What are cookies?

Cookies are a data set that a server deposits in the user's browser to collect the standard Internet registration information and the information on the behavior of the visitors on a website.

Their objective is to register the user's visit and save certain information. Their use is common and frequent on the website since they allow the pages to operate more efficiently and achieve greater personalization and analysis on the user's behavior.

What types of cookies exist?

Cookies can be divided into session or permanent cookies, depending on how long they remain. The first expire when the user closes the browser. The latter expire depending on when their intended objective is fulfilled (e.g. so that the user is identified in the services of DIMAS GIMENO ÁLVAREZ) or when they are deleted manually. In addition, according to their objective, the cookies can be classified as follows:

The user can delete this Cookie and revoke the access to the services by social networks by updating their preferences on the specific social network.
