Cookies allow, among other things, to store and retrieve 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 the user some classifications of them, without necessarily implying that this service uses all these types of cookies:

According to the entity that manages the cookies:

  • First-party cookies: these are those that 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 those that 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.

Depending on the shelf life:

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

According to their purpose:

  • Technical cookies: these are those that 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 that are used for session maintenance, response time management, performance or validation of options, use of security elements, etc.
  • Personalisation cookies: these are those that allow the user to specify or personalise some characteristics of a service. For example, define the language, locale, or browser type.
  • Analytical cookies: these are those that allow the number of unique visitors to be counted and an analysis of the use of a service to measure the interest of it or certain areas of it. For example, an analytical cookie would control the geographical areas from which the highest percentages of users connect, which is the most popular product or service, etc.
  • Advertising cookies: these are those that allow the management of advertising spaces in a service.
  • Behavioural advertising cookies: these are those that allow the management of advertising spaces in a service. The function of these cookies is to store information on the behavior of users of a service, in order to later show personalized advertising.

Other technologies:

  • Pixels, web bugs or trackers: also known as tracking pixels, pixel tags, web beacons or web beacons are tiny images of 1×1 transparent pixels that are inserted into a service in order to measure activity. Once a certain page is loaded in a browser, that image will load, and this data can be measured. Tracking pixels generally allow us to know the path that a certain user IP has taken in an online service.
  • HTML5 storage: consists of taking advantage of the capabilities of HTML5 technology to store certain parameters in the user’s browser that can be used to identify the user’s browser.
  • Local Shared Objects (LSOs): also known as “flash cookies”, it consists of the storage of information without cookies on the user’s computer by taking advantage of Adobe Flash Player technology.
  • Etags: this is a mechanism of the HTTP protocol that allows the validation of the cache that the user saves in their web browser. This technology is mainly used to save bandwidth, avoiding duplicate downloading of content. However, it can also be used to recognize the user’s browser.
  • Canvasfingerprinting: consists of the generation of a unique shape in the user’s browser by taking advantage of the technology of the HTML5 web standard to identify the user’s computer.
  • Font Detection: This technique involves identifying the font settings of the user’s computer to obtain a unique identification of the computer.
  • Browser cache: as the name suggests, this technique consists of storing information in the browser cache.
  • WebGL: this technique allows you to take advantage of the capabilities to represent figures in three dimensions of modern browsers to obtain a unique identification of the computer, due to the different configurations of each one.
