WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES ARE THERE?

According to the entity that manages them:

First-party cookies: These 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 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 cookies.

According to the length of time they remain activated in the terminal equipment:

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 interests in preserving for the provision of the service requested by the user on a single occasion (e.g., a list of purchased products) and disappear at the end of the session.

Persistent cookies: These are cookies in which the data continue to be stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie controller, which can range from a few minutes to several years.

According to the purpose for which the data obtained through the cookies are processed:

Technical cookies: These allow the user to navigate through a website, platform, or application and use the different options or services that exist therein, including those used by the publisher to allow the management and operation of the website and enable its functions and services, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access parts, remembering the elements that make up an order, carrying out the purchase process of an order, managing payment, controlling fraud linked to the security of the service, making the request for registration or participation in an event, counting visits for the purpose of invoicing software licenses with which the service (website, platform or application) operates, using security elements during navigation, storing content for the dissemination of videos or sound, enabling dynamic content (for example, loading animation of a text or image) or sharing content through social networks. Also included in this category, due to their technical nature, are those cookies that allow the management, in the most efficient way possible, of advertising spaces that, as one more element of design or “layout” of the service offered to the user, the publisher has included in a webpage, application, or platform based on criteria such as the edited content, without collecting information from users for other purposes, such as personalizing that advertising content or other content.

Preference or personalization cookies: These allow remembering information so that the user accesses the service with certain features that can differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as the language, the number of results to show 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.

Analytics or measurement cookies: These allow the cookie controller 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 ads. The information collected through this type of cookies is used in measuring the activity of websites, application or platform, with the aim of introducing improvements based on the analysis of the usage data made by the service users.

Advertising cookies: These allow the management, in the most efficient way possible, of advertising spaces that, where appropriate, the publisher has included in a web page, application or platform from which it provides the requested service, based on criteria such as the edited content or the frequency at which the ads are shown.

Behavioral advertising cookies: These allow the management, in the most efficient way possible, of advertising spaces that, where appropriate, the publisher has included in a web page, application or platform from which it provides the requested service. These cookies store information on user behavior obtained through the continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows developing a specific profile to display advertising based on it.
