What are cookies?

Cookies are data about the user of a website that are stored on the user's computer and the information is retrieved when you browse the same website.

There are several types of cookies, depending on who manages them, and the computer or domain from which the cookies are sent and process the data obtained, we can know or distinguish between them:

Own cookies: These are those that are sent to the user's terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the same publisher and from which the service requested by the user is provided.

Third-party cookies: These are those that are 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 cookies.

In the event that cookies are installed from a computer or domain managed by the same publisher, but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they can not be considered as their own cookies.

They are usually used to store information that is only of interest to keep for the provision of the service requested by the user on a single occasion (eg a list of purchased products).
