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 web page. The purpose of the cookie is to enable the website to remember your visit when you return to browse that page. Although many people are unaware of this, cookies have been in use for 20 years, since the first browsers for the World Wide Web appeared.
What isn’t a cookie?
It is not a virus, Trojan, worm, spam, spyware, or pop-up window.
What information does a cookie store?
Cookies do not usually store sensitive information about you, such as credit card or bank details, photographs, your ID number or personal information, etc. The data they store is technical in nature, such as 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 browsing the same website with Firefox or Chrome, you will see that the website does not recognise you because it is actually associating the browser, not the person.
What types of cookies are there?
- Technical cookies: These are the most basic cookies and allow us, among other things, to know when a human or an automated application is browsing, when an anonymous user is browsing and when a registered user is browsing, which are basic tasks for the functioning of any dynamic website.
- Analysis cookies: These collect information about the type of browsing you are doing, the sections you use most, products consulted, time zone of use, language, etc.
- Advertising cookies: These display advertising based on your browsing, your country of origin, language, etc.
What are first-party and third-party cookies?
First-party cookies are generated by the website you are visiting, while third-party cookies are generated by external services or providers such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, etc.
What happens if I disable cookies?
To help you understand the scope of disabling cookies, here are some examples:

- The website will not be able to perform analytics on visitors and traffic on the website, which will make it difficult for it to be competitive.
- You will not be able to write on the blog, upload photos, post comments, rate or score content. The website will also not be able to tell if you are a human or an automated application that posts spam.
- Sector-specific advertising cannot be displayed, which will reduce the website’s advertising revenue.
- All social networks use cookies, so if you disable them, you will not be able to use any social networks.
