1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are downloaded to your browser when accessing a web page. These files collect information for different purposes, for example, to enable personalised browsing, develop certain functionalities and memorise your user data, among others.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) describes cookies as a type of "online identifier" so, on certain occasions, they will collect and process personal data such as, for example, user authentication cookies, which allow you to log in to a website.

Cookies are classified taking into account several factors, mainly:

  1. Their purpose and the type of information they collect;
  2. Their persistence - that is, the time they remain installed in your browser. Cookies may be installed just for the duration of a session, or for a longer and pre-set period;
  3. Their origin, since cookies can belong to the website, or to third parties that produce advertisements or other elements and add-ons. 

In addition to cookies, there are other similar technologies for storing user information, for example, scripts, tracking pixels or other add-ons, which serve the same purpose as cookies.

Therefore, with the term "cookies" we will refer to these similar technologies, as well as cookies in the strict sense.

2. How long do cookies remain installed?

As a general rule, the duration of cookies depends on their purpose, but in any case, they will be kept for a certain proportionate and limited term according to their purpose.

Depending on the time that cookies remain in your browser, they are classified as persistent cookies or session cookies.

  • Session Cookies: These cookies expire when you leave the website, when the cookies are deleted from your browser. These cookies are used to link your actions on the website during browsing.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain stored once you leave the website, for a certain period of time, and according to the purpose of each cookie. For example, persistent cookies allow the user to remember their preferences, which apply the next time they access the website.
