3. WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES EXIST?

According to the entity that manages them:

First-party cookies: These are cookies 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 cookies 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.

According to the period of time they remain active on the terminal equipment:

Session cookies: These are cookies designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website. They are usually used to store information that only needs to be kept for the provision of the service requested by the user on a single occasion, such as a list of purchased products, and they disappear when the session ends.

Persistent cookies: These are cookies in which the data remain stored on the terminal and may be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie controller, which may 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 are cookies that allow the user to browse a website, platform or application and use the different options or services available on it. This includes cookies used by the publisher to enable the management and operation of the website and to enable its functions and services, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access areas, remembering the items included in an order, carrying out the purchase process of an order, managing payment, controlling fraud linked to the security of the service, processing a registration or participation request for an event, counting visits for the purpose of billing software licences with which the service operates, using security elements during browsing, storing content for the broadcasting of videos or sound, enabling dynamic content, such as loading animation for text or images, or sharing content through social media.

This category also includes, due to their technical nature, cookies that allow the most efficient management possible of advertising spaces which, as another design or layout element of the service offered to the user, the publisher may have included on a website, application or platform based on criteria such as the published content, without collecting information from users for other purposes, such as personalising that advertising content or other content.

Preference or personalisation cookies: These are cookies that allow information to be remembered so that the user can access the service with certain features that may differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as language, the number of results to be displayed 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 the user accesses the service, etc.

Analytics or measurement cookies: These are cookies that allow the controller to monitor and analyse the behaviour of users of the websites to which they are linked, including the quantification of advertising impacts. The information collected through this type of cookie is used to measure the activity of websites, applications or platforms in order to introduce improvements based on the analysis of how users use the service.

Advertising and marketing cookies: These are cookies that allow the most efficient management possible of advertising spaces which, where applicable, the publisher may have included on a website, application or platform from which the requested service is provided, based on criteria such as the published content or the frequency with which advertisements are displayed.

Behavioural advertising cookies: These are cookies that allow the most efficient management possible of advertising spaces which, where applicable, the publisher may have included on a website, application or platform from which the requested service is provided. These cookies store information about user behaviour obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows a specific profile to be created in order to display advertising based on that profile.
