What are cookies?
Cookies are a set of data that a server deposits in the user’s browser to collect standard Internet registration information and information on the behavior of visitors on a website. That is, they are small text files that are stored on the computer’s hard drive and that serve to identify the user when they connect to the website again. Its purpose is to record the user’s visit and save certain information. Its use is common and frequent on the web because it allows pages to work more efficiently and achieve greater personalization and analysis of user behavior.
What types of cookies are there?
Cookies, depending on their permanence, can be divided into session or permanent cookies. The first ones expire when the user closes the browser. The second ones expire depending on when the objective for which they serve is fulfilled (for example, so that the user remains identified in the ISENSI services) or when they are manually deleted. Additionally, depending on its purpose, cookies can be classified as follows:
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. As an example, this typology includes: Volume adjustments of video or sound players. The video transmission speeds that are compatible with your browser. The objects stored in the «shopping cart» in the e-commerce services such as stores.
Geo-location cookies
These cookies are used to find out what country you are in when a service is requested. This cookie is completely anonymous, and is only used to help guide the 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 you in the services with the following objectives:
Keep the user identified so that, if a service closes, the browser or the computer and at another time or another day enters the service again, it will remain identified, facilitating its navigation without having to be identified again. This functionality can be suppressed if the user presses the [close session] functionality, so that this cookie is deleted and the next time it enters the service the user 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 of a social network, he authorizes the social network to keep a persistent Cookie that remembers his identity and guarantees him 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 in the social network that they specify.
Analytics cookies
Each time a user visits a service, a tool from an external provider generates an analytic cookie on the user’s computer. This cookie, which is only generated during the visit, will serve in future visits to the ISENSI services to identify the visitor anonymously. The main objectives that are pursued are:
Allow the anonymous identification of the navigating users through the cookie (identifies browsers and devices, not people) and therefore the approximate count of the number of visitors and their tendency in time.
Identify anonymously the most visited content and therefore more attractive to users. Know if the user that is accessing is new or repeat visit.
Important: Unless the user decides to register in an ISENSI service, the cookie will never be associated with any personal data that can identify him. These cookies will only be used for statistical purposes that help optimize the experience of users on the site.
Advertising cookies

Among others, the duration or frequency of displaying advertising positions, the interaction with them, or the browsing patterns and / or user behaviors are stored, since they help to shape a profile of advertising interest. In this way, they allow to offer advertising related to the interests of the user.
Third-party advertising cookies
In addition to the advertising managed by the ISENSI websites in their services, the ISENSI websites offer their advertisers the option of serving ads through third parties («Ad-Servers»). In this way, these third parties can store cookies sent from the ISENSI services from the users’ browsers, as well as access the data stored therein.
The companies that generate these cookies have their own privacy policies. Currently, the ISENSI websites use the Doubleclick (Google) platform to manage these services. For more information, go to
