1. What are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are generated on the user's computer and allow us to know their frequency of visits, the most selected content and the security elements that may intervene in the control of access to restricted areas, as well as the display of advertising based on criteria predefined by SOMBREROS MENGUAL, SL and that are activated by cookies served by said entity or by third parties that provide these services on behalf of SOMBREROS MENGUAL, SL.

As a general rule, the following types of cookies exist.

Depending on the entity that manages the domain from which the cookies are sent and processes the data obtained, two types can be distinguished:

  • First-party cookies: those that are sent to the user's terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided.
  • Third-party cookies: those that are sent to the user's terminal equipment from a computer or domain that is not managed by the publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.

If cookies are installed from a computer or domain managed by the publisher, but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered as first-party cookies.

There is also a second classification based on the length of time they remain stored in the client's browser , which can be:

  • Session cookies: designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website. They are typically used to store information that is only needed to provide the service requested by the user on a single occasion (e.g., a list of purchased products).
  • Persistent cookies: the data remains stored on the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie owner, which can range from a few minutes to several years.

Finally, there is another classification with six types of cookies according to the purpose for which the data obtained is processed:

  • Technical Cookies: Technical or necessary cookies are essential for our website to function correctly and include basic functionalities such as identifying the session or giving registered users access to restricted areas. For these reasons, technical cookies cannot be disabled.

  • Marketing Cookies: Marketing cookies are used to analyze your behavior while visiting the website and so that, from time to time, other providers can offer you personalized and relevant advertising based on your browsing profile.
  • Third-party social media cookies: These are used to allow visitors to interact with content from different social media platforms (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.) and are only generated for users of those social networks.
