WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES ARE THERE?

Depending on the entity that manages them:

Own cookies: cookies that are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the editor and from which the service requested by the user is provided.

Third-party cookies: cookies that are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain that is not managed by the editor, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.

Depending on their lifespan on the terminal equipment:

Session cookies: cookies designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a web page. They are usually used to store information that only needs to be kept for service requested by the user on a single occasion (for example, a list of products purchased) and disappear at the end of the session.

Persistent cookies: for these cookies, the data is still stored in the terminal, and it can be accessed and processed for a period of time defined by the entity responsible for the cookie; this duration can range from a few minutes to several years.

Depending on the purpose for which the data obtained through cookies are processed:

Technical cookies: these cookies allow the user to navigate through a website, platform or application and use the different options or services available in it, including those that the editor uses to manage and operate the website and enable its functions and services, such as, for example: control traffic and data communication, identify the session, access restricted access parts, remember the elements that make up an order, purchase an order, manage payment, control fraud related to the security of the service, apply to register for or participate in an event, count visits for the purpose of billing software licenses that the service works with (website, platform or application), use security features while browsing, store content for broadcasting videos or sound, enable dynamic content (for example, load animated text or image), or share content through social media. Also belonging to this category, due to their technical nature, are cookies that allow advertising spaces to be efficiently managed as another design or “layout” element of the service offered to the user that the editor has included in a web page, application or platform based on criteria such as the edited content, without collecting information from users for other purposes, such as personalising advertising content or other content.

Preference or personalisation cookies: these cookies allow information to be remembered so that the user can access the service with certain characteristics that may differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as, for example: the language, the number of results to be displayed when the user performs a search, the appearance or content of the service depending on the type of browser through which the user accesses the service or the region from which the user accesses the service, etc.

Analysis or performance cookies: these cookies allow the data controller to monitor and analyse the behaviour of users of linked websites, which includes quantifying the impacts of advertisements. The information collected through this type of cookies is used to measure website, application, or platform activity in order to introduce improvements based on an analysis of the users’ use of the service.

Advertising cookies: these cookies allow the management, in the most effective way possible, of advertising spaces that, where appropriate, the editor has included on a website, application or platform from which it provides the requested service based on criteria such as the edited content or the frequency at which the advert is displayed.

Behavioural advertising cookies: these cookies allow the management, in the most effective way possible, of advertising spaces that, where appropriate, the editor has included on a website, application or platform from which it provides the requested service. These cookies store information on the behaviour of users obtained by continuously observing their browsing habits, which allows a specific profile to be developed and advertising to be displayed based on this profile.
