Information on cookies

Cookies are files that are stored on your computer when you access a website and are necessary for the site to work properly. Cookies help to improve your browsing experience through the site and allow tracking the activity of users visiting the site or allow a user to interact with the social networks, among other functions.

There are different types of cookies:

  • session cookies or transient cookies (stored on your computer while you navigate the website),

  • persistent cookies (stored on your computer during a defined period of time, based on each cookie),

  • cookies that are necessary for the site to work properly,

  • analytical cookies (stored to analyse your activity), and

  • third-party cookies (cookies belonging to other services used in the website to provide functionalities such as Twitter, Facebook or Google, etc.),

Below is our Cookies Policy and a list of the cookies used in xarxanet.org.

Cookies policy

A cookie is a small file that is stored on the user’s computer and that allows us to recognise the computer. The set of cookies help us to improve the quality of our website, and allows us to track which pages are useful for the visitors and which aren’t.

Cookies are essential for the Internet to work; they bring advantages to the provision of interactive services, facilitate navigation and the operability of the website. Cookies will not damage your device; on the contrary, they help us to identify and fix errors.

The information provided next will help you better understand the different types of cookies:

  • Session cookies: these are transient cookies that only remain on your browser cookie file until you leave the website and therefore none of these cookies are registered on your device’s hard drive. The information obtained is useful to track the user’s browsing patterns. In the long-term, this will allow us to give a better experience to optimise the contents and facilitate content use.

  • Persistent cookies: these are stored on the hard drive and our website reads them every time you visit it. These cookies have a determined expiry date after which they stop working. Here you will find a list of the main cookies used by our site, in three categories:

    • Strictly necessary cookies, for instance, the ones used for a correct navigation or ones allowing us to provide the services requested by the user; or cookies used to make sure that the contents on the site are loaded effectively.

    • Third-party cookies, for instance, the ones used by social networks or by external content complements.

    • Tracking cookies, to compile statistical information on the user activity.
