What are cookies?
Cookies are text files that are placed on your computer to collect standard internet log information and visitor behavior data. When you visit our websites, we may automatically collect information from you through cookies or similar technology.
Depending on how long they remain active, cookies can be:
- Session Cookies: These are short-lived, typically lasting only until the browser is closed or shortly thereafter, disappearing without leaving a trace on your device. Their purpose is usually to store some variables or data for short-term use, facilitating navigation and improving usability. These are the ones we use the most, allowing features such as adding items to the cart, not having to refill a form if you go back a step, and so on.
- Persistent Cookies: These last longer, although always with a defined expiration date (they have a deletion date). They are typically used to store data that, for various purposes, is useful to keep for a longer period. For example, they remember your username so that you don’t have to log in every time you visit.
Depending on who manages them, cookies can be:
-
First-party Cookies: These are managed exclusively by us, with the aim of facilitating navigation, proper website use, and the purchasing process.
-
Third-party Cookies: These are sent by an entity other than us, which is responsible for processing the data. For example, Google is our analytics provider and helps us better understand user behavior in aggregate form (never individually).
Depending on their nature or purpose, cookies can be:
- Technical Cookies: Essential for the proper functioning of the website or some features. These are mostly first-party cookies that we use to improve our service. Basic functions such as remembering the products added to the cart or recognizing your user account each time you log in are examples.
- Analytical Cookies: These allow us to quantify users and analyze their browsing behavior in an aggregated and anonymous way. They are usually third-party cookies that provide data on which pages are most visited, at what time, from which devices—information that helps us improve our website layout and understand which aspects are most interesting or where there may be navigation issues.
