What is a cookie?
Cookies are files that are downloaded to the user’s terminal (computer/Smartphone/Tablet) when accessing certain web pages and that are stored in the user’s memory. Cookies allow, among other things, to store and retrieve information about the browsing habits of a user or their equipment, see which pages are visited, the connection time, analyze the operation of a page, if there are technical problems, etc. Depending on the information they contain and the way the terminal is used, they can be used to recognize the user.
What types of cookies exist?
There are several types of cookies based on different criteria:
Depending on the time they remain activated:
Session Cookies: They are a type of cookie designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a web page.
Permanent cookies: They are a type of cookie in which the data is still stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed during a period defined by the person responsible for the cookie.
Depending on the ownership:
Own Cookies: These are those that belong to the owner of the website.
Third-party cookies: These are those whose ownership belongs to a third party, other than the owner of the website, who will be the one who processes the information collected.
Depending on their purpose:
Technical cookies: are those that allow the user to navigate through a web page, 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 website and enable its functions and services, such as, for example, control traffic and data communication, identify the session, access restricted access parts, remember the elements that make up an order, carry out the process purchase of an order, manage payment, control fraud linked to the security of the service, make the request for registration or participation in an event, count visits for billing purposes of software licenses with which the service works (site web, platform or application), use security elements during browsing, store content for the dissemination of videos or sound, enable content dynamic ones (for example, loading animation of a text or image) or share content through social networks.
Also belonging to this category, due to their technical nature, are those cookies that allow the management, in the most efficient way possible, of the advertising spaces that, as one more element of design or “layout” of the service offered to the user, the publisher has included in a web page, application or platform based on criteria such as edited content, without collecting information from users for different purposes, such as personalizing that advertising content or other content. Technical cookies will be exempt from compliance with the obligations established in article 22.2 of the LSSI when they allow the service requested by the user to be provided, as is the case with the cookies listed in the preceding paragraphs. However, if these cookies are also used for non-exempt purposes (for example, for behavioral advertising purposes), they will be subject to these obligations.
Preference or personalization cookies: are those that allow the user to remember information so that the user accesses the service with certain characteristics that can 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 based on the type of browser through which the user accesses the service or the region from which the user accesses the service, etc.
If it is the user himself who chooses these characteristics (for example, if he selects the language of a website by clicking on the icon of the flag of the corresponding country), cookies will be exempt from the obligations of article 22.2 of the LSSI because they are considered a service expressly requested by the user, and this as long as the cookies are exclusively for the purpose selected.
Analysis or measurement cookies: are those that allow the person responsible for them to monitor and analyze the behavior of the users of the websites to which they are linked, including the quantification of the impacts of the advertisements. The information collected through this type of cookie 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 made by the users of the service.
Regarding the treatment of data collected through analysis cookies, although they are not exempt from the duty to obtain informed consent for their use, it is unlikely that they represent a risk to the privacy of users as long as they are First-party cookies, which process aggregate data for strictly statistical purposes, provide information on their use and include the possibility for users to express their refusal about their use.
Behavioral advertising cookies: are those that store information on the behavior of users obtained through the continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows the development of a specific profile to display advertising based on it.
Depending on the time they remain activated in the terminal equipment, we can distinguish:
Session Cookies: are those designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a web page. They are usually used to store information that is only interesting to keep for the provision of the service requested by the user on a single occasion (for example, a list of products purchased) and they disappear when the session ends.
Persistent cookies: are those in which the data is still stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the person responsible for the cookie, and which can range from a few minutes to several years.
What is a cookie for?
Cookies are used to be able to offer you personalized services and/or advertising, to analyze the functioning of the system, recognize you when you access as a user, locate incidents and problems that may arise and solve them in the shortest possible time, as well as analyze and measure the use and website activity.
Is my consent needed to implant a cookie?

For the rest, the consent of the interested party is required, which can be requested in different ways. In relation to this web page, it will be understood as granted if you continue to use the web page, without prejudice to the fact that you may revoke it at any time and deactivate cookies.
