MORE INFORMATION ABOUT COOKIES

What is a cookie?
A cookie is a harmless text file that is stored in your browser when you visit almost any website. Its purpose is for the website to be able to remember your visit when you browse that site again. Although many people do not know it, cookies have been in use for 20 years, since the first browsers for the World Wide Web 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 national ID number or personal information. The data they store is technical, about personal preferences, content personalisation, and so on.

The web server does not associate you as a person, but your web browser. In fact, if you usually browse with Internet Explorer and try to browse the same website with Firefox or Chrome, you will see that the website does not realise you are the same person, because it is actually associating the browser, not the person.

What types of cookies are there?

• Technical cookies: These are the most basic ones. They allow, among other things, the site to know whether a human or an automated application is browsing, whether the user is anonymous or registered, and other basic tasks needed for any dynamic website to work.
• Analytics cookies: They collect information about the type of browsing you are doing, the sections you use most, products viewed, time of day 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 those generated by the page you are visiting. Third-party cookies are those generated by external services or providers such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, and so on.

What happens if I disable cookies?
To help you understand the effect of disabling cookies, here are some examples:

• You will not be able to share content from that website on Facebook, Twitter or any other social network.
• The website will not be able to adapt its content to your personal preferences, as often happens in online shops.
• You will not be able to access the personal area of that website, such as My account, My profile or My orders.
• Online shops: You will be unable 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 customise your geographic preferences such as time zone, currency or language.
• The website will not be able to carry out web analytics on visitors and traffic, which will make it harder for the website to be competitive.
• You will not be able to write on the blog, upload photos, post comments, or rate or score content. The website will also not be able to know whether you are a human or an automated application posting spam.
• Targeted advertising cannot be shown, which will reduce the website’s advertising revenue.
• All social networks use cookies. If you disable them, you will not be able to use any social network.
