  • First-party cookies: these are cookies that are sent to the user’s computer from a computer or domain managed by the website itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided.
  • Third-party cookies: these are sent to the user’s computer from a computer or domain that is not managed by the website itself, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.

Cookies installed from a computer or domain managed by the website itself but the information collected through these is managed by a third party are not considered first-party cookies.

There is another classification depending on the length of time that cookies remain stored in the client’s browser:

  • Session cookies: their purpose is to collect and store data while the user accesses a website. They are usually used to store information that only needs to be kept for the provision of the service requested by the user on a single occasion (for example, a list of products purchased).
  • Persistent cookies: the data remains stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the party responsible for the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years. 

The following classification depends on the purpose for which the data obtained are processed:

  • Technical cookies: these allow the user to browse a website, platform or application and use the different options or services that exist on it, including, for example, controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access areas, remembering the elements of an order, carrying out the purchasing process of an order, applying for registration or participation in an event, using security elements during browsing, storing content for the broadcasting of videos or sound or sharing content through social networks.
  • Personalisation cookies: these allow the user to access the service with certain predefined general characteristics depending on a series of criteria in the user’s terminal, such as the language, the type of browser used to access the service, the regional configuration from which the service is accessed, etc.
  • Analysis cookies: these cookies allow the party responsible for them to monitor and analyse user behaviour on the websites to which they are linked. The information collected through this type of cookies is used to measure the website, application or platform activity and to create browsing profiles of the users of these sites, applications and platforms, in order to introduce improvements based on the analysis of the usage data of the users of the service.
  • Advertising cookies: these are cookies that allow the management of advertising spaces in the most efficient way possible.
  • Behavioural advertising cookies: their mission is to store information on user behaviour gathered through the continuous observation of user browsing habits, which makes it possible to develop a specific profile in order to display advertising based on this information.
