PERFORMANCE COOKIES
This type of cookie remembers your preferences for the tools found in the services, so you do not have to reconfigure the service each time you visit. For example, this includes: Volume settings for video or sound players, video transmission speeds that are compatible with your browser, and items saved in the "shopping cart" in e-commerce services such as stores.
GEO-LOCATION COOKIES
These cookies are used to determine in which country you are located when requesting a service. This cookie is completely anonymous and is only used to help direct content to your location.
REGISTRATION COOKIES
Registration cookies are generated once the user has registered or subsequently opened their session, and are used to identify them in the services with the following objectives:
Keep the user identified so that if they close a service, the browser, or the computer and later return to the service, they will remain identified, thus facilitating navigation without having to log in again. This functionality can be removed if the user clicks the [log out] button, in which case this 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 in 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 services until it expires. The user can delete this Cookie and revoke access to services through social networks by updating their preferences in the specific social network.
ANALYTICS COOKIES
Every time a user visits a service, an external provider's tool generates an analytical cookie on the user's computer. This cookie, which is only generated during the visit, will serve in future visits to the services to anonymously identify the visitor. The main objectives are:
Allow anonymous identification of navigating users through the cookie (identifies browsers and devices, not individuals), and therefore provide an approximate count of visitors and their trends over time.
Identify anonymously the most visited content and therefore the most attractive to users, and determine whether the user accessing is new or returning.
Important: Unless the user decides to register for a service, the cookie will never be associated with any personal data that could identify them. These cookies will only be used for statistical purposes that help optimize the user experience on the site.
ADVERTISING COOKIES
This type of cookie allows extending the information of the ads shown to each anonymous user in the services. Among other things, it stores the duration or frequency of viewing of advertising positions, interaction with them, or user navigation patterns and/or behavior as they help to form a profile of advertising interest. In this way, it allows offering advertising related to the user's interests.
THIRD-PARTY ADVERTISING COOKIES
In addition to the advertising managed by websites, websites offer their advertisers the option to serve ads through third parties ("Ad-Servers"). In this way, these third parties can store cookies sent from the services of originating from the users' browsers and access the data stored in them.
The companies that generate these cookies have their own privacy policies. Currently, websites use the Doubleclick platform (Google) to manage these services. For more information, visit
