Cookies are fundamental in the digital era for the functionality and improvement of the experience on websites and online platforms. Here we explain their nature, purpose and use in the context of our website.

Nature of Cookies:

2.2.-Types of cookies based on the length of time they remain enabled 

It is essential to understand the different types of cookies based on their duration in order to effectively manage privacy and user experience. Here we detail the two main types: session cookies and persistent cookies.

Session cookies:

• Temporary Functionality: These cookies are used to collect and store information only for the duration of the user's visit to the website.
• Purpose: They allow storing information necessary for the provision of services requested on a single occasion. For example, they can retain data from a form while browsing different pages of a registration or purchase process.
• Features: They are automatically deleted when the user closes their browser. This means that they do not retain user data once your session ends.

Persistent Cookies:

• Extended Duration: Unlike session cookies, these cookies remain on the user's device for a predefined period, which can vary from minutes to several years.
• Risks and Benefits: Although persistent cookies may pose greater privacy risks compared to session cookies, their responsible use can offer a more personalized and efficient user experience.
• Examples of Use: They are useful for remembering user preferences for future visits, such as language selected or configuration options.

Importance of Cookie Management:

• Compliance with Regulations: The correct categorization and management of these cookies is essential to comply with the guidelines of the AEPD and European control authorities.
• Focus on Privacy: Measures must be taken to minimize risks to user privacy, especially with the use of persistent cookies, thus ensuring respect for their rights and freedoms.

2.3.-Types of cookies according to the entity that manages them 

The classification of cookies according to the entity that manages them is essential to understand how your data is collected and treated. This section explains the difference between first-party cookies (own) and third-party cookies.

Origin or Own Cookies:

• Definition: These are cookies that are sent to the user's device from a computer or domain managed directly by the owner/publisher of the website.
• Purpose and Use: These cookies are usually essential for the operation of the website and allow functions such as maintaining the user's session, remembering language settings or shopping cart.
• Example: A cookie that saves the user's layout preferences on the owner's website.

• Example: A cookie from an advertising platform that tracks user activity across multiple websites to deliver personalized advertisements.

Special Considerations:

• Third Party Cookies Managed by the Holder: Even if cookies are set from the holder's domain, if the information collected is managed by a third party, these cookies are considered third party.
• Transparency and Consent: It is crucial to inform users about the use of third-party cookies and obtain their consent in accordance with data protection regulations.

2.5.-Cookies exempted from compliance

It is necessary to point out that cookies used for any of the following purposes are exempt from compliance with the obligations established in article 22.2 of the LSSI:

• To allow only communication between the user's equipment and the network.
• Strictly to provide a service expressly requested by the user.

In this sense, the WG29, in its Dictamen 4/201211, interpreted that among the excepted cookies would be those whose purpose: 

1. “User input” cookies (Session and user input cookies are typically used to track user actions when filling out online forms on various pages, or as a shopping cart to track items that the user has selected by clicking a button.)
2. User authentication or identification cookies (session only)
3. User security cookies. (For example, cookies used to detect erroneous and repeated attempts to connect to a website)
4. Media player session cookies
5. Load balancing session cookies
6. User interface customization cookies
7. Specific plug-in cookies for social content sharing. (The exception only applies to users who have chosen to keep the session open)

Thus, it can be understood that these cookies are excluded from the scope of application of Article 22.2 of the LSSI, and, therefore, it would not be necessary to inform or obtain consent on their use.
