The cookies of the so-called “Third parties”, on the other hand, are set by a website other than the one the user is visiting. This is because on each site there may be elements (images, maps, sounds, specific links to web pages of other domains, etc.) that reside on servers other than that of the site visited.
   What are cookies used for?
   Cookies are used for different purposes: execution of computer authentication, session monitoring, storage of information on specific configurations regarding users who access the server, storage of preferences, etc.

   These are cookies that are used to browse or provide a service requested by the user. They are not used for other purposes and are normally installed directly by the website owner.

Under these conditions, the same rules apply to analytics cookies, in terms of information and consent, provided for technical cookies.

   User consent is not required for the installation of technical cookies, while information must be given (Article 13 of the Privacy Code).
