What are cookies?

A cookie is any type of data storage and retrieval device used on a user's terminal equipment for the purpose of storing information and retrieving data already stored, as established in article 22.2 of Law 34/2002, of 11 July, on information society services and electronic commerce (LSSI).

 

This platform uses cookies and/or similar technologies that store and retrieve information when you browse. In general, these technologies can be used for a wide range of purposes, such as, for example, recognising you as a user, obtaining information about your browsing habits, or personalising the way in which content is displayed. The specific purposes we use these technologies for are described below.

 

Types of cookies

Cookies are classified below according to a number of categories. However, it is necessary to bear in mind that the same cookie may be included in more than one category.

 

Types of cookies according to the entity that manages them

 

First-party cookies: these are the cookies that are sent to the user's terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided.

 

Third-party cookies: these are 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.

 

Types of cookies according to their purpose

Technical cookies: are those that allow the user to navigate through a website, platform or application and the use of the different options or services that exist in it, including those that the editor uses to allow the management and operation of the platform and enable its functions and services, such as, for example, control traffic and data communication, identify the session, access areas that are restricted, remember the elements that make up an order, carry out the purchase process of an order, manage payment, control fraud linked to the security of the service, register for or participate in an event, count visits for the purpose of billing licences of the software with which the service (website, platform or application) works, use security features while browsing, store content for broadcasting videos or sound, enable dynamic content (for example, animation of loading a text or image) or share content through social networks.

 

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 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 they access the service, etc.

 

Analysis or measurement cookies: these are cookies that allow the party responsible for them to monitor and analyse the behaviour of the users of the platform to which they are linked, including the quantification of the impact of advertisements. The information collected through these types of cookies is used to measure the activity of the websites, application or platform, in order to introduce improvements based on the analysis of the usage data of the users of the service.

 

Behavioural advertising cookies: these are cookies that store information on the behaviour of users obtained through the continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows a specific profile to be developed in order to display advertising based on the same profile.

 

Types of cookies according to the length of time they remain active

 

Session cookies: these are designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website. They are usually used to store information that only needs to be kept for the provision of the service requested by the user on a single occasion and disappear at the end of the session.

 

Persistent cookies: these are those in which the data continues to be stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a defined period of time by the party responsible for the cookie.
