Cookie Concept
Cookies are a tool used by web servers to store and retrieve information about their visitors or users.
They are simply text files that some servers install during browsing, allowing them to gather information such as: the location from which the user accesses, connection time, the device used (desktop or mobile), the operating system and browser used, the most visited pages, the number of clicks made, and data related to the user’s behavior on the Internet.
They do not provide references that allow identifying the user’s name and surname, and they cannot read data from the user’s hard drive or include viruses in their devices.
Furthermore, they cannot read cookies implanted on the user’s hard drive from other servers.
Why are they important?
The website is accessible without the need for cookies to be enabled, although disabling them may prevent it from functioning properly.
From a technical standpoint, cookies allow websites to operate more smoothly and be tailored to the user’s preferences, such as storing the language, the country’s currency, or detecting the access device.
They establish protection and security levels that prevent or hinder cyberattacks against the website or its users.
They enable media managers to access statistical data gathered to improve the quality and experience of their services.
They help optimize the advertisements shown to users, offering the ones that best suit their interests.
Authorization for the use of cookies
A Cookie Notice appears on the website, which the user or visitor can accept, explicitly consenting to the use of cookies as described below.
The user can configure their browser to reject all cookies by default or to receive a notification on the screen for each cookie received and decide whether to install them on their hard drive or not.

The user browsing the website may find cookies inserted directly by the owner or cookies inserted by entities other than the owner, as detailed in the following sections:
– Session Cookies, which expire when the user leaves the page or closes the browser, i.e., they are active while the visit to the website lasts and are therefore deleted from our computer once it is abandoned.
– Permanent Cookies, which expire when the goal for which they were set is fulfilled or when they are manually deleted. They have an expiration date and are typically used in online shopping processes, customizations, or logins to avoid having to constantly enter a password.
Depending on the entity managing the equipment or domain from which the cookies are sent and processes the data obtained, we can distinguish between First-party Cookies and Third-party Cookies.

– Third-party Cookies are set when the user interacts with content on our website (for example, by pressing social media buttons or viewing videos hosted on another website).
