• Aggregated information: Non-nominal information, typically numerical, provided for statistical purposes.
• Terminal equipment: The device from which the user accesses the service, such as a personal computer, mobile phone, tablet, etc., from which the information is obtained.
• Information society service: Any service provided at the individual request of a user, for a fee or not, remotely and electronically, provided that, for the purposes of this guide, it constitutes an economic activity for the publisher, whose provision results in the use of cookies.
• Publisher: The responsible party or owner of the website.
• Third-party: An external entity, collaborator, service provider, or related to the publisher, involved in the management of some cookies.
• Cookie controller: The publisher, responsible party, owner of the website, or even the third party in some cases.

WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES EXIST?
According to the entity that manages them:

• First-party cookies: These are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a device or domain managed by the publisher and from which the requested service is provided.
• Third-party cookies: These are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a device or domain not managed by the publisher but by another entity that processes the data obtained through cookies.

According to the length of time they remain activated on the terminal equipment:

• Session cookies: Designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a webpage. They are typically used to store information only for the duration of the service requested by the user on a single occasion (e.g., a list of purchased products) and disappear at the end of the session.
• Persistent cookies: These cookies store data in the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a defined period by the cookie controller, which can range from a few minutes to several years.

According to the purpose for which the data obtained through cookies are processed:

• Technical cookies: These allow the user to navigate a webpage, platform, or application and use the different options or services available, including those used by the publisher to manage and operate the website and enable its functions and services. For example, controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, remembering items in an order, processing a purchase, managing payment, controlling fraud related to service security, requesting registration or participation in an event, counting visits for billing purposes of software licenses used to operate the service (website, platform, or application), using security elements during navigation, storing content for video or sound broadcasting, enabling dynamic content (e.g., text or image loading animation), or sharing content through social networks. Also included in this category, due to their technical nature, are cookies that allow the most efficient management possible of the advertising spaces that the publisher has included on a webpage, application, or platform based on criteria such as edited content, without collecting information from users for different purposes, such as personalizing that advertising content or others.
• Preference or personalization cookies: These allow the website to remember information so that the user can access the service with certain features that can differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as language, the number of results to display when the user performs a search, the appearance or content of the service depending on the type of browser through which the user accesses the service, or the region from which the service is accessed.
• Analytics or measurement cookies: These allow the responsible party to track and analyze the behavior of users of the websites to which they are linked, including quantifying the impact of advertisements. The information collected through these cookies is used to measure the activity of websites, applications, or platforms, with the aim of making improvements based on the analysis of the usage data of users of the service.
• Advertising cookies: These allow for the most effective management possible of advertising spaces that the publisher may have included on a webpage, application, or platform from which the requested service is provided based on criteria such as edited content or the frequency at which ads are displayed.
• Behavioral advertising cookies: These allow for the most effective management possible of advertising spaces that the publisher may have included on a webpage, application, or platform from which the requested service is provided. These cookies store information on user behavior obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, allowing for the development of a specific profile to display advertising based on that profile.
