1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

A cookie is a text file that a web server can save on your computer’s hard drive to store some kind of information about you as a user. Cookies are used for various purposes such as storing data for future visits, to recognize the user and avoid asking for authentication again, to know which pages you visit, or to save your preferences in customizable areas…). Normally, websites use cookies to obtain statistical information about their web pages, and to analyze the behavior of their clients/users.

Cookies used for any of the following purposes are exempt from compliance with the obligations established in article 22.2 of the LSSI:

• Allow only communication between the user’s computer and the network.
• Strictly provide a service expressly requested by the user.

Thus, among the exempted cookies would be those whose purpose is:

• “User input” cookies. These are stored on the computer when the user enters information on a website. For example, when filling out a web form.
• Authentication or user identification cookies (session only). Their function is to identify a user when they enter their credentials when logging in.
• User security cookies. These are cookies that detect security problems or risks. For example, those that detect repeated failed login attempts.
• Multimedia player session cookies. These cookies allow multimedia content to be played on the websites that the user visits. For example, videos that play automatically when entering a website are authorised by this type of cookie.
• Session cookies for load balancing. They connect the website server and the user’s server so that information can be transmitted between them.
• User interface customization cookies. These are cookies that remember users’ preferences while browsing a website. For example, the language; the browser chosen; etc.
• Certain social sharing plug-in cookies. These are used when the user visits social networks via a website. For example, when sharing an article from a website on social networks.

The specific uses we make of these technologies are described in the following sections.

Third-party cookies: These are cookies that are sent to the user’s terminal equipment either from a computer or domain managed by us or by a third party, but the information collected from the cookies is managed by a third party other than the owner of the website.

Depending on their retention period, cookies may be:

Session cookies: These cookies last as long as the user is browsing the website and are deleted when browsing ends.

Depending on their purpose, cookies may be:

For example, session maintenance cookies, those that allow the use of security elements, sharing content with social networks, etc.

Personalization cookies: These allow the user to choose or customize features of the website such as language, regional settings or browser type.

They allow the monitoring of geographic areas of greatest interest to a user, the most popular information on the website, etc.

Advertising/publicity cookies: These are cookies that store information on user behaviour obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows the development of a specific profile to display advertising based on this.
