What are cookies?
Cookies are files that can be downloaded to your device through web pages. They are tools that play an essential role in providing numerous services in the information society. Among other things, they allow a web page to store and retrieve information about a user's browsing habits or their device, and depending on the information obtained, they can be used to recognize the user and improve the service offered.
Types of cookies
Depending on who manages the domain from where the cookies are sent and processes the data obtained, two types can be distinguished:
- First-party cookies: These are sent to the user's terminal equipment from a device 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 device or domain that is not managed by the publisher but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.
In the event that cookies are installed from a device or domain managed by the publisher itself but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered first-party cookies.
There is also a second classification according to the duration of time they remain stored in the client's browser, which can be:
- Session cookies: Designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a web page. They are usually used to store information that is only relevant to provide the service requested by the user on a single occasion (e.g., a list of purchased products).
- Persistent cookies: The data remains stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the person responsible for the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years.
Finally, there is another classification with six types of cookies according to the purpose for which the data obtained is processed:
- Technical cookies: Those that allow the user to navigate through a web page, platform, or application and use the different options or services that exist there, 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, making the application for registration or participation in an event, using security features during navigation, storing content for the dissemination of videos or sound, or sharing content through social networks.
- Personalization cookies: These 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 the language, the type of browser through which the service is accessed, the regional configuration from where the service is accessed, etc.
- Analytical cookies: These allow the responsible party to track and analyze the behavior of users of the websites to which they are linked. The information collected through this type of cookie is used to measure the activity of the websites, application, or platform and to create browsing profiles of the users of these sites, applications, and platforms, with the aim of introducing improvements based on the analysis of the usage data of the users of the service.
- Advertising cookies: These allow the most efficient management of advertising spaces.
- Behavioral advertising cookies: These store information on users' behavior obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, allowing the development of a specific profile to display advertising based on this.
- External social network cookies: These are used so that visitors can interact with the content of different social platforms (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.) and are generated only for users of these social networks.
