General information
Below, the user is provided with general information about what cookies are and what types of cookies exist.
What are cookies?
Cookies and other similar devices, such as pixels, web bugs, etc., are text or image files that are installed in the user’s browser when they access an online service.
Cookies allow, among other things, the storage and retrieval of information about the user, their browser, their devices, and the user’s activity on the service they are connected to.
What types of cookies are there?
There are many types of cookies. Below, we offer the user some classifications of these, without necessarily implying that this service uses all of these types of cookies:
a) According to the entity that manages the cookies:
- First-party cookies: These are cookies sent to the user’s device or terminal from the computer or domain belonging to the service provider and managed by them.
- Third-party cookies: These are cookies sent to the user’s device or terminal from a computer or domain not managed by the service provider, but by a third party who will process the information obtained through the cookies.
b) According to retention period:
- Session cookies: These collect and store data when the user accesses a service and are deleted once the user leaves the service.
- Persistent cookies: These have a specific duration determined by the service provider. The retention period can vary from a few minutes to several years. They are used to save and retrieve certain parameters each time the user visits a service.
c) According to their purpose:
- Technical cookies: These are essential and strictly necessary for the proper functioning and use of the different options or services offered by the service providers. For example, those used for session maintenance, response time management, performance or option validation, use of security elements, etc.
- Personalization cookies: These allow the user to specify or personalize some characteristics of a service. For example, defining the language, regional settings, or browser type.
- Analytical cookies: These allow counting the number of unique visitors and analyzing the use of a service to measure interest in it or in specific areas of it. For example, an analytical cookie could track the geographical areas from which the highest percentages of users connect, which product or service is most popular, etc.
- Advertising cookies: These allow the management of advertising spaces within a service. Behavioral advertising cookies: These cookies allow the management of advertising space within a service. Their function is to store information about user behavior on a service in order to subsequently display personalized advertising.
d) Other technologies:
- Pixels, web bugs, or trackers: also known as tracking pixels, pixel tags, conversion pixels, web beacons, or web beacons. These are tiny, transparent 1×1 pixel images inserted into a service to measure activity. Once a specific page of the service loads in a browser, this image will load, and this data can be measured. Tracking pixels generally allow you to know the path taken by a specific user’s IP address on an online service.
- HTML5 storage: this involves leveraging the capabilities of HTML5 technology to store certain parameters in the user’s browser that can be used to identify the browser.
- Local Shared Objects (LSOs): also known as “flash cookies,” this involves storing information on the user’s computer without cookies, using Adobe Flash Player technology.
- Etags: this is a mechanism of the HTTP protocol that allows the validation of the cache that the user saves in their browser for a website. This technology is primarily used to save bandwidth by avoiding duplicate content downloads. However, it can also be used to recognize the user’s browser.
- Canvas fingerprinting: This involves generating a unique shape in the user’s browser by leveraging HTML5 web standard technology to identify the user’s computer.
- Font detection: This technique involves identifying the font settings of the user’s computer to obtain a unique computer identifier.
- Browser caching: As the name suggests, this technique involves storing information in the browser cache.
- WebGL: This technique leverages the three-dimensional rendering capabilities of modern browsers to obtain a unique computer identifier, due to the different configurations of each browser.
