impact of advertisements. The information collected is used to measure activity on websites, applications, or platforms in order to introduce improvements based on the analysis of user data.
  4. Behavioral advertising cookies: These store information about user behavior obtained through continuous observation of browsing habits, allowing a specific profile to be developed in order to display advertising based on that profile.
Types of cookies according to how long they remain active

Depending on how long they remain active on the user’s device, we can distinguish:

  1. Session cookies: These are designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website. They are usually used to store information that only needs to be kept for the duration of a single session (for example, a list of purchased products) and disappear when the session ends.
  2. Persistent cookies: These are those in which the data remains stored on the device and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the party responsible for the cookie, ranging from a few minutes to several years.
