Below, we provide Users with general information about what cookies are and what types of cookies exist.

What are cookies?

Cookies and other similar devices, such as pixels, web bugs, etc., are text or image files that are installed in the user’s browser when they access an online service.
Cookies allow, among other things, the storage and retrieval of information about the user, their browser, their devices, and the user’s activity on the service to which they connect.

What types of cookies are there?

There are many types of cookies. Below, we offer users some classifications of cookies, without this necessarily implying that this service uses all of these types of cookies:

1. According to the entity that manages the cookies:

  • First-party cookies: these are sent to the user’s device or terminal from the computer or domain belonging to the owner of a service, and managed by the latter.
  • Third-party cookies: these are sent to the user’s device or terminal from a computer or domain that is not managed by the owner of a service, but by a third party that will process the information obtained through cookies.

2. According to storage time:

  • Session cookies: these are cookies that collect and store data when the user accesses a service and cease to exist once the user leaves the service.
  • Persistent cookies: these are cookies that have a specific duration determined by the data controller. The storage time can vary from a few minutes to several years. They are used to save and retrieve certain parameters each time the user visits a service.

3. According to their purpose:

  • Technical cookies: these are essential and strictly necessary for the proper functioning of the service and to use the different options or services offered by the owners of the service through it. For example, those used for session maintenance, response time management, performance or option validation, use of security elements, etc.
  • Personalization cookies: these allow the user to specify or personalize certain features of a service. For example, defining the language, regional settings, or browser type.
  • Analytical cookies: these allow the number of unique visitors to be counted and an analysis of the use of a service to be carried out in order to measure the interest in it or in certain areas of it. For example, an analytical cookie would be used to monitor the geographical areas from which the highest percentages of users connect, which product or service is most popular, etc.
  • Advertising cookies: these allow the management of advertising spaces on a service.
  • Behavioral advertising cookies: these allow the management of advertising spaces on a service. The function of these cookies is to store information on the behavior of users of a service, in order to subsequently display personalized advertising.

4. Other technologies:

  • Pixels, web bugs, or trackers: also known as tracking pixels, pixel tags, conversion pixels, web beacons, or web tags, these are tiny 1×1 transparent images that are inserted into a service in order to measure activity.
  • Once a particular page is loaded in a browser, this image will be loaded, allowing this data to be measured. Tracking pixels generally allow us to know the path taken by a particular user IP in an online service.
  • HTML5 storage: this consists of using the capabilities of HTML5 technology to store certain parameters in the user’s browser that can be used to identify the browser.
  • Local Shared Objects (LSOs): also known as “flash cookies,” this consists of storing information without cookies on the user’s computer using Adobe Flash Player technology.
  • Etags: this is an HTTP protocol mechanism that allows the validation of the cache that the user stores in their web browser. This technology is mainly used to save bandwidth, avoiding duplicate content downloads. However, it can also be used to recognize the user’s browser.
  • Canvas fingerprinting: this consists of generating a unique shape in the user’s browser using HTML5 web standard technology to identify the user’s computer.
  • Font detection: this technique consists of identifying the font settings on the user’s device to obtain a unique device ID.
  • Browser cache: as its name suggests, this technique consists of storing information in the browser cache.
  • WebGL: this technique takes advantage of the three-dimensional rendering capabilities of modern browsers to obtain a unique device ID, due to the different configurations of each browser.
