WHAT COOKIES ARE?
A cookie is a small text file that a website, application, or any other platform stores on your device or gadget.

TYPES OF COOKIES
There are different issues to take into account to differentiate the variety of cookies that a website can use. Generally speaking, we can make the following distinctions.
- Depending on the ownership of the cookies¸ we can distinguish:
- Own cookies: those that are downloaded to the user´s device who visits the website from a computer or domain managed by the person responsible for the website causing the download.
- Third-party cookies: these are cookies that are downloaded to the user´s device when visiting a website, but in this case, the management of these cookies does not fall to the manager of the website visited, but to another entity that processes this type of data on behalf of the manager of the website.
- Depending on the purpose of the cookies¸ they can be classified, broadly speaking, into:
- Technical cookies (strictly necessary): these are cookies that allow the user to browse the website and use the different options or services to be managed on the website. Their purpose will be to provide a service to the user, using functionalities such as identifying the user to facilitate access to restricted areas of the website; remembering elements of an order (shopping cart, for example); selecting the language of the website as well as adapting the appearance of the website according to the browser used by the user, among others. These cookies are exempt from the obligation to obtain the user’s consent before downloading them as long as their purpose is strictly technical. Thus, technical cookies are downloaded by default when the user accesses the website.
- Preference or personalisation cookies: these are cookies that allow information to be remembered so that the user accesses the service and platform with certain characteristics that can differentiate their browsing experience from that of other users depending on the configuration and personalisation options that the website may provide. Again, these cookies are exempt from the obligation to obtain the user’s consent before downloading them as long as their purpose is strictly and expressly to process the personalised information that the user sculpts when browsing the website when this functionality is provided. Therefore, once the personalisation actions have been carried out, these cookies are downloaded by default to the user’s computer.
- Analysis cookies: these are cookies that allow us to quantify the number of users, the sections visited on the platform, and how users interact within the platform to analyse and statistically measure the use made by users of the different functionalities of the website. Its purpose is to learn how users behave on the website to introduce improvements to make it easier for them to browse. These are not exempt from the obligation to obtain the user’s consent, therefore, users must accept them once they have been informed of their use by the owner of the website.
