Use of Cookies


What are cookies?

 Cookies are files that websites may download to your device. They play an essential role in providing many information-society services. Among other functions, they allow a website to store and retrieve information about a user’s or device’s browsing habits. Depending on the information obtained, they may be used to recognise the user and improve the service provided.

Types of Cookies

Two types can be distinguished according to the entity that manages the domain from which cookies are sent and processes the data obtained:

  • First-party cookies: cookies sent to the user’s device from equipment or a domain managed by the website publisher and from which the service requested by the user is provided.
  • Third-party cookies: cookies sent to the user’s device from equipment or a domain that is not managed by the website publisher but by another entity that processes data obtained through the cookies.

Where cookies are installed from equipment or a domain managed by the website publisher but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be regarded as first-party cookies.

Cookies can also be classified by the length of time they remain stored in the user’s browser:

  • Session cookies: designed to collect and store data while the user visits a website. They are normally used to retain information required only to provide a service requested on one occasion, such as a list of purchased products.
  • Persistent cookies: data remain stored on the device and may be accessed and processed for a period set by the party responsible for the cookie, ranging from a few minutes to several years.

Finally, cookies may be divided into five categories according to the purpose for which the data obtained are processed:

  • Technical cookies: cookies that allow the user to browse a website, platform or application and use its options or services. Examples include controlling traffic and data communications, identifying a session, accessing restricted areas, remembering items in an order, completing an ordering process, applying to register for or take part in an event, using security features while browsing, storing content to distribute video or audio, and sharing content through social networks.
  • Personalisation cookies: cookies that allow the user to access the service with predefined general characteristics determined by criteria on the user’s device, such as language, browser type and regional settings.
  • Analytics cookies: cookies that allow the responsible party to monitor and analyse how users behave on associated websites. Information collected through these cookies is used to measure activity on websites, applications or platforms and to prepare browsing profiles, enabling improvements based on analysis of how users use the service.
  • Advertising cookies: cookies that enable advertising spaces to be managed as effectively as possible.
  • Behavioural advertising cookies: cookies that store information about user behaviour obtained through continuous observation of browsing habits, enabling a specific profile to be developed so that advertising can be displayed accordingly.
  • External social-network cookies: cookies that allow visitors to interact with content on social platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and LinkedIn. They are generated only for users of those social networks. Their use and the information collected are governed by the privacy policy of the relevant social platform.

Disabling and Deleting Cookies

The method varies by browser but is normally available through the Tools or Options menu. Instructions may also be found in the browser’s Help menu. You may choose at any time which cookies to allow on this website.
