What do we understand by technologies similar to cookies?

Similar technologies are understood as any type of data storage and retrieval mechanism that is used in the user's device to obtain information. The most common include:

  • The local storage of the browser. Some websites use local storage called "sessionStorage" and "localStorage", as well as the browser's indexed database, to store information;

  • The local storage of browser plug-ins, such as Flash local storage (“Flash Local Shared Objects”) or Silverlight local storage (“Isolated Objects”).

  • The "web beacon" is a tracking technique that consists of inserting an image hosted on an Internet server in a web page (or in an email) so that, when the browser or mail program connects to said server to download and display the image, the connection is registered. This allows knowing that the user has viewed the web page or the email. Sometimes this image is very small or transparent so that the user is not aware of its existence.

  • Fingerprinting techniques that combine information obtained from the browser or navigation equipment to distinguish a user in his successive visits to different websites.

What are third party cookies? Who are the recipients of the information?

The cookies on this website can be classified, depending on who creates them, into two categories:

  • Own cookies: they are created and managed from our sites and web domains, the information obtained being managed directly or indirectly by us for our own purposes.

The following section lists the third-party features and functions used on this website.

How long are cookies or similar technologies active?

Depending on their permanence or time of activity, we can differentiate between:

  • temporary session cookies; they remain stored in the navigation equipment until the user leaves the web page; the browser deletes them at the end of the browsing session.

  • Persistent cookies; They remain in the navigation equipment and the web reads them each time the user makes a new visit. These cookies are automatically deleted after a certain period of time, which can be short or very long.
