Our website http://www.gscsal.com/ (hereinafter “Website”) uses a technology called “cookies” to collect information about the use of the Website, in accordance with Article 22 of the LSSI.
Cookies are small files that websites, online stores, intranets, online platforms, or similar store in the user’s browser. They allow previously stored information to be retrieved and provide countless advantages for web navigation, enhancing interactive services and providing relevant information to the website owner.
3. Classification of cookies
The following classification of possible types of cookies is offered for guidance as they are the most common, helping to better understand their functions:
3.1 Types of cookies by managing entity
Depending on who manages the device or domain from which cookies are sent and processes the obtained data, we can distinguish:
- First-party cookies: Sent to the user’s terminal from a device or domain managed by the website owner and providing the service requested by the user.
- Third-party cookies: Sent to the user’s terminal from a device or domain not managed by the website owner, but by another entity that processes the data collected via the cookies.
If cookies are served from a device or domain managed by the website owner, but the information collected is processed by a third party for its own purposes (e.g., improving services or providing advertising services for other entities), they cannot be considered first-party cookies.
3.2 Types of cookies by purpose
There are many purposes for using cookies. Depending on the purpose for which the data collected is processed, cookies can be:
- Technical cookies: Enable user navigation through a website, platform, or application and the use of its features, including managing the website’s functionality and services (e.g., traffic control, session identification, access to restricted areas, remembering order items, purchase processes, payment, fraud control, event registration, software license usage, security features, media playback, dynamic content, or social sharing). Technical cookies are exempt from the obligations of Article 22.2 of the LSSI when they provide a service requested by the user. If used for non-exempt purposes (e.g., behavioral advertising), they are subject to obligations.
- Preference or personalization cookies: Remember information to allow users to access the service with specific characteristics that may differentiate their experience, such as language, number of search results, display preferences, or regional settings. If the user selects these characteristics, the cookies are exempt from Article 22.2 obligations as they serve a requested service.
- Analytics or measurement cookies: Allow tracking and analysis of user behavior on websites, applications, or platforms, including ad impact measurement. They help improve services based on usage analysis. When first-party cookies process aggregated data solely for statistical purposes, they present minimal privacy risk.
- Behavioral advertising cookies: Store information about users’ browsing behavior to create a profile and display targeted advertising.
3.3 Types of cookies by duration
Depending on how long they remain active on the user’s device:
- Session cookies: Designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website. They are usually used for temporary information (e.g., a shopping cart) and disappear at the end of the session.
