By Permanence
Cookies are classified, according to their duration or permanence, into:
- Session cookies: Expire when the user closes the browser.
- Persistent cookies: Expire when they fulfil their purpose (for example, keeping the user identified) or when manually deleted.
By Purpose

Performance cookies:
They remember your preferences for service tools, avoiding the need to reconfigure them on each visit. They include, for example:

Geolocation cookies:
They are used to determine the user's geographic location (country) when requesting a service. They are anonymous and are used solely to target content to that location.
Registration cookies:
They are generated when the user registers or logs in, and allow them to be identified in the services for the following purposes:
Keep the user identified, making navigation easier without the need to log in again on subsequent visits (unless the user logs out).
Verify if the user is authorised to access certain services (e.g. participate in a contest).
Analytical cookies:
A tool from an external provider generates an analytical cookie on the user's computer each time they visit a service. This cookie, generated on the first visit, allows the visitor to be anonymously identified on future visits. Its main objectives are:
