What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in the user’s browser, making it easier to browse a website. It is essential to the functioning of the internet.
Cookies are used, for example, to validate website registrations (remembering username and password); remember options such as size, language and browser used; analyse the user’s habits and behaviour in order to improve the services offered; or adapt a website’s content to the visitor’s preferences.
Types of cookies
According to the entity that manages them:
- First-party cookies: These are cookies for which the website owner is responsible. They are normally sent to the user’s terminal equipment from equipment managed by the website owner itself and from which the requested service is provided.
- Third-party cookies: These are cookies for which an entity other than the website owner is responsible. They are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from equipment or a domain that is not managed by a third party other than the website owner.
According to their purpose:
- Technical or strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly and cannot be disabled in FOODIVERSE’s systems. They are usually configured to respond to actions requested by the user, such as adjusting privacy preferences, logging into the website or completing forms, completing the process of purchasing an order or managing payment.
You can configure your browser to block these cookies or alert you to their presence, but some parts of the website will not work.
These cookies do not store personally identifiable information and are generally exempt from the obligation to obtain consent, in accordance with article 22 of the Ley de Servicios de la Sociedad de la Información y del Comercio Electrónico (LSSI). - Analytics or measurement cookies: These cookies enable the monitoring and analysis of a user’s behaviour on the website. The information collected through these cookies is used to measure activity on the website in order to make improvements based on analysis of the data.
- Marketing or behavioural advertising cookies: These cookies store information about the user’s behaviour obtained by observing browsing habits, developing a specific profile in order to display advertising based on that analysis.
- Preference or personalisation cookies: These cookies make it possible to remember information so that the user accesses the service with certain characteristics that help differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as the language or the number of results displayed when the user performs a search.
