Concept of Cookies

Cookies are a tool used by web servers to store and retrieve information about their visitors or users.

They are simply text files that some servers install during browsing and allow the collection of information such as: the location from which you access the site, connection time, the device used (desktop or mobile), the operating system and browser used, the most visited pages, the number of clicks made, and data regarding the user’s behavior on the Internet.

They do not provide any information that could reveal the user’s full name and cannot read data from your hard drive or include viruses on your devices.

Likewise, they cannot read cookies stored on the user’s hard drive by other servers.

Why are they important?

The website is accessible without the need for cookies to be enabled; however, disabling them may prevent the site from functioning correctly.

From a technical standpoint, cookies allow websites to operate more smoothly and be tailored to users’ preferences, such as storing language settings, country currency, or detecting the access device.

They establish protection and security levels that prevent or hinder cyberattacks against the website or its users.

They allow site managers to gather statistical data to improve the quality and experience of their services.

They help optimize the advertising shown to users, offering ads that best match their interests.
