What Are Cookies?
Cookies are files that can be downloaded to your device through web pages. They are tools that play an essential role in the provision of many services in the information society. Among other things, they allow a website to store and retrieve information about a user’s or device’s browsing habits, and depending on the information obtained, they can be used to recognize the user and improve the offered service.
Types of Cookies
Based on the entity managing the domain from which cookies are sent and handling the obtained data, cookies can be classified into two types:
- First-party cookies: These are sent to the user’s device from a computer or domain managed by the website editor and used to provide the requested service.
- Third-party cookies: These are sent to the user’s device from a computer or domain that is not managed by the website editor but by another entity that processes data obtained through cookies.
If cookies are installed from a computer or domain managed by the editor, but the information collected is handled by a third party, they cannot be considered first-party cookies.
Cookies can also be classified based on how long they remain stored in the user’s browser:
- Session cookies: Designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website. They are often used to store information relevant only during a single session (e.g., a list of purchased products).
- Persistent cookies: These remain stored on the device and can be accessed and processed for a defined period by the cookie’s controller, ranging from a few minutes to several years.
Finally, cookies can be categorized into five types based on their purpose:
- Technical cookies: Enable the user to navigate a website, platform, or application and use the different options or services available, such as controlling data traffic and communication, identifying a session, accessing restricted areas, remembering items in a shopping cart, completing purchase orders, registering for events, using security features, storing multimedia content, or sharing content on social networks.
- Personalization cookies: Allow the user to access the service with certain predefined general characteristics, such as language, browser type, or regional settings.
- Analytics cookies: Allow the cookie controller to track and analyze user behavior on linked websites. The data collected is used to measure site activity and create user navigation profiles for service improvements.
- Advertising cookies: Enable the most efficient management of advertising spaces.
- Behavioral advertising cookies: Store information about user behavior, obtained through continuous observation of browsing habits, allowing for the development of a specific profile to display targeted ads.
- Social media cookies: Enable users to interact with content from social platforms (e.g., Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn) and are generated only for those platform users. The usage of these cookies is subject to the privacy policies of the respective platforms.
