General Typology, Purpose, and Function of Cookies

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

Based on the length of time they remain active on the user’s terminal, we can distinguish between:

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

• Persistent cookies: These are a type of cookie where the data remains stored on the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie’s controller, which can range from a few minutes to several years.

Types of cookies according to the managing entity

Depending on the entity that manages the equipment or domain from which the cookies are sent and processes the data obtained, we can distinguish between:

• First-party cookies: These are cookies sent to the user’s terminal from equipment or a domain managed by the publisher itself, from which the service requested by the user is provided.

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

Types of cookies according to their purpose

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

• Technical cookies: These allow the user to navigate through a website, platform, or application and use the different options or services that exist on it, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted parts, remembering the elements of an order, carrying out the purchase process for an order, making a request for registration or participation in an event, using security elements during navigation, storing content for broadcasting videos or sound, or sharing content through social media.

• Personalization cookies: These allow the user to access the service with some predefined general characteristics based on a series of criteria on the user’s terminal, such as the language, the type of browser through which they access the service, the regional configuration from where they access the service, etc.

• Analytics cookies: These allow the cookie manager to monitor and analyze the behavior of the users of the websites to which they are linked. The information collected through this type of cookie is used to measure the activity of websites, applications, or platforms and to create Browse profiles for the users of these sites, applications, and platforms, in order to introduce improvements based on the analysis of the usage data of the service’s users.

• Advertising cookies: These allow for the most effective management 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, based on criteria such as edited content or the frequency with which ads are shown.

• Behavioral advertising cookies: These allow for the most effective management 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 user behavior obtained through the continuous observation of their Browse habits, which allows a specific profile to be developed to display advertising based on it.
