PERFORMANCE COOKIES

  • volume settings for video or sound players
  • video transmission speeds that are compatible with the browser being used
  • the objects saved in a “shopping cart” in E-commerce Services, such as shops

GEOLOCATION COOKIES

These cookies are used to identify which country the user is in when they request a service. This cookie is completely anonymous and is used only to help orient the contents to the location.

REGISTRATION COOKIES

Registration cookies are generated once the user has registered or when they have logged in for a session, and they are used for identification in the services, for the following purposes:

To keep the user logged in. This way, if the services, browser or computer are closed, and then the user returns to the services later or on a different day, they will be recognized. This makes browsing easier since users do not have to log in again. This functionality can be stopped if the user clicks on “End session”, which causes this cookie to be deleted. In that situation, the next time they go into the services, the user will have to log in again to be identified.

To check if the user is allowed access to certain services.

Additionally, some services may use connectors to social networks, like Facebook and Twitter. When the user registers for a service using social network credentials, they authorize the social network to save a permanent cookie, which remembers their identity and guarantees them access to the services until it expires. The user can delete this cookie and withdraw access to the services through social networks by updating their preferences on the specified social network.

ANALYTICS COOKIES

Every time a user visits a service, a tool belonging to a third-party provider (Prestashop, etc.) generates an analytics cookie on the user’s computer. This cookie, which is only generated during the visit, will be used during future visits to the services to anonymously identify the visitor. The main purposes for doing this are:

To enable anonymous identification of users browsing the website, through the cookie (it identifies browsers and devices, not people), and, consequently, obtain an estimation of the number of visitors and their use trends over time.

Anonymously identify the most-visited contents and, therefore, the ones that are the most attractive for users

To know whether the user of the website is a new or repeat visitor.
