Our website uses a technology called “cookies” to gather information about how the website is used, improve the user experience, and ensure that it functions properly.
Definition of a Cookie
A “cookie” is a small piece of text that websites send to the browser and that is stored on the user’s device (computer or mobile device). These files are intended to store data that can be updated and retrieved by the entity responsible for their installation. Thus, every time the user revisits the same website, the browser retrieves the file and sends it to the website’s server. Cookies serve various functions, including collecting and remembering information about user preferences, and generally making the website easier to use by personalizing its content.
Cookies can be classified based on different parameters:
1. – Ownership: first-party cookies and third-party cookies: depending on which entity manages the domain from which the cookies are sent and processes the data obtained.
2. – Duration: session cookies and persistent cookies: based on the length of time they remain stored on the user’s device.
3. – Purpose: technical cookies, preference or personalization cookies, analytics or measurement cookies, and behavioral advertising cookies, based on the purpose for which the collected data is processed.
§ Technical cookies: These are cookies that allow the user to navigate the website or application and use the various options or services available on it. For example, they control traffic and data communication, identify the session, or provide access to restricted areas of the website.
§ Preference or personalization cookies: These are cookies that allow information to be remembered so that the user can access the service with certain characteristics that may differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as, for example, 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.
§ Analytics or measurement cookies: These are cookies that allow the controller to track and analyze the behavior of users on the websites to which they are linked, including the quantification of ad impact. The information collected through this type of cookie is used to measure the activity of the websites, application, or platform, with the aim of making improvements based on the analysis of how users interact with the service.
§ Behavioral advertising cookies: These are cookies that store information about user behavior obtained through the continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows for the development of a specific profile to display advertising based on this profile.
