Types of Cookies

There are different types of cookies. They all work in the same way but there are small differences between them:

1. Session Cookies. Session cookies last only as long as your visit and they are deleted when you close your browser. Their main purpose is to identify the type of device and support the security of the website or its basic functions. They do not contain personal information that enables us to identify someone.
2. Persistent or Permanent Cookies: They are stored on the hard disk of your device and our website reads them every time you visit it; they have a pre-determined expiry date, after which the cookie stops working. They enable us to identify your actions and preferences; they analyse your visits and help us understand how users reach our web page and how we can improve our services.
3. Functional Cookies: Enable users to remember the decisions they made, such as their login details and password. The information collected by these cookies is anonymous (that is, they do not contain your name, address or any other details).
4. Third Party Cookies. Third Party cookies are the cookies installed by a website that you are not browsing on; for example, the ones used by social media (like Facebook) or by external content plug-ins (like Google Maps). Some advertising companies also use these kinds of files to monitor your visits to every website where they advertise.
5. Analytical Cookies: The purpose of these cookies is to carry out regular maintenance and ensure users get a better function and service; they do this by compiling data about your activity.
