What are Cookies? 

Cookies are small pieces of text sent to your browser by a website you visit. They help that website remember information about your visit, which can both make it easier to visit the site again and make the site more useful to you.

Types of Cookies: 

1.Technical Cookies

These are necessary for navigation and the proper functioning of our Website, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access parts, making the request for registration or participation in an event, counting visits for the purposes of billing licenses of the software that operates the Website service, using security elements during navigation, storing content for the dissemination of videos or sound, enabling dynamic content (for example, loading animation of a text or image).

2.Analysis Cookies:

These allow us to quantify the number of users and thus carry out the measurement and statistical analysis of the use made by users of the Website.

3.Preference or Customisation Cookies:

These allow us to remember information so that the user accesses the service with certain features that can differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as the language, the number of results to display 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.

4.Session Cookies:

These are designed to collect and store data while the User accesses a web page.

They are usually used to store information that only needs to be preserved for the provision of the service requested by the User on a single occasion (for example, a list of purchased products) and disappear at the end of the session.

5.Persistent Cookies:

These are those in which the data continues to be stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie manager, which can range from a few minutes to several years. In this regard, the specific need for the use of persistent cookies should be assessed, since privacy risks could be reduced through the use of session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to minimise their temporary duration as much as necessary according to the purpose of their use. To this effect, Opinion 4/2012 of the GT29 indicated that for a cookie to be exempt from the duty of informed consent, its expiry must be related to its purpose. Because of this, session cookies are much more likely to be considered exempt than persistent cookies.
