Among other functions, they allow a web page to save and retrieve information about the browsing habits of a user or the actions carried out on a particular computer. From that data stored, the user can be recognised and the service can be improved accordingly.


Types of cookies

According to the entity that manages them and processes the data obtained, there are two types of cookies: those called first party cookies and those called third party cookies.

Depending on the time they remain active in the user’s browser, they can also be classified as session cookies or persistent cookies.

Finally, cookies can be classified into five groups, depending on the purposes for which the information is obtained: technical, personalisation, analytical, publicity and behavioural advertising.

More information can be found in the Guide to the Use of Cookies published by the Spanish Agency for Data Protection.
