What are cookies?
Cookies are sets of data that a server deposits in the user’s browser to collect standard Internet login information and visitor behavior information on a website. In other words, they are small text files stored on the computer’s hard drive that serve to identify the user when they reconnect to the website. Their purpose is to record the user’s visit and store certain information. Their use is common and frequent on the web as it allows websites to function more efficiently and obtain greater personalization and analysis of user behavior.
What Types of Cookies Exist?

They also enable us to track and analyze the user’s activity to introduce improvements and provide our services in a more efficient and personalized manner.
Cookies can be divided into session or permanent cookies based on their duration. Session cookies expire when the user closes the browser, while permanent cookies expire based on when they fulfill their purpose (e.g., to keep the user identified in María Hevilla González’s services) or when manually deleted.

Additionally, depending on their objective, cookies can be classified as follows:
Performance Cookies
This type of cookie remembers your preferences for the tools found in the services, so you don’t have to reconfigure the service each time you visit. Examples include volume settings for video or audio players, video streaming speeds compatible with your browser, and items saved in the shopping cart in e-commerce services such as online stores.
Geolocation Cookies
These cookies are used to determine the country you are in when a service is requested. This cookie is completely anonymous and is only used to help tailor content to your location.
Login Cookies
Login cookies are generated once the user has registered or subsequently logged in. They are used to identify the user in the services with the following objectives:
Maintain user identification so that if they close a service, the browser, or the computer and later return to the service at another time or another day, they will still be identified, facilitating navigation without having to log in again. This functionality can be suppressed if the user clicks the [log out] function, so the cookie is deleted, and the next time the user enters the service, they will have to log in to be identified.
Check if the user is authorized to access certain services, for example, to participate in a contest.
Additionally, some services may use connectors with social networks such as Facebook or Twitter. When the user registers for a service with credentials from a social network, they authorize the social network to store a persistent cookie that remembers their identity and guarantees access to the services until it expires. The user can delete this cookie and revoke access to the services through social networks by updating their preferences on the specific social network.
Analytics Cookies
Every time a user visits a service, a tool from an external provider generates an analytical cookie on the user’s computer. This cookie, which is only generated during the visit, will serve on subsequent visits to María Hevilla González’s services to anonymously identify the visitor. The main objectives pursued are:
Allow the anonymous identification of browsing users through the cookie (identifies browsers and devices, not individuals) and therefore approximate counting of the number of visitors and their trend over time.
Anonymously identify the most visited content and therefore the most attractive to users. Know if the user accessing is new or a repeat visitor.
Important: Unless the user decides to register for a service of María Hevilla González, the cookie will never be associated with any personally identifiable information. Such cookies will only be used for statistical purposes to help optimize the user experience on the site.
Advertising Cookies
This type of cookie expands the information on ads shown to each anonymous user in María Hevilla González’s services. Among other things, it stores the duration or frequency of displaying advertising positions, interaction with them, or user browsing patterns and/or behaviors, as they help shape an advertising interest profile. Thus, they allow offering advertising related to the user’s interests.
Third-Party Advertising Cookies
In addition to the advertising managed by María Hevilla González’s websites in its services, these websites offer advertisers the option to serve ads through third parties (“Ad-Servers”). In this way, these third parties can store cookies sent from María Hevilla González’s services from users’ browsers, as well as access the data stored in them.
The companies that generate these cookies have their own privacy policies. Currently, the websites of María Hevilla González use the Doubleclick platform (Google) to manage these services. For more information, please visit:
