What are cookies?

A cookie is a small piece of text that websites you visit send to your browser, allowing the site to remember information about your visit, such as your preferred language and other settings. This helps make your next visit easier and enhances your overall experience. Cookies play a crucial role in improving user navigation and providing a more seamless browsing experience.

Types of Cookies

Depending on the entity managing the domain from which the cookies are sent and processing the collected data, cookies can be classified into two types: first-party cookies and third-party cookies.

There is also a second classification based on how long they remain stored in the user’s browser:

  • Session cookies, which are temporary and expire when you close your browser.
  • Persistent cookies, which remain stored for a defined period before being deleted.

Lastly, cookies can be categorized into five types based on their purpose:

  • Technical cookies: Essential for website functionality.
  • Personalization cookies: Adapt the website to user preferences.
  • Analytics cookies: Collect data on user behavior for statistical analysis.
  • Advertising cookies: Manage ad placements.
  • Behavioral advertising cookies: Track user activity to display personalized ads.

For more details, you can refer to the Guide on the Use of Cookies published by the Spanish Data Protection Agency.

Cookies Used on the Website

Below is a list of the cookies used on this website, along with their types and functions:

The website of the Ministry of the Interior uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service developed by Google that allows the measurement and analysis of website navigation. You may notice cookies from this service in your browser. Based on the classifications mentioned earlier, these are first-party, session, and analytics cookies.

Through web analytics, information is gathered regarding the number of users accessing the site, the number of pages viewed, visit frequency and repetition, session duration, the browser used, the service provider, language settings, the device used, and the city associated with the user’s IP address. This data helps improve and optimize the website’s services.

To ensure anonymity, Google anonymizes the collected data by truncating IP addresses before storing them. As a result, Google Analytics does not collect or track personally identifiable information from site visitors. Google may only share this information with third parties when legally required. According to Google Analytics’ service terms, Google does not associate users’ IP addresses with any other stored data.

Additionally, a technical cookie called JSESSIONID is downloaded. This cookie stores a unique session identifier, allowing the system to link data necessary for the current navigation session.

Lastly, a first-party, technical, session cookie named cc_cookie is used to manage user consent for cookies. It helps remember which users have accepted cookies, ensuring that those who have already given consent do not see the cookie notification banner at the top of the page again.
