Further 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. The usefulness of the cookie is that the website is able to remember your visit when you browse that page again. Although many people are not aware of 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, nor does it 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 identity document or personal information, etc. The data they save is of a technical nature: personal preferences, content personalisation, etc.
The web server does not associate you as a person but rather 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 that you are the same person, because it is in fact associating the browser, not the person.
What types of cookies are there?
- Technical (strictly necessary) cookies: These are the most basic and allow, among other things, knowing when a human or an automated application is browsing, and when an anonymous user or a registered user is browsing; basic tasks for the operation of any dynamic website.
- Analytics cookies: They collect information about the type of browsing you are carrying out, the sections you use most, products viewed, time slot of use, language, etc.
- Advertising cookies: They display advertising on the basis of your browsing, your country of origin, language, etc.
What are first-party and third-party cookies?
First-party cookies are those generated by the page you are visiting, and third-party cookies are those generated by external services or providers such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, etc.
What happens if I disable cookies?
So that you may understand the effect that disabling cookies can have, we set out some examples below:
- You will not be able to share content from this website on Facebook, Twitter or any other social network.
- The website will not be able to adapt its content to your personal preferences, as usually happens in online shops.
- You will not be able to access the personal area of this website, such as My account, My profile or My orders.
- Online shops: It will be impossible for you to make online purchases; these will have to be made by telephone or by visiting the physical shop, if there is one.
- It will not be possible to personalise your geographical preferences such as time zone, currency or language.
- The website will not be able to carry out web analytics on visitors and traffic on the site, which will make it more difficult 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. Nor will the website be able to know whether you are a human or an automated application posting spam.
- It will not be possible to display targeted advertising, 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.
Can cookies be deleted?
Yes. Not only deleted, but also blocked, either generally or specifically for a particular domain.
To delete the cookies of a website you must go to your browser settings, where you may search for those associated with the domain in question and proceed to delete them.
