Cookie Policy

What are Cookies?

A cookie is a file or device that is downloaded onto a user’s terminal equipment for the purpose of storing data that may later be updated and retrieved by the entity responsible for its installation. In other words, it is a file that is downloaded to your computer when you access certain web pages. Cookies allow a website, among other things, to store and retrieve information about a user’s browsing habits or those of their device and, depending on the information they contain and how the user uses their equipment, they can be used to recognise the user.

Their main functions are:

  • User control: when a user enters their username and password, a cookie is stored so that they do not have to enter them for each page on the server. However, a cookie does not identify only a person but a combination of computer–browser–user.
  • Obtaining information on the user’s browsing habits, and attempts of spyware (spy programs), by advertising agencies and others. This may cause privacy problems and is one of the reasons why cookies have their detractors.

There are different types of cookies depending mainly on their purpose, among them:

Analytics cookies: these cookies are used to analyse user behaviours and actions on the website, as well as to create browsing profiles in order to implement technical improvements to functionality and service.

Advertising cookies: they allow efficient management of advertising spaces based on a series of criteria, such as verifying whether the user has already accessed a particular piece of information so that it can be updated with new content.

Behavioural advertising cookies: these cookies store information on users’ behaviour, focusing on their browsing habits. This makes it possible to establish user profiles based on behaviour and use them to personalise the advertising shown.

If the user wants more information about cookies, they can consult the following website: http://www.aboutcookies.org/.
