What are Cookies?

A cookie is a file or device that is downloaded to a user’s terminal equipment in order to store data that can be updated and retrieved by the entity responsible for its installation. In other words, it is a file that is downloaded to your computer when you access certain web pages. Cookies allow a web page, among other things, to store and retrieve information about the browsing habits of a user or their equipment and, depending on the information they contain and the way in which they use their equipment, they can be used to recognise the user.

Information about cookies

«User input» cookies
Authentication or user identification cookies (session only).
User security cookies
Multimedia player session cookies.
Load balancing session cookies.
User interface personalisation cookies.
Certain plug-in cookies for sharing social content

Thus, it can be understood that these cookies are excluded from the scope of application of article 22.2 of the LSSI, and, therefore, it would not be necessary to inform or obtain consent for their use. On the contrary, it will be necessary to inform and obtain consent for the use of any other type of cookies, both first and third party, session or persistent, that do not fall outside the scope of application of article 22.2 of the LSSI and for which the guidelines in this guide will be useful.

That said, for reasons of transparency, it is recommended to inform, at least in a generic way, about those cookies excluded from the scope of application of article 22.2 of the LSSI, either in the cookie policy or in the privacy policy itself (example: «This website uses cookies that allow the operation and provision of the services offered on it»).

In any case, it should be taken into account that the same cookie may have more than one purpose (multipurpose cookies), so there is the possibility that a cookie is exempt from the scope of application of article 22.2 of the LSSI for one or more of its purposes and not for others, the latter being subject to the scope of application of said precept. This should, in the words of the WP29, “encourage website owners to use a different cookie for each purpose”

In relation to the cookie management or configuration systems referred to later in this guide, when multi-purpose cookies are used for two or more different purposes and not exempted from the scope of application of article 22.2 of the LSSI, it must be ensured that these cookies are only used if all the purposes they group are accepted, that is, if a cookie serves two purposes, but the user only accepts one of them, the cookie should not be used, unless the management system used allows for a differentiated treatment of the different purposes of these multi-purpose cookies, so that it is possible that if the user accepts one of its purposes and not others, the cookie only operates with the accepted purpose.

Cookies according to the period of time they remain activated

There are different types of cookies depending, above all, on their nature, so they are classified as a guide, among others, the following
