Types of cookies
Depending on the entity managing the domain from which the cookies are sent and processing the data obtained, two types can be distinguished: first-party cookies and third-party cookies.
There is also a second classification based on the length of time they remain stored in the user’s browser; these can be session cookies or persistent cookies.
Finally, there is another classification with five types of cookies based on the purpose for which the data collected is processed: technical cookies, personalisation cookies, analytics cookies, advertising cookies and behavioural advertising cookies.
