What are cookies?
Cookies are a set of data that a server deposits in the user’s browser to collect standard Internet log information and information on visitor behavior on a website. In other words, these are small text files stored on the computer’s hard drive, used to identify the user upon returning to the website. Their purpose is to record the user’s visit and save certain information. Their use is common and frequent on the web as it allows pages to operate more efficiently and to obtain greater personalization and analysis of user behavior.
What types of cookies do we use?
The cookies used on our website are session and third-party cookies, allowing us to store and access information about the language, browser type used, and other general characteristics predefined by the user, as well as to monitor and analyze user activity to introduce improvements and provide our services more efficiently and personalized.
Depending on their permanence, cookies can be divided into session or persistent cookies. Session cookies expire when the user closes the browser. Persistent cookies expire based on the purpose for which they serve (for example, to keep the user logged in to services) or are deleted manually.
Additionally, depending on their purpose, cookies can be classified as follows:
- Performance Cookies: These remember your preferences for tools found in services so you don’t have to reconfigure the service each time you visit. Examples include: volume settings for video or sound players, compatible video transmission speeds for your browser, or items saved in the “shopping cart” in e-commerce services.
- Geolocation Cookies: These are used to determine which country you are in when requesting a service. This cookie is completely anonymous and only used to help tailor content to your location.
- Registration Cookies: Generated once the user has registered or subsequently logged in, they are used to identify the user in services with the following purposes:
- Keeping the user identified so that if the service, browser, or computer is closed, and the user returns later, they will remain identified, easing navigation without needing to log in again. This functionality can be removed by selecting [log out], eliminating this cookie and requiring the user to log in again to be identified.
- Checking if the user is authorized to access certain services, such as to participate in a contest.
- Some services may also use connectors with social networks like Facebook or Twitter. When the user registers with credentials from a social network, they authorize the social network to save a persistent cookie that remembers their identity and grants access to the services until expiration.The user can delete this cookie and revoke access to the services via social networks by updating preferences on the specific social network.
- Analytics Cookies: Each time a user visits a service, a tool from an external provider generates an analytical cookie on the user’s computer. This cookie, generated only on the visit, will serve in future visits to identify the visitor anonymously. The main objectives are:
- Allowing anonymous identification of browsing users (identifies browsers and devices, not people) to approximate visitor counts and trends over time.
- Identifying anonymously the most visited content, thus more attractive to users.
- Knowing if the accessing user is new or a repeat visitor.
Note: Unless the user registers for a service, the cookie is not associated with any personal data that could identify them. These cookies are solely used for statistical purposes to optimize user experience on the site.
- Advertising Cookies: These cookies expand information on advertisements shown to each anonymous user on services, including ad display duration, frequency, interaction, or user navigation and/or behavior patterns that help form an advertising interest profile. They allow for ads that align with user interests.
- Third-Party Advertising Cookies: Besides advertising managed by the website in its services, advertisers on the website can serve ads through third-party “Ad-Servers.” These third parties can store cookies sent from the website’s services from user browsers and access the data stored in them.
How can I disable cookies in my browser?
Browsers can be configured to notify users upon cookie receipt and, if desired, prevent installation. Users can also review installed cookies and their expiration dates in their browser and delete them if preferred.
