What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files received on the device from the visited website/App and are used to record certain browsing interactions on a website/App by storing data that can later be updated and retrieved. These files are stored on the user’s device and contain anonymous data that are not harmful to the device. They are used to remember user preferences, such as chosen language, access data, or customization of the website or App.
Cookies or storage devices have traditionally been associated with websites. However, they are now used both on websites and on other types of platforms and applications (e.g., apps for smartphones and tablets).
Cookies can also be used to record anonymous information about how a visitor uses a space. For example, which web/App page they accessed from, or whether they used a “banner” advertisement to reach it.
Information society services may be provided by the publisher through a platform, software application, or website/App accessed by a user from their device.
Why do we use cookies?
We use first-party and third-party cookies to analyze use of the website and show advertising based on preferences derived from the user’s browsing habits.
ATENEU INSTRUCTIU uses technical and analytics cookies so you can use our website and access secure areas, personalized options, etc. In addition, ATENEU INSTRUCTIU uses cookies that collect data related to analysis of website usage. These are used to help improve the service, measuring use and performance of the site, to optimize and personalize it.
- Google Analytics cookie: Google Analytics is a free service offered by Google Inc. that collects information about the pages visited, time, web browser, etc. This information is then sent to Google Inc. servers.
How do we use different types of cookies?
By purpose:
- Technical cookies: allow users to browse through a website, platform, or application and use the different options or services. For example, those used to maintain the session, manage response time, validate options, use security elements, and share content.
- Preference or personalization cookies: allow information to be remembered so that the user accesses the service with certain characteristics that differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as language, number of results to show in a search, or the appearance/content depending on browser type or region.
- Analytics or measurement cookies: allow the responsible party to track and analyze user behavior on websites or apps they are linked to, including measuring ad impacts. The information collected is used to measure activity with the aim of introducing improvements based on analysis of usage data.
- Advertising cookies: processed by the website administrator (or third parties) to analyze browsing habits and show advertising related to the user’s browsing profile. They allow management of advertising spaces based on specific criteria and store information obtained through continuous observation of browsing habits to develop a profile for personalized advertising.
By duration:
- Session cookies: designed to obtain and store data while the user accesses a website/App. They are typically used to store information needed to provide the requested service in a single session and disappear when the session ends.
- Persistent cookies: data remain stored on the device and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie controller, which can range from minutes to several years. When persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to reduce their duration to the minimum necessary for their purpose.
Legal obligations and cookie review
Legal obligations imposed by regulations are twofold: the transparency obligation and the obligation to obtain explicit consent from the user of the website/App.
In accordance with the nature of the business activity, the business model, and the scope of responsibility, it is recommended to review the cookies used, either internally or with the advice of specialized entities.
This review aims to identify the cookies being used, analyze whether they are first- or third-party, session or persistent, and determine their function to decide whether they fall within the scope of article 22.2 of the LSSI. Considering possible changes in cookie management and use, it is recommended to conduct this review periodically to update available information about these cookies. In any case, it is advisable that solutions implemented to comply with article 22.2 of the LSSI are technologically neutral, i.e., recognized by most browsers.
Link for cookie identification
It is advisable that the information through which cookies are managed (including how to revoke consent and delete cookies) is permanently accessible through the website, application, or online service. This requirement is considered fulfilled when the cookie management system (configuration panel or CMP) is integrated into the cookies policy itself or includes a link that leads directly to the management system or configuration panel.
Possibility of denying access to the service
There may be cases in which not accepting cookies prevents access to the website or total/partial use of the service, provided the user is properly informed and an alternative (not necessarily free) is offered to access the service without accepting cookies.
These cookies must comply with EU GDPR 2016/679, LOPDGDD-3/2018, LSSI-CE-34/2002 (latest modification 09/05/2023), and the AEPD guide on the use of cookies (July 2023) with EDPB criteria.
