The objects saved in the “shopping cart” in e-commerce services such as stores.

Geo-location cookies

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 for the following purposes:

Keep the user identified so that, if they close a service, browser or computer and at another time or another day they re-enter said service, they will continue to be identified, thus facilitating their navigation without having to identify themselves again. This functionality can be deleted if the user clicks on the [logout] functionality, so 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 for a service with credentials from a social network, they authorize the social network to save 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

Allow the anonymous identification of browsing users through the cookie (it identifies browsers and devices, not people) and therefore the approximate accounting of the number of visitors and their trend over time.
Anonymously identify the most visited content and therefore most attractive to users. Know if the user who is accessing is new or repeating a visit.
