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 a cookie is to allow the website to remember your visit when you return to browse that page.

Although many people do not know this, cookies have been used for more than 20 years, since the first browsers for the World Wide Web appeared.

What is NOT a cookie?

It is not a virus, trojan, 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 card or personal information, etc. The data they store is technical in nature, personal preferences, content customization, 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 realize that you are the same person, because it is actually associating the information with the browser, not the person.

What types of cookies are there?

Technical cookies: These are the most basic cookies and allow, among other things, the website to know when a human or an automated application is browsing, when an anonymous user or a registered user is browsing, and to perform basic tasks for the operation of any dynamic website.

Analytics cookies: These collect information about the type of browsing you are doing, the sections you use most, products viewed, time period of use, language, etc.

Advertising cookies: These display advertising based on your browsing, country of origin, language, etc.

What are first-party and third-party cookies?

First-party cookies are generated by the page 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 impact that disabling cookies may have, here are some examples:

– The website will not be able to perform web analytics on visitors and traffic, which will make it difficult for the website to remain 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 know whether you are a human or an automated application posting spam.

– Targeted advertising will not be displayed, reducing the website’s advertising revenue.

All social networks use cookies. If you disable them, you will not be able to use any social network.
