- What is a Cookie?:
A Cookie is a small text file that a website, App or other platform stores on your computer, tablet, smartphone or any other similar device, with information about your browsing or use, such as a tag that identifies your device. Cookies are necessary, for example, to facilitate navigation and to know the way in which users interact with the platforms, so that they can be improved. They are also very useful to be able to offer advertising according to the user’s preferences, as well as for other purposes that are detailed below. Cookies do not harm your computer or device.
When we talk about “Cookies” we also refer to other similar technologies for the installation and/or collection of information on or about your device (such as flash cookies, web beacons or bugs, pixels, HTML5 (local storage), and SDK technologies for app formats. Likewise, the term “Cookies” also applies to the use of fingerprinting techniques, that is, those techniques of combining information that help us identify your device. Sometimes, these technologies work in conjunction with cookies to collect and store information, either to provide you with certain functionalities or services on our Platform, or to show you advertising on third-party platforms, taking into account your browsing. This explanation is a general sample of what is meant by Cookies for informational purposes only.

- What types of Cookies are there?:
Depending on the owner of the Cookies, they can be classified into:

- Third-party cookies: They are those that are sent to the user’s computer or device from a computer or domain that is not managed by the publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through cookies.
Depending on the purpose of the Cookie, they can be classified into:
- Strictly necessary (technical) cookies: They are those that allow the user to browse through a website, platform or application and to use the different options or services that exist in them, such as, for example, controlling traffic, identifying data or the session, accessing sections or content with restricted access, remembering the elements that make up an order, carry out the process of purchasing an order, manage payment, control fraud linked to the security of the service, use security elements while browsing, make the request for registration or participation in an event, store content for the dissemination of videos or sound, enable dynamic content (for example, animation of loading a text or image) or share content through social networks. Technical cookies, being strictly necessary, are downloaded by default when they allow the platform to be displayed or the service requested by the user to be provided.
- Functionality or personalisation cookies: These cookies are those that allow information to be remembered so that the user can access the service or platform with certain characteristics that may differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as, for example, the language, the number of results to be displayed when the user performs a search, the appearance or content of the service depending on the type of browser used by the user or the region from which the service is accessed, etc. Failure to accept these Cookies may result in slow website performance or poorly tailored recommendations.
- Analysis cookies: These are those that allow quantifying the number of users, the sections visited on the platform and how they interact with it, in order to measure and statistically analyse the use made by users, in order to introduce improvements based on the analysis of the usage data made by users of the platform or service.
- Behavioural advertising cookies: They are those that store information on user behaviour obtained through the continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows a specific profile to be developed to display advertising based on this. These cookies allow the management, in the most efficient way possible, of the advertising spaces that, where appropriate, the publisher has included directly or in collaboration with third parties.
