What are cookies?
“Cookies” are small temporary files that are created on the user’s device (computer, phone, tablet, etc.) when they visit a website, and that allow it to store or retrieve information when browsing, for example, to save your preferences for use or to recognize you on subsequent visits, as well as to obtain information about your browsing habits.
When a website creates a cookie on the user’s device, the address/domain of the website that created the cookie, the duration of the cookie that can range from a few minutes to several years, as well as the content of the cookie are stored. The user can disable cookies at any time through the configuration system of this website, as well as configure their browsing program to prevent (block) the use of cookies by certain websites, as well as delete previously stored cookies.
What are cookies used for?
The most common uses or purposes are:
- Essential technical cookies. They are used to manage the flow of browsing within the website or to keep the user connected to it. When disabling them, it is possible that some part of the website does not work properly.
- Personalisation cookies. Necessary to remember certain user preferences.
- Analytical cookies. They help us and third parties to collect information on the origin of users and their navigation within the website, in order to carry out a statistical analysis in order to improve the structure and content.
- Advertising cookies. Used to manage the ads that appear on the website, decide the content or frequency of the ads.
- Behavioural advertising cookies. They help collect the user’s browsing habits to create a profile of their interests and to show them advertisements tailored to them.
- Cookies for social sharing. They are necessary to identify the user on their social networks and thus allow them to share content.
What do we mean by technologies similar to cookies?
Similar technologies are any type of data storage and retrieval mechanism used on the user’s device to obtain information. The most common include:
- The browser’s local storage. Some websites use local storages called “sessionStorage” and “localStorage”, as well as the browser’s indexed database, to store information;
- The local storage of browser plug-ins, such as Flash Local Shared Objects or Silverlight local storage (“Isolated Objects”).
- The “web beacon” is a tracking technique that consists of inserting an image hosted on an Internet server on a web page (or in an email) so that, when the browser or mail program connects to said server to download and view the image, the connection is recorded. This allows us to know that the user has viewed the website or email. Sometimes this image is very small or transparent so that the user is not aware of its existence.
- Fingerprinting techniques that combine information obtained from the browser or browsing equipment to distinguish a user on successive visits to different websites.
What are third-party cookies? Who are the recipients of the information?
The cookies on this website can be classified, depending on who creates them, into two categories:
