What Are Cookies?

A «cookie» is a small data file that is downloaded to the terminal (computer/smartphone/tablet) of visitors who access certain web pages (hereinafter, the «Usuarios«) to store and retrieve information about the browsing performed from those devices.

These files are stored on the User’s terminal and contain data that is not harmful to their equipment. They are used to remember User preferences, such as the selected language, access data, or page customization. Cookies may also be used to record anonymous information about how a visitor uses a website, such as the website from which they accessed it or whether they used an advertising «banner» to arrive.

Types of Cookies

Depending on which entity manages the domain from which the cookies are sent and processes the obtained data, two types of cookies can be distinguished: first-party cookies and third-party cookies.

There is also a second classification according to the length of time they remain stored in the client’s browser: session cookies (which disappear at the end of the session) or persistent cookies (where the data is stored on the terminal for a defined period).

Finally, there is another classification based on the types of cookies according to the purpose for which the obtained data is processed: technical cookies, personalization cookies, analysis cookies, advertising cookies, behavioral advertising cookies, etc.
