WHAT ARE COOKIES?
A cookie is a text file that a web server can save to your computer’s hard drive to store certain information about you as a user. Cookies are used for various purposes, such as storing data for future visits, recognising the user and avoiding the need to log in again, tracking which pages you visit, or saving your preferences in customisable sections… Websites typically use cookies to gather statistical information about their web pages and to analyse the behaviour of their customers/users.
Cookies used for any of the following purposes are exempt from the obligations set out in Article 22.2 of the LSSI:
To enable communication solely between the user’s device and the network.
Strictly to provide a service expressly requested by the user.
Thus, the exempted cookies include those intended for:
‘User input’ cookies. These are cookies stored on the user’s device when the user enters information on a website. For example, when filling in a web form.
User authentication or identification cookies (session-only). Their function is to identify a user when they enter their credentials upon logging in.
User security cookies. These are cookies that detect security issues or risks. For example, those that detect incorrect and repeated attempts to log in.
Media player session cookies. These enable multimedia content to be played on the websites the user visits. For example, videos that play automatically upon entering a website are authorised by this type of cookie.
Session cookies for load balancing. These connect the website’s server to the user’s device so that information can be transmitted between them.
User interface customisation cookies. These are cookies that remember users’ preferences whilst they are browsing a website. For example, the language; the chosen browser; etc.
Certain plug-in cookies for sharing social media content. These are used when the user visits social media platforms via a website. For example, when sharing a website article on social media.
The specific ways in which we use these technologies are described in the following sections.
TYPES OF COOKIES
Cookies can be classified according to the following criteria:
Depending on who sets the cookie, they may be:
First-party cookies: These are sent to the user’s device from a server or domain managed by the website operator itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided.
Third-party cookies: These are cookies sent to the user’s device either from a server or domain managed by us or by a third party, but the information collected by the cookies is managed by a third party other than the website owner.
Depending on their retention period, cookies may be:
Session cookies: These last for as long as the user is browsing the website and are deleted when they finish browsing.
Persistent cookies: These remain stored on the user’s device for a longer period, thereby facilitating the management of selected preferences without having to repeat certain settings each time the website is visited.
Depending on their purpose, cookies can be:
Technical cookies: Technical cookies are those that are essential and strictly necessary for the proper functioning of a website and the use of the various options and services it offers. For example, those used to maintain a session, those that enable the use of security features, and those that allow content to be shared on social media, etc.
Personalisation cookies: These allow the user to choose or customise features of the website, such as the language, regional settings or browser type.
Analytical cookies: These are used by websites to create browsing profiles and identify users’ preferences in order to improve the range of products and services on offer. They enable the monitoring of geographical areas of greatest interest to a user, the most popular content on the website, etc.
Advertising cookies: These are cookies that store information on users’ behaviour, obtained through the continuous monitoring of their browsing habits, which enables a specific profile to be developed so that adverts can be displayed based on this profile.
