What are cookies?
Cookies are files that can be downloaded to your device through web pages. They are essential tools in providing numerous services in the information society. For example, they allow a website to store and retrieve information about a user's or device's browsing habits and, depending on the data obtained, can be used to recognize the user and improve the service provided.
Types of cookies
Based on who manages the domain from which cookies are sent and processes the data collected, cookies can be classified as:- First-party cookies: These are sent to the user's device from a domain managed by the website owner and are used to provide the service requested by the user.
- Third-party cookies: These are sent to the user's device from a domain not managed by the website owner but by another entity that processes the data obtained through cookies.
If cookies are installed from a domain managed by the website owner but the data collected is managed by a third party, they are not considered first-party cookies.
There is also a second classification based on the duration they remain stored in the user's browser:
- Session cookies: These are designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website. They are commonly used to store information needed only for a single session (e.g., items in a shopping cart).
- Persistent cookies: These cookies remain stored on the device and can be accessed and processed for a defined period, which can range from minutes to several years.
Finally, cookies can also be classified based on their purpose:
- Technical cookies: Enable user navigation through a website, platform, or application and the use of different options or services, such as controlling data traffic, identifying sessions, accessing restricted areas, remembering items in an order, completing the checkout process, registering for events, using security elements, storing video or audio content, or sharing content on social networks.
- Personalization cookies: Allow users to access services with certain predefined general characteristics based on criteria on their device, such as language, browser type, or regional settings, etc.
- Analytics cookies: Allow tracking and analysis of users' behavior on the websites to which they are linked. The data collected is used to measure site activity, develop user navigation profiles, and improve the website, application, or platform based on user data.
- Advertising cookies: Help to manage advertising spaces as efficiently as possible.
- Behavioral advertising cookies: Store information on users' browsing habits through continuous observation, allowing the creation of a profile to display targeted advertising.
- External social media cookies: Allow visitors to interact with content on different social media platforms (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.), and are generated only for users of these networks. The use of these cookies and the information collected is governed by the privacy policy of each respective social platform.
