2.1.-What are cookies? 

Cookies are essential in the digital age for the functionality and experience of websites and online platforms. Here we explain their nature, purpose and use in the context of our website.

Nature of Cookies:

  • Definition: Cookies are small text files that websites store in the user's browser. They are created when a user visits a website, online store, intranet, online platform or similar.
  • Functionality: They allow the website to remember user actions and preferences, such as login, language, font size and other display settings.

Purposes and Benefits:

  • Variety of Uses: Cookies can have multiple purposes, including:
    • User Recognition: Facilitate user identification and personalization on subsequent visits.
    • Browsing Habits Analysis: Collect information about the user's browsing preferences and behaviors.

2.2.-Types of cookies according to the period of time they remain activated 

Understanding the different types of cookies based on their duration is essential to effectively manage privacy and user experience. Here we detail the two main types: session cookies and persistent cookies.

Session Cookies:

  • Temporary Functionality: These cookies are used to collect and store information only for the duration of the user's visit to the website.
  • Purpose: They allow the storage of information necessary for the provision of services requested on a single occasion. For example, they can retain data from a form while browsing through different pages of a registration or purchase process.
  • Features: They are automatically deleted when the user closes their browser. This means that they do not retain user data once their session ends.

Persistent Cookies:

  • Extended Duration: Unlike session cookies, these cookies remain on the user's device for a predefined period, which can vary from minutes to several years.
  • Risks and Benefits: Although persistent cookies may pose greater privacy risks compared to session cookies, their responsible use can provide a more personalized and efficient user experience.
  • Examples of Use: They are useful to remember the user's preferences for future visits, such as selected language or configuration options.

Importance of Cookie Management:

  • Compliance with regulations: The correct categorization and management of these cookies is essential to comply with the guidelines of the AEPD and the European control authorities.
  • Focus on Privacy: Measures must be taken to minimise risks to user privacy, especially with the use of persistent cookies, thus ensuring respect for user rights and freedoms.

2.3.-Types of cookies according to the entity that manages them 

Classifying cookies according to the entity that administers them is essential to understand how your data is collected and processed. This section explains the difference between first-party cookies and third-party cookies.

First-party or Own Cookies:

  • Definition: These are cookies that are sent to the user's device from a computer or domain managed directly by the owner/publisher of the website.
  • Purpose and Use: These cookies are usually essential for the operation of the website and allow functions such as maintaining the user session, remembering language settings or shopping cart.
  • Example: A cookie that saves the user's design preferences on the owner's website.

Third Party Cookies:

  • Definition: Cookies sent to the user's device from a computer or domain that is not managed by the owner/editor of the website, but by another entity.
  • Common Use: These cookies are often used for analytics, advertising, and behavior tracking purposes across different sites.
  • Example: A cookie from an advertising platform that tracks user activity across multiple websites to deliver personalized ads.

Special Considerations:

  • Third-Party Cookies Managed by the Owner: Even if the cookies are installed from the owner's domain, if the information collected is managed by a third party, these cookies are considered third-party cookies.
  • Transparency and Consent: It is crucial to inform users about the use of third-party cookies and obtain their consent in accordance with data protection regulations.

2.5.-Cookies exempt from compliance with the regulations

It should be noted that cookies used for any of the following purposes are exempt from compliance with the obligations established in article 22.2 of the LSSI:

  • Allow only communication between the user's computer and the network.
  • Strictly provide a service expressly requested by the user.

In this regard, the GT29, in its Opinion 4/201211, interpreted that among the excepted cookies would be those whose purpose would be: 

  1. “User input” cookies (Session and user input cookies are typically used to track a user’s actions when filling out online forms across multiple pages, or as a shopping cart to keep track of items a user has selected by clicking a button.)
  2. Authentication or user identification cookies (session only).
  3. User security cookies. (For example, cookies used to detect repeated failed attempts to log in to a website)
  4. Media player session cookies.
  5. Session cookies for load balancing.
  6. User interface customization cookies.
  7. Certain social sharing plug-in cookies. (The exception only applies to users who have opted to remain logged in)

Therefore, it can be understood that these cookies are excluded from the scope of application of article 22.2 of the LSSI, and, therefore, it would not be necessary to inform or obtain consent regarding their use.
