Cookies according to the entity that manages them
Own cookies
These are those that are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the website provider itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided.
Third party cookies
Cookies are those that are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain that is not managed by the website provider, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.
Cookies by purpose
Technical cookies
They are those that allow the user to navigate through a website, platform or application and the use of the different options or services that exist in it, including those that the website provider uses to allow the management and operation of the website and enable its functions and services, such as, for example, controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access parts, remembering the elements that make up an order, carrying out the purchase process of an order, managing payment, controlling fraud linked to the security of the service, applying for registration or participation in an event, using security elements during browsing, storing content for the broadcasting of videos or sound, enabling dynamic content (for example, animated loading of text or images) or sharing content through social networks. Also belonging to this category, due to their technical nature, are those cookies that allow the management, in the most effective way possible, of the advertising spaces that, as another element of design or “layout” of the service offered to the user, the website provider has included on a website, application or platform based on criteria such as the edited content, without collecting information from users for other purposes, such as personalising this advertising content or other content. Technical cookies shall be exempt from compliance with the obligations established in article 22.2 of the LSSI when they enable the service requested by the user to be provided, as in the case of the cookies listed in the previous paragraphs. However, if these cookies are also used for non-exempt purposes (for example, for behavioural advertising purposes), they will be subject to these obligations.
Preference or personalisation cookies
They are those that allow information to be remembered so that the user can access the service with certain characteristics that may differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as, for example, the 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 they access the service, etc. If it is the user himself who chooses these characteristics (for example, if he selects the language of a website by clicking on the icon of the flag of the corresponding country), the cookies will be exempt from the obligations of article 22.2 of the LSSI as they are considered a service expressly requested by the user, provided that the cookies obey exclusively to the selected purpose.
Analysis or measurement cookies
These cookies allow the party responsible for them to monitor and analyse the behaviour of users of the websites to which they are linked, including the quantification of the impact of advertisements. The information collected through this type of cookies is used to measure the activity of the websites, application or platform, in order to make improvements based on the analysis of the data on the use made by users of the service.
