1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small files or devices that are downloaded and stored on your terminal (i.e., the device from which you access the platform: computer, mobile phone, tablet, or any other connected device) and allow the platform or website to remember information about your visit.

In general, as outlined in the Cookie Guide published by the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD), which you can consult here, cookies can be of several types:

  • Depending on the entity that manages the equipment or domain from which the cookies are sent and processes the data obtained, we can distinguish:
    • First-party cookies: These are cookies sent to the user’s terminal from equipment or a domain managed by the platform editor, in this case, from which the service requested by the user is provided. Among their main applications, we can highlight session management, user preferences such as selected language, visual theme, accessibility settings, and site analysis and improvement, which help us identify areas for enhancement and adjust our website to better meet your needs. They are an integral component in ensuring that websites are not only easier to use but also more relevant to the interests and preferences of each user. First-party cookies focus on improving your experience on our website.
    • Third-party cookies: These are cookies sent to the user’s terminal from equipment or a domain that is not managed by the platform editor, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies. If cookies are installed from equipment or a domain managed by N4T, but the information obtained is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered N4T’s first-party cookies. In this regard, N4T may contract the services of analytics and measurement companies that measure and/or analyze users’ browsing behavior on the platform and, in this regard, act on its behalf and representation through the analysis of data obtained from these third-party cookies, with the sole aim of improving the service provided by N4T. Third-party cookies should be consulted in their respective policies to inform you about the categories of data processed. Third-party cookies can track your activity across the web, creating detailed profiles of your interests and behaviors.  
  • Depending on the purpose for which the data obtained through cookies are processed, we can distinguish between:
    • Technical Cookies: these are cookies that allow the user to navigate through the platform and use the different options or services available on it, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access information, remembering the elements that make up a request, processing the application for registration or participation in an event, using security elements during navigation, storing content for video or sound dissemination, or sharing content through social networks.
    • Analysis or measurement cookies: these are cookies that allow the responsible party to track and analyze the behavior of users of the websites to which they are linked, including the quantification of the impact of advertisements. The information collected through this type of cookie is used to measure the activity of the websites, application, or platform, with the aim of introducing improvements based on the analysis of the data regarding how users use the service.
    • Preference or personalization cookies: these are cookies that allow the platform to remember information so that the user can access the service with certain characteristics that can differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as language, the number of results to display when the user performs a search, the appearance or content of the service based on the type of browser through which the user accesses the service, or the region from which they access the service, etc.
    • Advertising Cookies: these are cookies that allow for the most efficient management of the advertising spaces that the editor may have included on a website, application, or platform from which the requested service is provided, based on criteria such as the edited content or the frequency at which the ads are displayed.
    • Behavioural advertising cookies: these are cookies that store information on the behavior of users obtained through the continuous observation of their browsing habits, allowing for the development of a specific profile to display advertising based on it.  
  • Depending on the length of time they remain activated in the terminal equipment (temporality), we can distinguish:
    • Session cookies: cookies designed to collect and store data while the user accesses the platform. Session cookies allow a website to recognize the user.
    • Persistent cookies: cookies in which the data remains stored on the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie’s responsible party, which can range from a few minutes to several years.
