How do we use Cookies?

 

Below, we provide more information so that the different types of cookies that can be used are better understood: Session cookies: these are temporary cookies that remain in the browser's cookie file until the web page is abandoned, so none is recorded on the user's hard drive. The information obtained through these cookies is used to analyze traffic patterns on the web. Ultimately, this allows for a better experience to improve content and make it easier to use. Permanent cookies: they are stored on the hard disk and the web page reads them each time a new visit is made. Despite its name, a permanent website has a specific expiration date. The cookie will stop working after that date. They are generally used to facilitate different services offered by web pages.

 

 

 

Typology, purpose and operation of Cookies:

 

Additionally, depending on their objective, Cookies can be classified as follows:

 

PERFORMANCE COOKIES: This type of Cookie remembers your preferences for the tools found in the Services, so you do not have to reconfigure the service every time you visit. As an example, this typology includes:

 

 

    • Video or sound player volume settings. The video transmission speeds that are compatible with your browser.

 

    • Objects stored in the "shopping cart" in E-commerce Services such as stores.

 

 

 GEO-LOCATION COOKIES: These Cookies are used to find out which country you are in when requesting a Service. This Cookie is completely anonymous, and is only used to help target content to your location.

 

REGISTRATION COOKIES: Registration Cookies are generated once the User has registered or subsequently opened his session, and are used to identify him in the Services with the following objectives:

 

 

    • Keep the User identified so that, if he closes a Service, the browser or the computer and at another time or another day re-enters said Service, he will continue to be identified, thus facilitating his navigation without having to identify himself again. This functionality can be suppressed if the User clicks on the “close session” functionality, so that this Cookie is deleted and the next time the User enters the Service, the User will have to log in to be identified.

 

    • Check if the User is authorized to access certain Services, for example, to participate in a contest.

 

    • Additionally, some Services may use connectors with social networks such as Facebook or Twitter. When the User registers in a Service with credentials of a social network, he authorizes the social network to save a persistent Cookie that remembers his identity and guarantees access to the Services until it expires. The User can delete this Cookie and revoke access to the Services through social networks updating their preferences in the specific social network.

 

    • ANALYTICAL COOKIES: Every time a User visits a Service, a tool from an external provider (Omniture, Comscore and the like that can be added to this list in case they vary in relation to the current ones) generates an analytical Cookie on the computer of the User. This Cookie, which is only generated during the visit, will serve in future visits to identify the visitor anonymously. The main objectives pursued are:

 

    • Allow the anonymous identification of the Navigating Users through the "Cookie" (identifies browsers and devices, not people) and therefore the approximate accounting of the number of visitors and their trend over time.

 

    • Anonymously identify the most visited content and therefore the most attractive for Users
      Know if the User you are accessing is new or repeat visit.

 

 

 ADVERTISING COOKIES: This type of "Cookies" allow to expand the information of the advertisements shown to each anonymous User.
