We use “proprietary” cookies that are indispensable for filling out forms (comments, logins, …), but also other “third party” cookies to create anonymous statistics of visits to improve the user experience, or to participate in a blog. A “cookie” is a database written on a user’s computer’s hard drive by a website that identifies the user with the website and allows the user to remember the site, adjust preferences, or eliminate the need to fill out forms or data about future visits. It also allows a website to monitor the browsing pattern or behaviour of the users.
Types of Cookies
– Own cookies: These are sent to your computer by the website itself. A common example is a cookie that sends a portal to its users to find out their preferences about what language they want to read its content. When you select that you want to read the content in Spanish within the portal, it will send you a cookie with your preferences. From then on, when you install that cookie, the portal will show you the information in the language you previously selected.
– Third-party cookies: These are sent by other websites. For example, when you visit our website, Google Analytics sends you a cookie to identify you and track your navigation through our website. In this case, the storage of the cookie is not done directly by us, but by Google as a free service.
Types of cookies according to their purpose
– Technical cookies: these are generally sent by the site itself and make it easier for you to navigate through the portal. An example of this is the social network Facebook. When you add your user and password, Facebook sends you a cookie to identify you from the rest of your visitors and to show your limited personal information to the rest of the users.
– Personalization cookies: these are the cookies that store your preferences within the portal, such as your language.
– Analysis cookies: these are used to see how the visits to a website behave within them. Data such as what pages they see, how many seconds they are in each page, etc. These cookies are useful to improve the services of a portal based on the way users interact with them
– Advertising cookies: they are used to personalize the advertising that a portal shows to its users based on the content of the web and the frequency with which the ads are shown.
– Behavioural advertising cookies: These cookies store information about users and their behaviour and then provide them with relevant information in the available advertising spaces.
