What is a cookie?
A cookie is a harmless text file that is stored in your browser when you visit almost any web page. Its utility is that the website in question is able to remember your visit when you return to that page.
Although many people do not know it, cookies have been used since the mid-1990s, when the first browsers for the World Wide Web appeared.
What is NOT a cookie?
It is not a virus, nor a trojan, nor a worm, nor spam, nor spyware, nor does it open pop-up windows.
What information does a cookie store?
Cookies do not usually store sensitive information about you, such as credit cards or bank details, photographs, your ID or personal information, etc. The data they save are of a technical nature, personal preferences, personalization of content, etc.
The web server does not associate you as a person, but your web browser. In fact, if you usually browse with Internet Explorer and try to browse the same website with Firefox or Chrome, you will see that the website does not realize that you are the same person and returns to showing you the Cookies notice. This is because these cookies are actually associated with the browser, not the person.
In addition, cookies created by a server are only accessible to it. For example, the cookies created by Google Analytics can only be read by Google Analytics.
How do I accept the installation of cookies from this website?
If it is the first time you enter this page, you will have seen a banner informing you of the existence of these cookies. From there you can choose which cookies you want to install (you have to activate them from “Configuration”) and Save. You can also use the “Accept All” button.
If you have already closed the banner, you can access said configuration from the “Cookie Configuration” menu that appears in the menu at the end of all pages.
How do I prevent them from being installed, or remove them if I have already accepted them?
Whether it is the first time you access the website and you want to reject all or some cookies, or if you have previously given your consent and now want to revoke it, the steps to follow are the same as in the previous point. You just have to leave all the options unchecked.
If you prefer, you can also use the “Reject All” button.
Can I delete Necessary/Technical cookies?
These types of cookies are essential for the correct functioning of the website and therefore there is no option to block or delete them through the process explained above.
If you want to delete them anyway, you will have to do it from your own browser.
Each one is different, so there is no one procedure for everyone. In the following links you can see how to delete and/or block cookies in the main browsers:
What happens if I disable Necessary/Technical cookies?
So that you understand the scope of deactivating Necessary/Technical cookies, I will give you some examples:
The cookie warning will appear on every page you visit because it will not be able to save the configuration you have indicated.
You will not be able to submit forms because the reCaptcha will not work.
You will not be able to share content that you like on Facebook, Twitter or any other social network.
It will be impossible to customize your geographic preferences, such as language.
And if I disable the rest?
Well, among other things…
I will not be able to obtain statistics on the use made by visitors to the website, so among other things, I will not know what topics I should write about in the blog so that it continues to be useful to you.
You will not be able to leave comments, upload photos, rate a product or service…
The web also won’t be able to tell if you were a human or an automated application that publishes spam, so to minimize the risk, it can even block you from browsing it.
In addition, when there is an advertising campaign on social networks, it will not know if you have already seen the ad or not, if you have already interacted with it, etc. and he will keep showing it to you again and again.
