WHAT ARE COOKIES?
A cookie is a small text file that a website, app or other platform stores on your device or terminal (PC, tablet, smartphone, etc.). It records information about how you browse or use online content. Cookies enable businesses to identify website users or the devices they use to access the website, and to understand their browsing habits and preferences. The purpose of gathering this information is to improve the user experience and, in some cases, to enable advertising.
WHAT TYPE OF COOKIES ARE THERE?
A website may use different cookies for different purposes.
Below are some of the most common types of cookies, grouped according to where they are generated:
- First-party cookies: these cookies are downloaded onto the user’s device from equipment or a domain managed by the website owner.
- Third-party cookies: these cookies are also downloaded onto the user’s device, but are placed on the website by someone other than the website owner.
- Cookies can be categorised by their purpose:
- Technical cookies(strictly necessary): they enable the user to browse the website and to access the various options and services provided via the website. Technical cookies provide a service to the user. For example: identify the user to give them access to restricted areas of the website; remember the items in the user’s basket; set the language of the website; or adapt the website appearance based on the user’s particular browser, among other functions. The user’s consent is not required for these cookies provided they serve a strictly technical purpose. Technical cookies are downloaded by default when the user accesses the website.
- Preference or customisation cookies: these cookies collect information in order to customise the user’s experience on the website or platform. The user’s consent is not required for these cookies, provided they are used solely to process customisation information given by the user when browsing the website. These cookies are downloaded by default onto the user’s device after they have made their customisation choices.
- Analytics cookies: these cookies quantify the number of website users, track which parts of the website they visit and interact with users on the website. This information is used to analyse and obtain a statistical measurement of how users interact with the different website features. These insights into user behaviour may be used to improve their browsing experience. The website owner must inform users of these types of cookies so that users may consent or otherwise to their use.
- Behavioural advertising cookies: these cookies store information about user behaviour obtained from continuous monitoring of their browsing habits on other websites. This information may be used to create a specific user profile that determines the adverts they see, including advertising placed by the website owner or resulting from a collaboration with third parties. The website owner must inform users of these types of cookies so that users may consent or otherwise to their use.
