2. What types of cookies are there?

 

Cookies can be classified based on their duration as follows:

Session Cookies	These are cookies designed to collect and store data while the user is accessing a website. They are typically used to store information that needs to be retained solely for the purpose of providing the requested service. They expire when the user closes the browser.
Persistent cookies	These are cookies in which the data remains stored on the device and can be accessed and processed for a defined period, depending on when the purpose for which they are used is fulfilled (for example, to keep the user logged in to the Services) or when they are manually deleted.

 

Depending on their owner, they can be classified as follows:

Cookies First-party	These are cookies sent to the user’s device from a server or domain managed by the publisher itself, from which the service requested by the user is provided.
Third-party Third-Party Cookies	These are cookies sent to the user’s device from a server or domain that is not managed by the publisher, but rather by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.

 

In addition, depending on their purpose, cookies can be classified as follows:

Cookies for Preferences or Personalization	This type of cookie remembers your preferences for the tools available within the services, so you don’t have to reconfigure the service each time you visit. For example, this category includes:

Geolocation Cookies

These cookies are used to determine which country you are in when you request a service. This cookie is completely anonymous and is used solely to help tailor content to your location.

Cookies for Registration	Registration cookies are generated once a user has registered or subsequently logged in, and are used to identify the user within the services for the following purposes:
		To keep the user logged in so that, if they close a service, their browser, or their computer, and then return to that service at a later time or on another day, they will remain logged in, thereby facilitating their browsing experience without having to log in again. This functionality can be disabled if the user clicks the “log out” button, which deletes this cookie; the next time the user accesses the service, they will need to log in to remain logged in.
		Verify whether the user is authorized to access certain services, such as participating in a contest.

Cookies for Analytics or Measurement	Each time a User visits a service, a tool from a third-party provider generates an analytics cookie on the user’s computer. This cookie, which is generated only during that visit, will be used during subsequent visits to the Website’s services to anonymously identify the visitor. The main objectives are:
		To enable the anonymous identification of website users through “cookies” (which identify browsers and devices, not individuals) and, therefore, to estimate the number of visitors and track trends over time.
		Anonymously identify the most-visited content and, therefore, the content that is most appealing to users.
		Determine whether the user accessing the site is a new visitor or a returning visitor.
		Important: Unless the user chooses to register for a service on the website, the “cookie” will never be linked to any personally identifiable information. These cookies will only be used for statistical purposes to help optimize the user experience on the site.
