4. Types of cookies
Depending on their nature or functionality, cookies are classified into the following types:
4.1. According to the entity that manages them
Depending on the entity that
manages the website from which the cookies are sent, and
which processes the data collected, the cookies are
classified as:
Own Cookies: These are the ones that are sent to the
device of the user accessing the website from the
service owner. The management of the cookies and data
processing is carried out by the provider of the web
service the user accesses.
Third-party Cookies: These are ones which, although they
are sent to the device of the user who is accessing the
website, the management of the cookies and the
processing of the data is carried out by a third-party

Depending on the time during which
the cookies remain active on the device of the user
accessing the website, they can be classified into:
Session Cookies: These are ones whose validity is
limited to the duration of the user’s session. In other
words, they collect and store the information necessary
to provide the web services while the user is browsing.
Persistent Cookies: These are ones that are stored on
the user’s access device after the user finishes using
the web services. The owner of these cookies can access
and process them for an indefinite period of time as
long as the user does not delete them from their device.
They are often used to store the preferences or the
history of a non-authenticated user of the website and
are thus able to provide the user with a personalised
experience the next time the user accesses it.

taxonomy for the cookies depending on their purpose.

sections, a reminder of the elements that make up an
order, to carry out the purchase process of an order,
use of features of the characteristics or elements of
security, storage of content for the dissemination of
images or sound, or exchange of content directly onto
social networks.
Personalisation Cookies: These are the ones that allow
the user access with a personalised configuration for
the website. They can be based on several criteria; for
example, the location of the device, the type of browser
used, the regional settings from where the service is
accessed, etc.
Analysis Cookies: These are the ones that allow the
manager of the cookies to track and analyse user
behaviour on the website. They make it possible to
determine usage trends, website activity, the number of
users in each section, etc., to develop profiles of

to determine which sections should be promoted or which
