What are Cookies?
“Cookies” are small temporary files that are created on the user’s device (computer, phone, tablet, etc.) when they visit a website, and that allow it to store or retrieve information when browsing, for example, to save their usage preferences or to recognize them on subsequent visits, as well as obtain information about their browsing habits.
When a website creates cookies on the user’s device, the address/domain of the website that created the cookies, the duration of the cookies, which can range from a few minutes to several years, and the content of the cookies are stored. The user can disable cookies at any time through the configuration system of this website, as well as configure your browser to prevent (block) the use of cookies by certain websites, as well as delete previously stored cookies.
Why are Cookies used?
The most common uses or purposes are:
- Essential technical cookies. They are used to manage the navigation flow within the website or to keep the user connected to it. By disabling them, it is possible that some sections of the website will not function correctly.
- Personalization cookies. Necessary to remember certain user preferences.
- Analytical cookies. They help us and third parties to collect information about the origin of users and their navigation within the website, for the purpose of carrying out statistical analysis in order to improve the structure and content.
- Advertising cookies. Used to manage the advertisements that appear on the website, decide the content or frequency of the advertisements.
- Behavioral advertising cookies. They help collect user browsing habits to create a profile of your interests and to show you tailored ads.
- Cookies for social sharing. They are necessary to identify the user on their social networks and thus allow content to be shared.
What do we mean by technologies similar to Cookies?
Similar technologies are any type of data storage and retrieval mechanism used on the user’s device to obtain information. The most common include:
- Local browser storage. Some websites use local storage called “sessionStorage” and “localStorage”, as well as the browser’s indexed database, to store information;
- Local storage of browser plug-ins, such as Flash local storage (Flash Local Shared Objects) or Silverlight local storage (Isolated Objects).
- A “web beacon” is a tracking technique that consists of inserting an image hosted on an Internet server into a web page (or email) so that when the browser or email program connects to that server to download and view the image, the connection is recorded. This allows us to know that the user has viewed the web page or email. Sometimes this image is very small or transparent so that the user does not realize its existence.
- Fingerprinting techniques that combine information obtained from the browser or navigation equipment to distinguish a user in their successive visits to different websites.
