More information about cookies

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a harmless text file stored in your browser when you visit almost any website. The purpose of the cookie is to let the site remember your visit when you come back to that page. Although many people do not know it, cookies have been used for 20 years, since the first World Wide Web browsers appeared.

What is a cookie NOT?

It is not a virus, a trojan, a worm, spam or spyware, and it does not open pop-up windows.

What information does a cookie store?

Cookies do not usually store sensitive information about you, such as credit cards or bank details, photographs, your ID document or personal information. The data they keep is technical, personal preferences, content personalisation, and so on.

The web server does not associate you as a person, but your web browser. If you usually browse with Internet Explorer and then try the same site with Firefox or Chrome, the site will not realise that you are the same person, because it is associating the browser, not the person.

What types of cookies are there?

Technical cookies: these are the most basic. Among other things, they make it possible to know when a human is browsing or an automated application, and when an anonymous user is browsing or a registered one. These are basic tasks for any dynamic website.

Analytics cookies: they collect information about the type of browsing you are doing, the sections you use most, products viewed, time of use, language, and so on.

Advertising cookies: they show advertising based on your browsing, your country of origin, language, and so on.

What are first-party and third-party cookies?

First-party cookies are generated by the page you are visiting, and third-party cookies are generated by external services or providers such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, and so on.

What happens if I disable cookies?

• So that you understand what disabling cookies can mean, here are some examples:
• You will not be able to share content from that site on Facebook, Twitter or any other social network.
• The website will not be able to adapt content to your personal preferences, as usually happens in online shops.
• You will not be able to access the personal area of that site, such as My account, My profile or My orders.
• Online shops: you will not be able to buy online. Purchases would have to be made by phone or by visiting the physical shop, if there is one.
• It will not be possible to personalise your geographic preferences, such as time zone, currency or language.
• The website will not be able to run web analytics on visitors and traffic, which will make it harder for the site to be competitive.
• You will not be able to write on the blog, upload photos, publish comments or rate content. The site will also be unable to tell whether you are a human or an automated application posting spam.
• Segmented advertising cannot be shown, which will reduce the site’s advertising income.
• All social networks use cookies. If you disable them, you will not be able to use any social network.

Can cookies be deleted?

Yes. You can delete them and also block them, either in general or for a specific domain.

To delete the cookies of a website, go to your browser settings, find the ones linked to that domain and delete them.
