WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small files that are installed on the hard drive or browser of the computer, tablet, smartphone or equivalent device with internet browsing functions, which help, among other things: to personalise the website owner’s services, aid browsing and usability through the website, obtain aggregated information about website visitors, enable the reproduction and display of multimedia content on the website itself, allow elements of interaction between the user and the website itself, enable security tools, etc.

DEFINITIONS USED IN THIS COOKIES POLICY

  • Data: this is the information obtained from the user’s terminal equipment through the data storage and retrieval device (cookies or others). Data is personal when it concerns information about identified or identifiable natural persons, in the terms established in Article 4 of the GDPR

  • Aggregated information: non-nominal information, typically numerical and for the purpose of providing statistical information

  • Terminal equipment: the device from which the user accesses the service, such as a personal computer, mobile phone, tablet, etc., and from which the information is obtained

  • Publisher: the person responsible for or owner of the web page

  • Third party: a company external to, collaborating with, providing a service or related to the publisher, involved in the management of some cookies

  • Person responsible for the cookie: the publisher, person responsible, owner of the web page or, in some cases, the third party

  • Browsing habits: trends shown by the user when browsing a web page, such as the time spent on the page, parts visited, most frequent sections, origin of the visit, destination of the visit, among others.

WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES ARE THERE?

Depending on the company that manages it:

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

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

Depending on the length of time they remain activated on the terminal equipment:

Session cookies: these are designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a web page. They tend to be used to store information that is only of interest to be kept to provide the service requested by the user on a single occasion (e.g. a list of products purchased) and they disappear at the end of the session.

Persistent cookies: these are cookies in which the data remain stored on the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the person responsible for the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years.

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

Technical cookies: these allow the user to browse a web page, platform or application and use the various options or services on it, including those that the publisher uses to allow the management and operation of the web page and enable its functions and services, such as monitoring traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted-access areas, remembering the elements that make up an order, carrying out the purchase process for an order, managing payment, controlling fraud linked to service security, applying for registration or participation in an event, counting visits for the purpose of billing the software licenses with which the service (website, platform or application) operates, using security elements during browsing, storing content to broadcast videos or sound, enabling dynamic content (for example, animation, etc.) or sharing content through social networks. Cookies that allow the most efficient possible management of advertising space that the publisher has included on a web page, application or platform, as an element of the design or “layout” of the service offered to the user, based on criteria such as the published content, without collecting information from users for other purposes, such as personalising the advertising content or other content, also belong to this category due to their technical nature.

Preference or personalisation cookies: these are cookies that allow information to be remembered so that the user can access the service with certain characteristics that can differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as the language, the number of results to be shown 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 measurement cookies: these are cookies that allow the person responsible for them to monitor and analyse the behaviour of users of the websites to which they are linked, including quantifying the impact of advertisements. The information collected through this type of cookie is used to measure the activity of the website, application or platform in order to make improvements based on the analysis of the data concerning the use made by users of the service.

Advertising cookies: these allow the most efficient possible management of advertising space that, when applicable, the publisher has included on a web page, application or platform from which the requested service is provided based on criteria such as the published content or the frequency with which the advertisement is shown.

Behavioural advertising cookies: these allow the most efficient possible management of advertising space that, when applicable, the publisher has included on a web page, application or platform from which the requested service is provided. These cookies store information about the behaviour of users obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows a specific profile to be developed in order to display advertising based on it.
