In general, these technologies can serve a wide variety of purposes, such as recognizing you as a user, obtaining information about your browsing habits, or personalizing the way content is displayed. The specific uses we make of these technologies are described in the box at the end of the following section.
2. Types of cookies
Depending on the entity, the purpose or the period for which the data obtained through cookies is processed, these may be:
a) Depending on 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 same publisher and from which the service requested by the user is provided.
- Third-party cookies: are 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 cookies.
b) According to its purpose:
- Necessary cookies: these are those that allow the user to navigate through the website and use the different options or services available, such as controlling data traffic and communication, carrying out the purchase process of an order or using security elements during navigation.
- Preference cookies: these are those that allow the user to remember information so that they can access the service with certain characteristics that can differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as the user’s settings regarding 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 it or the regional configuration from which the service is accessed.
- Statistics cookies: These are those that allow the tracking and analysis of user behavior on websites. The information collected through this type of cookie is used to measure the activity of websites, applications or platforms and to create browsing profiles of users of these sites, in order to introduce improvements to the service based on usage data.
- Marketing cookies: These are those that allow the effective management of advertising spaces that have been included on the website from which the service is provided. They allow the content of the advertising to be adapted so that it is relevant to the user and to avoid showing advertisements that the user has already seen.
- Behavioral advertising cookies: these are those that allow the management, in the most effective way possible, of the advertising spaces that, where applicable, the publisher has included on a website, application or platform from which the requested service is provided. These cookies store information on user behavior obtained through the continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows a specific profile to be developed to show advertising based on it.
- External social network cookies: these are those that are used so that users can interact with the content of different social platforms and are used by these third parties to carry out behavioral advertising, analysis and monitoring and market research by the third party owner of the social network, as well as for purposes that appear in their legal conditions.
c) Depending on the length of time they remain activated:
- Session cookies: These are those designed to request and store data while the user is accessing the website. They are usually used to store information that is only of interest to be kept for the provision of the service requested by the user on a single occasion (for example, a list of products purchased) and disappear at the end of the session.
- Persistent cookies: these are those in which the data remains stored on the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the person responsible for the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years.
International data transfer
No international transfers of personal data are made.
Although the information extracted from analytical cookies is transferred outside the European Economic Area (Youtube, Google), no international transfer of personal data is carried out, since this information does not allow users to be identified nor is it used to distinguish some users from others nor is individualized tracking of them carried out.
