Cookies policy

A cookie is a small text file that is stored in your browser when you visit almost any website. Its purpose is to allow the website to remember your visit when you return to that page. Cookies typically store technical information, personal preferences, content customization, usage statistics, social media links, access to user accounts, and so on. The goal of a cookie is to adapt the website's content to your profile and needs; without cookies, the benefits offered by any website would be significantly diminished.

Cookies don't usually store sensitive information about you, such as credit card or bank details, photographs, your ID number, or other personal information. The data they store is technical in nature, such as personal preferences, content customization, etc. The web server doesn't associate you as a person, but rather your web browser. In fact, if you usually browse with Internet Explorer and then try browsing the same website with Firefox or Chrome, you'll see that the website doesn't recognize you as the same person because it's actually associating the browser, not the individual.

Below is a classification of commonly used cookies, categorized by type according to their owner, duration of use, and purpose:

1. Types of cookies according to the entity that manages them:

a) First-party cookies: These are those that are sent to the user's terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself and from which the benefit requested by the user is provided.

b) Third-party cookies: These are those that are sent to the user's terminal equipment from a computer or domain that is not managed by the website publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.

2 Types of cookies according to the length of time they remain active:

a) Session cookies: These are a type of cookie designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website.
They are typically used to store information that is only needed to provide the benefit requested by the user on a single occasion (for example, a list of purchased products).

b) Persistent cookies: These are a type of cookie in which the data remains stored on the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the Cookie Publisher, which can range from a few minutes to several years.

3 Types of cookies according to their purpose:

a) Necessary cookies: These are cookies that help make a website usable by enabling basic functions such as page navigation and access to secure areas of the website. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.

b) Technical cookies: These are those that allow the user to navigate through a website, platform or application and use the different options or benefits that exist in it, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, remembering the elements that make up an order, carrying out the purchase process of an order, making the request for registration or participation in an event, using security elements during navigation, storing content for the dissemination of videos or sound or sharing content through social networks.

c) Personalization cookies: These are those that allow the user to access the benefit with some predefined general characteristics based on a series of criteria in the user's terminal such as language, the type of browser through which the benefit is accessed, the regional configuration from where the benefit is accessed, etc.

d) Analytics Cookies: These cookies allow the website owner to track and analyze user behavior on the websites to which they are linked. The information collected through these cookies is used to measure website, application, or platform activity and to create user browsing profiles in order to introduce improvements based on the analysis of user data.

d) Advertising cookies: These are those that allow the management, in the most efficient way possible, of the advertising spaces that the publisher may have included on a website, application or platform from which the requested benefit is provided, based on criteria such as the content edited or the frequency with which the ads are shown.

d) Behavioral advertising cookies: These cookies allow for the most effective management of advertising spaces that the publisher may have included on a website, application, or platform from which the requested benefit is provided. These cookies store information about user behavior obtained through continuous observation of browsing habits, allowing for the development of a specific profile to display advertising based on that profile, using automated decision-making.
