Cookies and local storage are part of the technology necessary for a website operation and both are not inherently harmful,
but it is important that you know the implications that they have for your privacy.
WHAT ARE COOKIES?
A cookie is a small text file that is stored on the user's device (computer, phone, tablet, etc.) when it is visited almost any web page.
Among others, Cookies allow a web page to store and retrieve technical information, personal preferences, content customization, usage statistics, links to social networks, access to user accounts, etc.
The user's browser memorizes the cookies on the hard drive (or its equivalent), occupying a minimum memory space and not harming the computer (or device).
Cookies do not contain any kind of specific personal information and most of them are deleted at the end of the browser session (session cookies).
Once a website creates a cookie, the user's device store the following information:
- The address / domain of the web that created the cookie.

Most web browsers accept cookies as a standard and, regardless of them, they allow or prevent temporary or memorized cookies in the security settings.
The user can configure their browser at any time to prevent (block) the use of cookies by certain websites, as well as delete previously stored cookies.
WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES ARE THERE?

- Silverlight local storage (Isolated Objects): Silverlight is a browser add-on that allows you to incorporate interactive and multimedia elements on a web. Silverlight also allows the visited website to store files on the user's device.
- The web beacon: It is a tracking technique that consists of inserting an image hosted on an Internet server on the web or in an email so that, when the browser or email program connects to said server to download and view the image, the access is logged. Sometimes these images are very small or transparent so that the user is not aware of their existence.
