2.6. What is an information society service?

4. Types of Cookies
4.1 There are different types of cookies depending on who manages them:
- First-party cookies: These are cookies for which the publisher is responsible and which are generally sent to the user’s device from a server or domain managed by the publisher itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided.
- Third-party cookies: These are cookies for which an entity other than the publisher is responsible and which are generally sent to the user’s device from a server or domain that is not managed by the publisher, but rather by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.
It is noted that in cases where cookies are served from a server or domain managed by the publisher itself, but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered first-party cookies if the third party uses them for its own purposes.
4.2. Depending on their purpose, they can be classified as follows:
4.2.1 Technical or functional cookies
These are cookies that allow users to navigate a website, platform, or application and use the various options or services available on it, including those that the publisher uses to manage and operate the website and enable its features and services, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, etc. Thus, and in accordance with this, some cookies serve to ensure that certain parts of the website function correctly and that your user preferences continue to be remembered. By placing functional cookies, we make your visit to our website easier. This way, you do not need to repeatedly enter the same information when you visit our website, and, for example, items remain in your shopping cart until you have paid. Functional cookies do not require explicit consent from users.
4.2.2 Preference or personalization cookies
These are cookies that store information so that users can access the service with specific settings that may differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as language, the number of results to display when the user performs a search, etc.
4.2.3. Marketing/tracking cookies or behavioral advertising.
These are cookies that store information about users’ behavior obtained through the continuous monitoring of their browsing habits, which allows for the creation of a specific profile to display targeted advertising. Therefore, marketing/tracking cookies are cookies—or any other form of local storage—used to create user profiles for the purpose of displaying targeted advertising or tracking users on this website or across multiple websites for similar marketing purposes.
4.2.4. Analytics, measurement, or statistics cookies
These are cookies that allow the party responsible for them to track and analyze the behavior of users on the websites to which they are linked, including measuring the impact of advertisements. The information collected through these types of cookies is used to measure the activity of websites, applications, or platforms, with the aim of making improvements based on the analysis of how users interact with the service. Thus, these cookies provide information about website usage.
4.3. Depending on how long they remain active
- Session cookies: These are cookies designed to collect and store data while the user is visiting a website. They are typically used to store information that is only needed to provide the service requested by the user on a single occasion and are deleted when the session ends.
- Persistent cookies: these are cookies in which the data remains stored on the device and can be accessed and processed for a period determined by the cookie issuer, which can range from a few minutes to several years.
