MORE INFORMATION ABOUT COOKIES

INFORMATION STORED BY COOKIES

Cookies store data of a technical nature such as personalisation of content, acceptance of the use of cookies, personal settings. Sensitive information such as credit or debit card numbers, bank accounts, personal identification numbers, images, among others, are not usually stored by cookies.

The information stored refers to the browser (Internet Explorer, Safari, Chrome, Firefox, etc.), and not to the user, to verify this you can enter the same web domain and verify in two different browsers that you can configure different preferences in each one.

TYPES OF COOKIES

This section has been taken from the Guide on the use of cookies by the Spanish Data Protection Agency http://www.agpd.es/portalwebAGPD/canaldocumentacion/publicaciones/common/Guias/Guia_Cookies.pdf . 

Depending on the entity that manages them:

  1. Own: These are those that are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the editor itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided.
  2. Third-party: These are those that are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain that is not managed by the editor, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.

In the event that the cookies are installed from a computer or domain managed by the editor itself but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered as own cookies.

Depending on the length of time they remain activated in the terminal equipment:

  1. Session cookies: These are a type of cookie designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website. They are usually used to store information that only needs to be kept for the provision of the service requested by the user on a single occasion (e.g. a list of products purchased).
  2. Persistent cookies: These are a type of cookie in which the data remains stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the party responsible for the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years.

Depending on the purpose for which the data obtained through cookies are processed, we can distinguish between:

  1. Technical Cookies: These are those that allow the user to navigate through a website, platform or application and the use of the different options or services that exist in it such as, for example, control traffic and data communication, identify the session, access parts of restricted access, remember the elements that make up an order, make the buying process of an order, make the application for registration or participation in an event, use security features while browsing, store content for broadcasting videos or sound or share content through social networks.
  2. Personalisation cookies: These are cookies that allow the user to access the service with some predefined general characteristics depending on a series of criteria in the user’s terminal, such as the language, the type of browser used to access the service, the regional configuration from which the service is accessed, etc.
  3. Analysis cookies: These cookies allow the party responsible for them to monitor and analyse the behaviour of the users of the websites to which they are linked. The information collected through this type of cookies is used to measure the activity of the websites, application or platform and for the elaboration of browsing profiles of the users of these sites, applications and platforms, in order to introduce improvements based on the analysis of the usage data of the users of the service.
  4. Advertising Cookies: These are those that allow the management, in the most effective way possible, of the advertising spaces that, where appropriate, the editor has included on a website, application or platform from which the requested service is provided based on criteria such as the edited content or the frequency at which the advertisements are shown.
  5. Behavioural advertising cookies: These cookies enable the management, in the most effective way possible, of the advertising spaces that, where appropriate, the publisher has included on a website, application or platform from which the requested service is provided. These cookies store information on the behaviour of users obtained through the continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows a specific profile to be developed in order to display advertising based on the same.

CONSEQUENCES OF DISABLING COOKIES

By way of example, the possible effects of not authorising the use of cookies may be the following:

  • The chosen products will not be loaded in the shop, so a shopping cart will not be created, preventing the possibility of finalising the purchase of the desired products.
  • You will not be able to access the customer area, personal area, or any other area that requires confirmation.
  • You will not be able to collect the data necessary to analyse the website, preventing the editor from knowing how to improve.
  • You will not be able to share the content of the website on social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, among others.
  • You will not be able to comment on the blog.
  • You will not be able to use any social network, as they all use cookies to be able to offer their service.
  • You will not be able to display third-party advertising, reducing the income for those who use this method.
  • On certain web domain sites, your browsing may be considered as spam because you cannot be identified.

This list is merely enunciative, not limitative.

DELETING AND BLOCKING COOKIES

The user may delete and/or block cookies for all browsing or for a specific web domain. This configuration must be made in each browser, if you do it in a browser and not in the other browsers of the same device, it will be assumed that in the others you accept the use of cookies. The editor cannot perform this action for the user, it must be done by the user in a responsible and particular way in each browser and / or device you want.

As each browser has different configurations, the user must go to the help section of each one to see the particular case. This section mentions the most common ones; however, due to browser updates or the operating system being used, this may vary. The user should always refer to the user manuals of their browser, this guide is merely a guide.
