2. DEFINITION AND GENERAL FUNCTION OF COOKIES
WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are fundamental in the digital era for the functionality and enhancement of the user experience on websites and online platforms. Here we explain their nature, purpose, and use in the context of our website.
Nature of Cookies
- Definition: Cookies are small text files that websites store in the user’s browser. They are created when a user visits a website, online store, intranet, online platform, or similar.
- Functionality: They allow the website to remember user actions and preferences, such as login details, language, font size, and other display settings.
Purposes and Benefits
-
Variety of Uses: Cookies may serve multiple purposes, including:
- User Recognition: Facilitating user identification and personalization during subsequent visits.
- Browsing Behavior Analysis: Collecting information about the user’s browsing preferences and behavior.
- Content Personalization: Adjusting the presentation of content according to the user’s preferences and needs.
- Practical Example: A user visiting an online store may benefit from cookies that remember their shopping cart, display preferences, and previously viewed products.
Use of Cookies by Lift Asset Management
- Specific Application: In section 3 of this policy, we will specifically detail how Lift Asset Management uses these technologies to improve your experience on https://lift-am.com.
TYPES OF COOKIES ACCORDING TO THE LENGTH OF TIME THEY REMAIN ACTIVE
It is essential to understand the different types of cookies based on their duration in order to effectively manage privacy and the user experience. Below, we outline the two main types: session cookies and persistent cookies.
Session Cookies
- Temporary Functionality: These cookies are used to collect and store information only for the duration of the user’s visit to the website.
- Purpose: They allow information necessary for the provision of services requested on a single occasion to be stored. For example, they may retain form data while navigating through different pages of a registration or purchase process.
- Characteristics: They are automatically deleted when the user closes their browser. This means they do not retain user data once the session ends.
Persistent Cookies
- Extended Duration: Unlike session cookies, these cookies remain on the user’s device for a predefined period, which may range from minutes to several years.
- Risks and Benefits: Although persistent cookies may pose greater privacy risks compared to session cookies, their responsible use can provide a more personalized and efficient user experience.
- Examples of Use: They are useful for remembering user preferences for future visits, such as selected language or configuration options.
Importance of Cookie Management
- Regulatory Compliance: The correct categorization and management of these cookies is essential to comply with the guidelines of the Spanish Data Protection Agency and European supervisory authorities.
- Privacy-Focused Approach: Measures must be taken to minimize risks to user privacy, especially when using persistent cookies, thereby ensuring respect for their rights and freedoms.
TYPES OF COOKIES ACCORDING TO THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES THEM
The classification of cookies according to the entity that manages them is essential to understanding how your data is collected and processed. This section explains the difference between first-party (own) cookies and third-party cookies.
First-Party or Own Cookies
- Definition: These are cookies that are sent to the user’s device from a computer or domain managed directly by the owner/editor of the website.
- Purpose and Use: These cookies are usually essential for the operation of the website and enable functions such as maintaining the user session, remembering language settings, or saving a shopping cart.
- Example: A cookie that stores the user’s design preferences on the website of the owner.
Third-Party Cookies
- Definition: These are cookies sent to the user’s device from a computer or domain that is not managed by the owner/editor of the website, but by another entity.
- Common Use: These cookies are often used for analytics, advertising, and tracking user behavior across different websites.
- Example: A cookie from an advertising platform that tracks user activity across multiple websites in order to provide personalized advertising.
Special Considerations
- Third-Party Cookies Managed by the Owner: Even if cookies are installed from the owner’s domain, if the information collected is managed by a third party, these cookies are considered third-party cookies.
- Transparency and Consent: It is crucial to inform users about the use of third-party cookies and to obtain their consent in accordance with data protection regulations.
TYPES OF COOKIES ACCORDING TO THEIR PURPOSE

COOKIES EXEMPT FROM COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATIONS
It should be noted that cookies used for any of the following purposes are exempt from compliance with the obligations established in Article 22.2 of the LSSI:
- Allowing communication solely between the user’s device and the network.
- Strictly providing a service expressly requested by the user.
In this regard, the Article 29 Working Party (WP29), in its Opinion 4/2012 , interpreted that the following cookies would be considered exempt:
- “User input” cookies: Session and user input cookies are usually used to track user actions when filling in online forms across several pages, or as a shopping cart to track items selected by the user by clicking a button.

- Certain plug-in cookies for social content sharing: The exemption only applies to users who have decided to keep their session open.
Accordingly, it may be understood that these cookies are excluded from the scope of application of Article 22.2 of the LSSI and, therefore, it would not be necessary to inform users or obtain their consent for their use.
