In general, and as stated in the Cookies Guide published by the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD), which can be consulted here herecookies can be of various types:

  • Depending on the entity that manages the equipment or domain from which the cookies are sent and processes the data obtained, we can distinguish
  • First-party cookies: These are those that are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the platform editor, in this case, the one from which the service requested by the user is provided.
  • Third-party cookies: These are those that are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain that is not managed by the Platform’s editor, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies. In the event that the cookies are installed from a computer or domain managed by TECSIDEL, but, nevertheless, the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered TECSIDEL‘s own cookies. In this sense, TECSIDEL may contract the services of analysis and measurement companies that measure and/or analyse the browsing behaviour of users on the platform and, in this sense, act in its name and on its behalf, through the analysis of the data obtained from the use of cookies by these third parties, all with the sole objective of improving the service provided by TECSIDEL.
  • Depending on the purpose for which the data obtained through cookies are processed, we can distinguish between:
  • Technical Cookies: These are those that allow the user to browse the platform 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 information, remembering the elements that make up an application, making an application for registration or participation in an event, using security elements during browsing, storing content for the broadcasting of videos or sound or sharing content through social networks. 
  • Functional or personalisation cookies: These cookies allow the user to access the service with certain predefined general characteristics depending on a series of criteria in the user’s terminal, such as, for example, the language, the type of browser used to access the service, or the regional configuration from which the service is accessed, among others.
  • Analysis cookies: These cookies allow the party responsible for them to monitor and analyse the behaviour of the users of the websites to which they are linked. The information collected through this type of cookie is used to measure activity on the platform and to create browsing profiles of the users of these sites, applications and platforms, in order to introduce improvements based on the analysis of the data on the use made by users of the service.
  • Advertising Cookies: These are those that allow the management, in the most effective way possible, of the advertising spaces that, where appropriate, the editor has included on a website, application or platform from which the requested service is provided based on criteria such as the edited content or the frequency at which the advertisements are shown.
  • Behavioural advertising cookies: These cookies enable the management, in the most effective way possible, of the advertising spaces that, where appropriate, the publisher has included on a website, application or platform from which the requested service is provided. These cookies store information on the behaviour of users obtained through the continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows a specific profile to be developed in order to display advertising based on the same.
