Cookies concept
Cookies are a tool used by Web servers to store and retrieve information about their visitors or users.
It is nothing more than a text file that some servers install during navigation and that allow knowing information such as: the place from which you access, the connection time, the device from which you access (fixed or mobile), the operating system and browser used, the most visited pages, the number of clicks made and data regarding user behavior on the Internet.
They do not provide references to deduce the user’s first and last name and cannot read data from their hard drive or include viruses on their computers.
Likewise, you cannot read the cookies implanted in the user’s hard drive from other servers.
Why are they important?
The website is accessible without the need for cookies to be activated, although its deactivation may prevent its correct operation.
From a technical point of view, cookies allow websites to work more agile and adapted to the preferences of users, such as storing the language, the currency of the country or detecting the access device.
They establish levels of protection and security that prevent or hinder cyberattacks against the website or its users.
They allow media managers to know statistical data collected to improve the quality and experience of their services.
They serve to optimize the advertising that we show to users, offering the one that best suits their interests.
