A cookie is a small file that is downloaded to your computer when you access certain websites. Cookies allow a website, among other things, to store and retrieve information about your browsing habits or your device and, depending on the information they contain and how you use your device, they may be used to identify you.
Types of cookies by the entity that manages them
- First-party cookies: These are cookies sent to the user’s device from a device or domain managed by the publisher itself, from which the service requested by the user is provided.
- Third-party cookies: These are cookies sent to the user’s device from a device or domain that is not managed by the publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through cookies.
Types of cookies by purpose
As stated in the AEPD’s “Guide on the use of cookies”, depending on the purpose for which the data obtained through cookies is processed, we can distinguish between:
- Technical cookies: These are cookies that allow the user to browse a website, platform or application and use the different options or services available on it, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, remembering the items in an order, completing the purchase process, submitting a registration or participation request for an event, using security elements during browsing, storing content for video or audio distribution, or sharing content through social networks.
- Preference or personalization cookies: These are cookies that allow the user to access the service with certain predefined general characteristics based on a set of criteria on the user’s device, such as the language, the type of browser used to access the service, the regional settings from which the service is accessed, etc.
- Analytics or measurement cookies: These are cookies that allow the party responsible for them to track and analyze the behavior of users of the websites to which they are linked. The information collected through this type of cookie is used to measure the activity of websites, applications or platforms and to create browsing profiles of users of those sites, applications and platforms, in order to introduce improvements based on the analysis of the usage data made by users of the service.
- Behavioral advertising cookies: These are cookies that store information about users’ behavior obtained through the continuous observation of their browsing habits, which makes it possible to develop a specific profile to display advertising based on it.
Types of cookies by how long they remain active
- Session cookies: These are cookies designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website. They are usually used to store information that is only needed to provide the service requested by the user on a single occasion (for example, a list of purchased products) and they disappear when the session ends.
- Persistent cookies: These are cookies in which the data remains stored on the device and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie owner, which can range from a few minutes to several years.
