Cookies are files that can be downloaded to your device via web pages. They are essential tools for providing numerous information society services. Among other things, they allow a website to store and retrieve information about a user's browsing habits or device, and depending on the information obtained, they can be used to recognize the user and improve the service offered.
Depending on the entity managing the domain from which the cookies are sent and processing the obtained data, two types can be distinguished:
These are cookies sent to the user's device from a system or domain managed by the website operator from which the requested service is provided.
These are cookies sent to the user's device from a system or domain not managed by the operator, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through cookies.
If cookies are installed from a system or domain managed by the operator but the information collected is processed by a third party, they cannot be considered first-party cookies.
There is also a second classification based on the duration the cookies are stored in the client's browser:
Designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website. They are typically used to store information that is only relevant for the provision of the service requested by the user on a single occasion (e.g., a list of purchased products).
The data remains stored on the device and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie controller, ranging from a few minutes to several years.
Finally, there is another classification with six types of cookies according to the purpose for which the data is processed:
These cookies enable the user to navigate through a website, platform, or application and use the various options or services available, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, remembering items in a shopping cart, processing purchases, registering or participating in an event, using security features during browsing, storing content for video or audio playback, or sharing content on social networks.
They allow the user to access the service with some predefined general settings based on criteria on the user's device, such as language, browser type, or regional configuration.
These cookies enable their controller to track and analyze the behavior of users on the websites they are linked to. The information collected is used to measure website, application, or platform activity, and to create user navigation profiles for making improvements based on usage data.
They allow for the most effective management of advertising spaces.
They store information about users' behavior obtained by continuously monitoring their browsing habits, allowing the development of a specific profile to display targeted advertising.
These are used so that visitors can interact with content on various social platforms (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.) and are generated exclusively for users of those networks. The usage conditions and collected information are governed by the respective platform's privacy policy.
