Types of Cookies

1. Cookies can be classified into two types, depending on the entity that manages the domain from which the cookies are sent and processes the data gathered:

– First-party cookies: these are sent to your device from our own devices or domains, from which we provide the service that you have requested.

– Third-party cookies: these are sent to your device from a device or domain that is not managed by us, but rather by another entity that we work with, such as those used by social media or for external content like Google Maps.

2. They can also be classified based on the length of time they are stored on the user’s browser:

– Session cookies: these are temporary cookies that only remain on your browser cookie file until you leave the website, so none are registered on your device’s hard drive. The information obtained is useful to track website traffic. Over time, this will allow us to provide a better experience, improve the content and facilitate content use.

– Persistent cookies: these are stored on the hard drive and our website reads them every time you visit it. These cookies have a determined expiry date, after which they stop working.

3. Lastly, they can also be classified into five categories of cookies depending on the purpose for which they process the data gathered:

– Technical cookies: These are required for browsing and to enable our website to run properly. For instance, they are used for controlling traffic and data communications, accessing restricted areas, using security features while browsing, storing content for sound or video dissemination, or sharing content on social media.

– Personalization cookies: These are cookies that allow users to access the service with certain pre-set general characteristics based on a series of criteria, such as language, type of browser used to access the service, regional settings where the service is being accessed, etc.

– Analytical cookies: These enable us to quantify the number of users and therefore measure and statistically analyse the way that the users use the services provided.

– Advertising cookies: These cookies make it possible to manage as effectively as possible the advertising spaces included in our website, such as limiting the frequency with which adverts are shown.

– Behavioural advertising cookies: These cookies store information on users’ behaviour, obtained by means of continued observation, enabling us to identify their browsing habits and show them advertising based on this browsing profile.
