What are cookies? Cookies are small files that are downloaded to the USER's device when visiting a website in order to store data that can be updated and retrieved by the entity responsible for their installation. If the USER does not register or leave personal information on the site, the server will know that someone with that cookie returned to the website, but it will be impossible to associate the browsing with a specific, identified USER.
Personal information must be explicitly provided by the user.
What types of cookies exist? Cookies, depending on their expiration, can be classified as session cookies or persistent cookies.
Session cookies. They expire when the user closes the browser.
Persistent cookies. They remain for a longer period of time during which the data continues to be stored on the terminal and can be accessed and processed.
They can also be distinguished according to the entity that manages the equipment or domain from which the cookies are sent and the data obtained is processed.
First-party cookies. These are those 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 publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.
Depending on its objective, we can talk about:
Technical cookies. They allow the user to navigate through a website, platform or application and use the different options or services that exist therein, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session or carrying out the purchase process of an order.
Personalization cookies. They allow the user to access the service with some predefined general characteristics based on a series of criteria in the user's terminal, such as language or browser type.
Analytical cookiesThey allow the website owner to track and analyze user behavior on the websites to which they are linked. The information collected is used to measure website, application, or platform activity and to create user browsing profiles in order to introduce improvements based on user data analysis.
Advertising or behavioral cookies. They allow for the most efficient management of advertising space that the publisher may have included on a website, application, or platform from which the requested service is provided. They store information about user behavior obtained through continuous observation of browsing habits, which allows for the development of a specific profile to display advertising based on that profile.
