What are they used for?

As a general rule, they are used to make the website more efficient and easier to use, contributing to a navigational advantage in the provision of interactive services. However, depending on the type of cookie, they can also be used to analyse performance and behaviour, as well as for advertising space management. From a technical point of view, they allow websites to function in a more agile manner and adapted to user preferences, such as saving the language, the currency of the country or detecting the access device, establishing levels of protection and security that prevent or hinder cyber attacks against the website or its users. They allow media managers to know the statistical data collected to improve the quality and experience of their services. They serve to optimise the advertising displayed to users, offering that which is most suited to their interests.
