WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small data files that are received on the device from the visited website and are used to record certain interactions while browsing a website by storing data that can be updated and retrieved.
These files are stored on the user’s device and contain anonymous data that are not harmful to the device. They are used to remember user preferences, such as selected language, login data or customization of the website or App.
Cookies or storage devices have traditionally been associated with web pages. However, they are currently used both on websites and on other types of platforms and applications (for example, Apps for smartphones and tablets).
Cookies can also be used to record anonymous information about how a visitor uses a site. For example, from which website/App they accessed it, or whether they used an advertising banner to reach it.
Information society services may be provided by the publisher through a platform, software application or website/App which the user accesses from their terminal device.

2. WHAT USE DO WE GIVE TO THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF COOKIES?
According to their purpose:
- Technical cookies:these are those that allow the user to navigate through a website, platform or application and use the different options or services. For example, those used for session maintenance, response time management, performance or option validation, using security elements and sharing content.
- Preference or personalization cookies:these allow information to be remembered so that the user accesses the service with certain characteristics that may differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as the language, the number of results to be displayed when the user performs a search, the appearance or content of the service depending on the type of browser through which the user accesses the service or the region from which they access the service, etc.
- Analysis or measurement (analytics) cookies:these allow the party responsible for them to monitor and analyze the behavior of users of the websites or Apps to which they are linked, including the quantification of the impact of advertisements. The information collected through this type of cookies is used to measure the activity of websites, applications or platforms, in order to introduce improvements based on the analysis of the usage data made by users of the service.
- Advertising/marketing cookies:these are those that, processed by the App administrator or by third parties, allow us to analyze your browsing habits on the Internet so that we can show you advertising related to your browsing profile. Advertising cookies allow the management of advertising spaces based on specific criteria.
They store information on user behavior obtained through the continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows the development of a specific profile to display advertising based on it.
Types of cookies according to the period of time they remain active:
- Session cookies:these are designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website/App. They are usually used to store information that is only of interest to retain for the provision of the service requested by the user on a single occasion (for example, a list of purchased products) and they disappear at the end of the session.
- Persistent cookies:these are those in which the data remain stored on the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the party responsible for the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years. In this regard, it should be specifically assessed whether the use of persistent cookies is necessary, since privacy risks could be reduced by using session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to reduce their duration to the minimum necessary according to the purpose of their use.
The legal obligations imposed by the regulations are twofold: the obligation of transparency and the obligation to obtain the explicit consent of the website user.
In accordance with the nature of their business activity, the business model they develop and the scope of their responsibility, it is recommended to carry out a review of the cookies used, either internally or with the advice of specialized entities.
This review will aim to identify the cookies being used, analyzing whether they are first-party or third-party cookies, session or persistent cookies, and specifying their function in order to decide whether they fall within the scope of application of Article 22.2. Taking into account the possible changes that may occur in the management and use of cookies, it is advisable to periodically carry out this review in order to update the available information about these cookies. In any case, it should be noted the convenience that the solutions implemented to comply with the obligations of Article 22.2 of the LSSI must be technologically neutral and, therefore, must be solutions recognized by most browsers.
3.- LINK FOR COOKIE IDENTIFICATION:
It is advisable that the information through which cookies are managed (including how to withdraw consent and delete cookies) is made available in an accessible and permanent manner at all times through the relevant website, application or online service.
For these purposes, and without prejudice to other possible solutions, this requirement shall be deemed to be met when the cookie management system (configuration panel or a CMP, which allows website or App owners to obtain, manage and distribute consumer consent) is integrated into the cookie policy itself or when this policy includes a link that leads directly to the management system or configuration panel.

These cookies must comply with GDPR-EU-2016/679, LOPDGDD-3/2018, the regulations of LSSI-CE-34/2002, updated on 09/05/2023, and the AEPD Guidelines on the use of cookies of July 2023, with criteria from the EDPB.
