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. The purpose of the cookie is to allow the website to remember your visit when you browse that page again. Although many people are unaware of it, cookies have been in use for over 20 years, since the first browsers for the World Wide Web appeared.
What is NOT a cookie?
It is not a virus, a Trojan, a worm, spam, 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 ID document or personal information, etc. The data they store is technical in 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 browsing 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 actually associating the browser, not the person.
What types of cookies are there?
- Technical cookies: These are the most basic and allow, among other things, the website to know when a human or an automated application is browsing, when an anonymous 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 doing, the sections you use most, products viewed, time of use, language, etc.
- Advertising cookies: They display advertising based on your browsing, your country of origin, language, etc.
What are own and third-party cookies?
Own 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 understand the impact that disabling cookies may have, 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 stores.
- You will not be able to access the personal area of that website, such as My account, My profile or My orders.
- Online stores: It will be impossible for you to make online purchases; they will have to be made by phone or by visiting the physical store, 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, 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 content. The website will also not be able to tell whether you are a human or an automated application that posts 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 can search for those associated with the domain in question and proceed to delete them.
