Depending on which entity manages the domain from which the cookies are sent and processes the data obtained, two types can be distinguished:

• First-party cookies: Those that are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a device or domain managed by the publisher itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided.
• Third-party cookies: Those that are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a device or domain that is not managed by the publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.

If the cookies are installed from a device or domain managed by the publisher itself but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered first-party cookies.

There is also a second classification according to the length of time they remain stored in the client’s browser, which may be:

• Session cookies: Designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website. They are usually used to store information that only needs to be kept for the provision of the service requested by the user on a single occasion (e.g. a list of purchased products).
• Persistent cookies: The data remains stored on the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the controller of the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years.

Finally, there is another classification with six types of cookies according to the purpose for which the data obtained is processed:

• Technical cookies: Those that allow the user to navigate through a website, platform or application and use the different options or services that exist on it such as, for example, controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access areas, remembering the elements that make up an order, carrying out the purchase process of an order, making the request for registration or participation in an event, using security elements while browsing, storing content for the dissemination of videos or sound, or sharing content through social networks.
• Personalization cookies: They allow the user to access the service with some general predefined characteristics based on a series of criteria in the user’s terminal such as, for example, language, the type of browser through which they access the service, the regional configuration from which they access the service, etc.
• Analytics cookies: They allow the party responsible for them to monitor and analyze the behavior of users of the websites to which they are linked. The information collected through this type of cookies is used to measure the activity of websites, applications or platforms and to create browsing profiles of the users of said sites, applications and platforms, in order to introduce improvements based on the analysis of the usage data made by users of the service.
• Advertising cookies: They allow the management, in the most efficient way possible, of advertising spaces.
• Behavioral advertising cookies: They store information on users’ behavior obtained through the continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows a specific profile to be developed to display advertising based on it.
• External social network cookies: They are used so that visitors can interact with the content of different social platforms (facebook, youtube, twitter, linkedIn, etc.) and are generated only for users of those social networks. The conditions of use of these cookies and the information collected are regulated by the privacy policy of the corresponding social platform.
