WHAT ARE COOKIES?

A cookie is a file that is downloaded to your computer when you access certain web pages. Cookies allow a website, among other things, to store and retrieve information about the browsing habits of a user or their device and, depending on the information they contain and the way in which they use their device, they can be used to recognise the user. Cookies are only associated with an anonymous user and their computer or device and do not provide references that allow their personal data to be known.

COOKIES AFFECTED BY THE REGULATIONS AND COOKIES EXEMPTED

According to the EU directive, cookies that require informed consent from the user are analytical cookies and advertising and affiliation cookies, with the exception of technical cookies and those necessary for the operation of the website or the provision of services expressly requested by the user.

TYPES OF COOKIES

Depending on the entity that manages them, there are first-party cookies (those that 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) and third-party cookies (those that 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 the cookies).

Depending on the length of time they remain active, there are session cookies (designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a web page) and persistent cookies (in which the data is stored on the terminal and can be accessed and processed during a period defined by the person responsible for the cookie – this can range from a few minutes to several years).

Depending on the purpose for which they process the information they collect, they may be:

• Technical cookies (necessary for the use of the website and the provision of the contracted service).

• Analysis cookies (they collect information about the use made of the website),
• Advertising cookies (collect information about users’ preferences and personal choices).
