MORE INFORMATION ABOUT COOKIES

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a harmless text file that is stored on your device when you visit most websites. The purpose of the cookie is for the website to be able to remember you on your next visit. Although many people are unaware, cookies have been used for 20 years, when the first browsers for the World Wide Web appeared.

What is a cookie not?

It is not a virus, a trojan horse or a worm. It is not spam or spyware and it does not open a pop-up window.

What information does a cookie store?

Cookies do not usually store sensitive information about you, such as credit cards or bank details, photographs, your ID or personal information, etc. The data stored by cookies is technical data, personal preferences, customization of content, etc.

The web server does not identify you as a person, but rather your web browser. In fact, if you regularly browse using Internet Explorer and try to browse the same website with Firefox or Chrome, you will see that the website does not realize that you are the same person because it is actually identifying the browser, not the person.

What type of cookies are there?

Technical cookies: They are the most elementary and allow, among other things, to know when a human or an automated application is browsing, or when an anonymous and a registered user is browsing – basic tasks for the operation of any dynamic web.
Analytics cookies: They collect information on the type of browsing you are doing, the sections you use the most, products consulted, time zone of use, language, etc.
Advertising cookies: They show advertising based on your browsing, your country of origin, language, etc.

What are own and third party cookies?

Own cookies are those generated by the website you are visiting, and third-party cookies are those generated by external services or providers such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, etc.
