What are cookies?
A cookie is a file downloaded to your computer when accessing certain web pages. Cookies allow a website, among other things, to store and retrieve information about a user’s or their device’s browsing habits and, depending on the information contained and how the device is used, can be used to recognize the user.
Types of cookies according to the entity managing them
Depending on who manages the device or domain from which the cookies are sent and processes the obtained data, we can distinguish:
- First-party cookies: These are sent to the user’s terminal device from a device 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 device from a device or domain not managed by the publisher but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.
If cookies are installed from a device or domain managed by the publisher, but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered first-party cookies.
Types of cookies according to the duration they remain active
Depending on how long they remain active on the terminal device, we can distinguish:
- Session cookies: These are designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website.
They are usually used to store information that only needs to be kept to provide the service requested by the user on a single occasion (for example: a list of purchased products).
- Persistent cookies: These cookies keep data stored on the device and can be accessed and processed during a period defined by the cookie manager, which can range from a few minutes to several years.
Types of cookies according to their purpose
According to the purpose for which the data obtained through cookies is processed, we can distinguish:
- Technical cookies: These allow the user to navigate through a website, platform, or application and use the various options or services it contains, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, remembering elements of an order, completing the purchase process, submitting registration or participation in an event, using security elements during navigation, storing content for video or sound dissemination, or sharing content through social networks.
- Customization cookies: These allow the user to access the service with some predefined general characteristics based on criteria on the user’s device such as language, browser type, regional configuration, etc.
- Analytics cookies: These allow the cookie manager to track and analyze the behavior of users of the websites to which they are linked. The information collected is used to measure website, application, or platform activity and to create browsing profiles for users, aiming to introduce improvements based on usage data analysis.
- Advertising cookies: These allow the most effective management of advertising spaces that the publisher may have included on a website, application, or platform from which the requested service is provided, based on criteria such as edited content or ad display frequency.
- Behavioral advertising cookies: These allow the most effective management of advertising spaces that the publisher may have included on a website, application, or platform from which the requested service is provided. These cookies store information about users’ behavior obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, allowing the development of specific profiles to show targeted advertising accordingly.
