Types of Cookies
There are different types of cookies depending, above all, on the nature of the same, so the following are classified as a guide, among others:
According to the time frame:
- Session Cookies: are those designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website. They are usually used to store information that is only relevant to the provision of the service requested by the user on one occasion (for example, a list of products purchased) and disappear at the end of the session.
- Persistent cookies: are those in which the data is still stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed during a period defined by the person responsible for the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years.
According to their purpose:
- Technical cookies: are those that allow the user to navigate through a website, platform or application and to use the different options or services that exist therein, including those that the publisher uses to allow the management and operation of the website and to enable its functions and services (such as, for example, controlling data traffic and communication, identifying the session, accessing parts of restricted access and similar purposes of a technical nature).
- Customization cookies: are those that allow to remember information so that the user accesses the service with certain characteristics that can differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as, for example, the language, the number of results to be shown when the user performs a search, the aspect or content of the service depending on the type of browser through which the user accesses the service or the region from which he/she accesses the service, etc.
- Analysis cookies: these allow the person responsible for them to track and analyse the behaviour of the users of the websites to which they are linked, including the quantification of the impacts of the ads. The information collected through this type of cookie is used to measure the activity of the websites, application or platform, in order to introduce improvements based on the analysis of the usage data made by the users of the service.
- Behavioral advertising cookies: are those that store information on the behavior of users obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, allowing the development of a specific profile to display advertising based on it.
Depending on the entity that manages them:
