What types of cookies are there and what is their use?

According to the ownership or entity that manages them:

• First-party cookies: these are generated by the website itself, i.e., those sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided.

• Third-party cookies: these are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain that is not managed by the publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.

According to the period they remain activated:

• Session cookies: these are designed to collect and store data while you access, in this specific case, the Website itself. They are only kept for the duration of the session and disappear when it ends.

• Persistent cookies: these are those in which the data remains stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the person responsible for the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years.

According to their purpose:

• Technical cookies: these allow you to navigate through the Website and use the different options or services that exist on it, including those that the publisher uses to allow the management and operation of the Website and enable its functions and services, such as, for example, controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, allowing access to certain areas, registrations, security, facilitating functionalities, and allowing pages to load faster.

• Functionality cookies: these cookies are used to improve the performance and functionality of the Website, but are not essential for its use. However, without these cookies, certain functions (for example, videos) might not be available.

• Analytical cookies: these allow us to track and analyze your behavior. The information collected through this type of cookies is used to measure activity, in this specific case, through the Website, in order to count the number of visits, understand user activity, and introduce improvements based on the analysis of usage data.

• Preference or personalization cookies: these allow information to be remembered so that the user accesses the service with certain characteristics that can differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as, for example, the language, the number of results to show when the user performs a search, the appearance or content of the service depending on the type of browser through which the user accesses the service or the region from which they access the service, among other functionalities.
