What are Cookies?:
Cookies are small files that are installed in the memory or hard drive of the user’s device, with a limited duration in time, which help to personalize the services offered by the web pages. They allow certain functionalities and personalization (the preferred language, font size, etc.) to be offered that are only available through their use.
Cookies are also used in order to determine the interests, behavior and demographics of those who visit or who are users of a website and thus to better understand their needs and interests and to provide them with a better service or related information.
Cookies are essential to the operation of the Internet; they cannot damage a user’s computer/device and, if enabled in your browser settings, help us to identify and resolve potential operating errors.
Types of Cookies:
There are different types of cookies. They all work the same way, but have small differences:
According to their owner
- Own cookies: programming codes created by the company that manages the website. They can collect any kind of data as it depends on their programming.
- Third party cookies. Third-party cookies are cookies that are set by a website other than the one you are visiting; for example, those used by social networks (such as Facebook), by external content plug-ins (such as Google Maps), or those that collect data on user activity (such as Google Analytics).
Depending on their duration
- Session Cookies. Session cookies remain active only during your visit to a website and are deleted when you close your browser. Their main purpose is to identify the type of device, support website security or basic functionality. They do not contain personal information that would allow us to identify an individual.
- Persistent or Permanent Cookies: They are stored in the device’s memory and are read by the web pages each time you visit one of those pages again. They have an expiration date, after which the cookie stops working. They allow us to identify your actions and preferences; analyze visits and help us to understand how users arrive at our site and improve our services.
According to their functionality
- Technical cookies: They allow us to store options from our website, blog or online store, such as identifying a session, accessing extra or restricted content, etc.
- Personalization cookies: They store the personalization of the home page of our browser, for example, previously chosen by the user.
- Analysis Cookies: They store data about how the user navigates in order to detect browsing habits and adapt to the needs of each user.
- Advertising Cookies: These are used to manage and optimize aspects related to the advertising received by the user, such as the frequency with which an ad is shown to the user.
- Behavioral advertising cookies: These are used to manage and optimize the advertising spaces on the websites by storing data on browsing habits. This type of cookie allows, for example, to show users advertising banners on topics in which they may be potentially interested.
