In general, and as stated in the Cookies Guide published by the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD), which can be consulted here cookies can be of various 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 those that are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the platform editor, in this case, from the one from which the service requested by the user is provided.
  • Third-party cookies: These are those that are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain that is not managed by the Platform’s editor, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies. In the event that the cookies are installed from a computer or domain managed by SCI, but, nevertheless, the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered as SCI’s own cookies. In this sense, SCI may contract the services of analysis and measurement companies that measure and/or analyse the browsing behaviour of users on the platform and, in this sense, act in its name and on its behalf, through the analysis of the data obtained from the use of cookies by these third parties, all with the sole objective of improving the service provided by SCI.
