Cookies are useful for storing your activity history on our website so that when you visit it again, it can identify you and configure its content based on your browsing habits, identity and preferences.
A cookie is harmless and does not contain malicious or harmful code (e.g. viruses, Trojans, worms, etc.) that could damage your device (computer, smartphone, tablet, etc.), but it does have a certain impact on your right to data protection, as it collects certain information about you (browsing habits, identity, preferences, etc.).
What information does a cookie store?
Cookies do not usually collect special categories of personal data (sensitive data). The data they store is technical in nature, such as personal preferences, content personalisation, etc.
What types of cookies are there?
In general, there are five types of cookies:
- Technical cookies
These are the most basic cookies. They allow the user to browse a website, platform or application and use the different options or services that exist therein, such as, for example, controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, remembering the items included in an order, carrying out the purchase process for an order, applying to register or participate in an event, using security features while browsing, storing content for the dissemination of videos or sound, or sharing content via social networks.
- Personalisation cookies
These cookies allow the user to access the service with some general characteristics predefined according to a series of criteria in the user’s terminal, such as the language, the type of browser through which the service is accessed, the regional configuration from which the service is accessed, etc.
- Analysis cookies
These cookies allow the person responsible for them to monitor and analyse the behaviour of users of the websites to which they are linked. The information collected through this type of cookie is used to measure the activity of the websites, application or platform and to create navigation profiles of the users of these sites, applications and platforms, in order to introduce improvements based on the analysis of the usage data made by the users of the service.
- Advertising cookies
These cookies enable the most effective management of the advertising spaces that, where applicable, the controller has included on a website, application or platform from which the requested service is provided, based on criteria such as the content edited or the frequency with which the advertisements are displayed.
- Behavioural advertising cookies
These cookies enable the most effective management of the advertising spaces that, where applicable, the controller has included on a website, application or platform from which the requested service is provided. These cookies store information on user behaviour obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, allowing a specific profile to be developed in order to display advertising based on that profile. What are first-party and third-party cookies?
- First-party cookies
First-party cookies are those that are generated and managed by the controller providing the service requested by the user.
