CONCEPT OF COOKIES

Cookies are a tool used by web servers to store and retrieve information about their visitors or users. They are nothing more than a text file that some servers install during browsing and that allow information to be known, 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 other data about user behavior on the Internet.

Cookies do not provide references that allow the user's name and surname to be deduced, nor can they read data from their hard drive or include viruses in their computers. Likewise, they cannot read the cookies implanted on 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 their deactivation may prevent correct operation.
From a technical point of view, cookies allow websites to function more agilely and adapted to user preferences, for example: storing the language, the country's currency or detecting the access device.
They allow protection and security levels to be established that prevent or make cyberattacks against the website or its users difficult.
They help media managers collect statistical data to improve the quality and experience of services.
They serve to optimize the advertising shown to users, offering that which best suits their interests.
