- Publisher: owner of or person responsible for the website
- Third party: external entity, collaborator, service provider or provider related to the publisher, involved in the management of certain cookies
- Party responsible for the cookie: the publisher, owner of or person responsible for the website or, in some cases, the third party

WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES ARE THERE?
Depending on the entity that manages them:
Own cookies: are those sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided.
Third-party cookies: are cookies sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain that is not managed by the publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.
Depending on the length of time they remain activated in the terminal equipment:
Session cookies: are designed to collect and store data while the user visits a web page. They are usually used to store information that is only relevant for the provision of the service requested by the user on a single occasion (e.g. a list of products purchased) and disappear at the end of the session.
Persistent cookies: are cookies in which the data remain stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the party responsible for the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years.
Depending on the purpose for which the data obtained through the cookies are processed:
Technical cookies: are those that allow the user to navigate through a website, platform or application and to use the various options or services that exist in it, including those that the publisher uses to enable the management and operation of the website and enable its functions and services, such as, for example, controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing parts with restricted access, remembering the elements that make up an order, carrying out the buying process of an order, managing payment, controlling fraud linked to the security of the service, making the application for registration or participation in an event, counting visits for the purpose of billing licences for the software with which the service works (website, platform or application), using security features during navigation, storing content for broadcasting videos or sound, enabling dynamic content (for example, animation of loading a text or image) or sharing content through social networks. Also belonging to this category, due to their technical nature, are cookies that allow the management, in the most efficient way possible, of such advertising spaces as the publisher may have included on a website, application or platform as an element of the design or “layout” of the service offered to the user, based on criteria such as the content published, without collecting information from users for other purposes, such as personalising that advertising content or other content.
Preference or personalisation cookies: are cookies that allow information to be remembered so that the user can access the service with certain characteristics that can differentiate his or her experience from that of other users, such as, for example, the language, the number of results to be shown 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 he or she accesses the service, etc.
Analysis or measurement cookies: are cookies that allow the party responsible for them to monitor and analyse the behaviour of users of the websites to which they are linked, including the quantification of the impact of advertisements. The information collected through this type of cookie is used to measure the activity of the website, application or platform in order to make improvements based on the analysis of the data on the use made by users of the service.
Advertising Cookies: are those that allow the management, in the most effective way possible, of such advertising spaces as the publisher may have included on a website, application or platform from which it provides the requested service based on criteria such as the published content or the frequency with which the advertisement is shown.
Behavioural advertising cookies: are those that allow the management, in the most effective way possible, of such advertising spaces as the publisher may have included on a website, application or platform from which it provides the requested service. 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 it.
