More information about cookies

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a text file harmless that is stored in your browser when you visit almost any website. The utility of the cookie is that the website is able to remember your visit when you browse that page again. Although many people don't know it, cookies have been in use for 20 years, since the first browsers for the World Wide Web appeared.

What is NOT a cookie?

It is not a virus, nor a trojan, nor a worm, nor spam, nor spyware, nor does it open pop-up windows.

What information does a cookie store?

Cookies do not usually store sensitive information about you, such as credit cards or bank details, photographs, your ID or personal information, etc. The data they store is technical in nature, personal preferences, content customization, etc.

The web server does not associate you as a person but to your web browser. In fact, if you usually browse with Internet Explorer and try to browse the same website with Firefox or Chrome you will see that the website does not realize that you are the same person because it is actually associating the browser, not the person.

What types of cookies exist?

Technical cookies: These are the most basic and allow, among other things, knowing when a human or an automated application is browsing, when an anonymous user and a registered one are browsing, basic tasks for the functioning of any dynamic website.

Analytics Cookies: They collect information about the type of browsing you are doing, the sections you use most, products consulted, time of use, language, etc.

Advertising Cookies: They show advertising based on your browsing, your country of origin, language, etc.

What are first-party and third-party cookies?

First-party cookies are generated by the page you are visiting and third-party cookies are generated by external services or providers such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, etc.
