Cookies policy

 

1. Concept of ‘Cookie’

A cookie is a file that is downloaded to the browsing device (computer, smartphone, tablet, etc.) when accessing certain web pages. Cookies are mainly used to store and retrieve information about the browsing habits of a user or their equipment and, depending on the information they contain and the way in which the equipment is used, they can be used to recognise the user.

 

2. Cookies classification

a) Depending on the cookie owner:

Depending on the entity that manages the domain from which the cookies are sent and processes the data obtained, two types of cookies can be distinguished:

  • Own cookies: those that are sent to the user's terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the editor itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided
  • Third-party cookies: those 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. In the event that the cookies are installed from a computer or domain managed by the editor itself but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered as own cookies

 

b) Depending on the cookie’s duration:

There is also a second classification according to the length of time they remain stored in the client's browser, which may include:

  • Session cookies: designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website
  • Persistent cookies: the data remains stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the party responsible for the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years

 

c) Depending on the purpose of the cookie:

Finally, there is another classification according to the purpose for which the obtained data are processed:

  • Technical or necessary cookies: those that allow the user to browse through a website, platform or application and use the different options or services that exist on it, such as, for example, controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access areas, applying for registration or participation in an event, using security elements during browsing, storing content for the broadcasting of videos or sound or sharing content through social networks
  • Personalisation cookies: these allow the user to access the service with some general characteristics predefined according to a series of criteria in the user's terminal, such as the language, the type of browser used to access the service, the regional configuration from which the service is accessed, etc.
  • Analysis cookies: these allow the party responsible to monitor and analyse user behaviour of the websites to which they are linked. The information collected through this type of cookies is used to measure the activity of the websites, application or platform and for the elaboration of users’ browsing profiles on these sites, applications and platforms, in order to introduce improvements based on the analysis of the usage data of the users of the service
  • Advertising cookies: they allow the management of advertising spaces in the most efficient way possible
  • Behavioural advertising cookies: these store information on user behaviour obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows a specific profile to be developed in order to display advertising based on the same
  • External social network cookies: these are used so that visitors can interact with the content of different social platforms (Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, Linkedin, etc.) and are only generated for users of these social networks.
