Cookies Policy
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a harmless text file that is stored in your browser when you visit almost any website. Its purpose is to allow the website to remember your visit when you return to navigate that page. Although many people are unaware of this, cookies have been used for over 20 years, since the first browsers for the World Wide Web appeared.
What is NOT a cookie?
It is not a virus, a Trojan, a worm, spam, spyware, nor does it open pop-up windows.
What information does a cookie store?
Cookies do not usually store sensitive information about you, such as credit cards or bank details, photographs, your ID, or personal information. The data they keep is technical, related to personal preferences, content personalization, etc.
The web server does not associate you as a person, but rather your web browser. In fact, if you regularly browse with Internet Explorer and try to browse the same website with Firefox or Chrome, you will see that the website does not realize you are the same person because it is actually associating the browser, not the person.
What types of cookies exist?
- Technical cookies: These are the most basic and allow, among other things, to know when a human or an automated application is browsing, and when an anonymous or registered user is browsing—basic tasks for the functioning of any dynamic website.
- Analysis cookies: They collect information about the type of browsing you are doing, the sections you use the most, products viewed, time slot of use, language, etc.
- Advertising cookies: They display advertising based on your browsing, country of origin, language, etc.
What are first-party and third-party cookies?
First-party cookies are those generated by the page you are visiting, and third-party cookies are those generated by external services or providers such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, etc.
What happens if I disable cookies?
To help you understand the potential impact of disabling cookies, here are some examples:
- You will not be able to share content from that website on Facebook, Twitter, or any other social network.
- The website will not be able to adapt content to your personal preferences, as often happens in online stores.

- The website will not be able to perform web analytics on visitors and traffic, making it difficult for the site to be competitive.
- You will not be able to write on the blog, upload photos, post comments, or rate content. The website will also not know if you are a human or an automated application posting spam.
