Serena, information on types of cookies:
What are Cookies?
A cookie is a file or device that is downloaded to the terminal equipment of a user in order to store data that can be updated and retrieved by the entity responsible for its installation. In other words, it is a file that is downloaded to your computer when you access certain web pages. Cookies allow a website, among other things, store and retrieve information about browsing habits of a user or your computer and, depending on the information they contain and the way you use your computer, can be used to recognize the user.
Information about cookies
User login” cookies
User authentication or identification cookies (session only).
User security cookies
Media player session cookies.
Session cookies for load balancing.
User interface customization cookies.
Certain plug-in cookies to exchange social content.
Thus, it can 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 or obtain consent for their use. On the contrary, it will be necessary to inform and obtain consent for the use of any other type of cookies, both first-party and third-party, session or persistent, which do not fall outside the scope of application of article 22.2 of the LSSI and on which the guidelines in this guide will be useful.
That said, for reasons of transparency it is recommended to inform, at least generically, of those cookies excluded from the scope of application of article 22.2 of the LSSI, either in the cookies policy or in the privacy policy itself (example: “This website uses cookies that allow the operation and provision of the services offered on it”).
In any case, it should be noted that the same cookie can have more than one purpose (multipurpose cookies), so there is a possibility that a cookie is exempted from the scope of application of Article 22.2 of the LSSI for one or more of its purposes and not for others, the latter being subject to the scope of application of that provision. This should, in the words of the WG29, “encourage website owners to use a different cookie for each purpose”.
In relation to the cookie management or configuration systems referred to below in this guide, when multipurpose cookies are used for two or more different purposes and not excepted from the scope of application of Article 22. 2 of the LSSI, it must be ensured that these cookies are only used if all the purposes they group together are accepted, i.e., if a cookie serves two purposes, but the user only accepts one of them, the cookie should not be used, and this unless the management system used allows differentiated treatment of the different purposes of these multipurpose cookies, so that it is possible that if the user accepts one of its purposes and not others, the cookie only operates with the accepted purpose.
