• Strictly necessary (technical): These are essential for the correct functioning of the page. They are normally generated when the user accesses the website or logs in to it and are used to identify the user on the website with the following objectives (Level 1):
• To keep the user identified so that, if he/she leaves the website, browser or device and at another time returns to the website, he/she will continue to be identified, thus facilitating navigation without having to identify him/herself again.
• To check whether the user is authorised to access certain services or areas of the website.
• Performance: These are used to improve the browsing experience and optimise the functioning of the website, for example, to store service configurations, or to store the purchase made in a shopping cart (Level 1).

• Anonymous: They only collect information about the advertising spaces shown on the website, regardless of the user accessing the website, i.e. without expressly identifying the user.
• Personalised: They collect personal information about the user of the website by a third party, for the personalisation of these advertising spaces.
• Geo-localisation: These are used to find out in which country or region the user is located when accessing a website service in order to offer content or services appropriate to their location (Level 2).
• Analytical (analytics): These collect statistical data for processing and presentation. They collect information about the user’s browsing experience on the website, usually anonymously, although sometimes they also allow the user to be uniquely and unequivocally identified in order to obtain reports on users’ interests in the services offered by the website (Level 2).
• Registration: Maintain sessions of registered users on the website (Level 1).
• Personalisation: Saves the user’s viewing preferences for future visits (Level 1).
