What is a cookie?

A cookie is a file that is downloaded to your computer when you access certain web pages. Cookies allow a web page, among other things, to store and retrieve information about the browsing habits of a user or their device, and depending on the information they contain and the way your device is used, they can be used to recognize the user.

However, these tools only obtain information related to the number of pages visited, the city assigned to the IP address from which the access is made, the number of new users, the frequency and recurrence of visits, the duration of the visit, the browser or operator or type of terminal from which the visit is made. Under no circumstances do they obtain data such as the user’s name, surname, postal address, or other similar data.

What types of cookies exist?

Cookies can be first-party or third-party. First-party cookies are those sent to the user’s terminal from a device or domain managed by the web editor that provides the service requested by the user. Third-party cookies are those sent to the user’s terminal from a device or domain not managed by the editor, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.

Additionally, cookies can be session or persistent. Session cookies are designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a web page. Persistent cookies store data on the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie manager, ranging from a few minutes to several years.
