What are cookies?
Cookies are a set of data that a server deposits in the user’s browser to collect standard Internet log information and visitor behavior data on a website. In other words, they are small text files stored on the hard drive of a computer to identify the user when reconnecting to the site. Their purpose is to record the user’s visit and save certain information. They are commonly used on websites as they enable efficient functionality and allow for greater customization and analysis of user behavior.
What types of cookies exist?
The cookies used on our website include session cookies and third-party cookies. These allow us to store and access information regarding the language, browser type, and other predefined user characteristics, as well as track and analyze user activity to make improvements and provide services more efficiently and personally.
Depending on their permanence, cookies can be divided into session cookies or permanent cookies:
- Session Cookies: These expire when the user closes their browser.

Additionally, cookies can be classified based on their purpose:
Performance Cookies:
These cookies remember your preferences for the tools provided in the services, so you don’t have to configure them again each time you visit. Examples include:
- Volume settings of video or audio players.
- Video transmission speeds compatible with your browser.
- Items stored in the “shopping cart” in e-commerce services.
Geolocation Cookies:
These cookies are used to identify the country you are in when requesting a service. They are completely anonymous and only used to help guide content to your location.
Registration Cookies:
These are generated once the user has registered or logged in and are used to identify them in the services with the following objectives:
- Keep the user identified, so if they close a service, the browser, or the computer, and later return, they remain identified without needing to log in again. This functionality can be disabled by clicking [log out], which will delete the cookie, requiring the user to log in again.
- Verify if the user is authorized to access certain services, e.g., to participate in a contest.
Additionally, some services may use social media connectors like Facebook or Twitter. When the user registers with social network credentials, they authorize the network to save a persistent cookie that remembers their identity and grants access until it expires. Users can delete this cookie and revoke access by updating their social network preferences.
Analytical Cookies:
Whenever a user visits a service, a tool from an external provider generates an analytical cookie. This cookie, only created during the visit, serves to anonymously identify the user in future visits. The main objectives are:
- Allow anonymous identification of browsing users for statistical purposes.
- Identify the most visited content to improve user experience.
- Determine if the user is new or returning.
Advertising Cookies:
These cookies allow for expanded information about the advertisements shown to anonymous users, such as the duration, frequency, interaction with ads, and user behavior. This helps create an advertising profile to deliver ads aligned with user interests.
Third-party Advertising Cookies:
In addition to ads managed by this website, third-party advertisers can also use cookies. These cookies are stored on user browsers and can be accessed by these third parties. Current services use the DoubleClick (Google) platform for these purposes. For more information, visit:

- Google Ads Privacy.
