What are cookies?

Types of cookies
Depending on who manages the domain from which the cookies are sent and processes the data obtained, two types of cookies can be distinguished: first-party cookies and third-party cookies.
There is also a second classification according to the length of time cookies remain stored in the client's browser, in which case they may be session cookies or persistent cookies.
Finally, there is another classification consisting of five types of cookies according to the purpose for which the data obtained are processed: technical cookies, personalization cookies, analytics cookies, advertising cookies, and behavioral advertising cookies.
For further information in this regard, you can consult the Guide on the Use of Cookies issued by the Spanish Data Protection Agency.
Cookies used on the website
The cookies currently being used on this portal are identified below, together with their type and function.
The University of Zaragoza website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service developed by Google that enables the measurement and analysis of browsing activity on websites. You may see cookies from this service in your browser. According to the classification above, these are first-party, session, and analytics cookies.
Through web analytics, information is obtained regarding the number of users accessing the website, the number of pages viewed, the frequency and recurrence of visits, their duration, the browser used, the service provider, the language, the device used, and the city to which the user's IP address is assigned. This information enables this portal to provide a better and more appropriate service.
To ensure anonymity, Google will anonymize your information by truncating the IP address before storing it, so that Google Analytics is not used to locate or collect personally identifiable information about site visitors. Google may only disclose the information collected by Google Analytics to third parties when legally required to do so. In accordance with the Google Analytics Terms of Service, Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.
The University of Zaragoza website also uses Matomo, a tool that allows us to store analytics data and determine the number of visits to the different pages by users. All this information is stored on the University's own servers. This information is stored after anonymizing users' IP addresses.
A cookie called cookie_agreed is also downloaded. This is a first-party, technical, session cookie. It manages the user's consent to the use of cookies on the website. Its purpose is to remember which users have accepted the cookies and which have not, so that users who have accepted them are not shown information about cookies at the bottom of the page.
