What are cookies?
Cookies are a set of data that a server deposits in the user’s browser to collect standard Internet log information and information about visitor behavior on a website. In other words, they are small text files stored on the computer’s hard drive that identify the user when they reconnect to the website. Their purpose is to record the user’s visit and store certain information. Their use is common and frequent on the web as it allows pages to operate more efficiently and achieve greater personalization and analysis of user behavior.
What types of cookies exist?
The cookies used on our website are session cookies and third-party cookies, which allow us to store and access information related to the language, type of browser used, and other predefined general features by the user, as well as track and analyze the activity carried out, with the aim of introducing improvements and providing our services in a more efficient and personalized manner.
Cookies can be divided based on their duration into session cookies or persistent cookies. Session cookies expire when the user closes the browser. Persistent cookies expire when the purpose for which they serve is fulfilled (for example, to keep the user identified in Joel Hernandez’s services) or when they are manually deleted.
| Name | Type | Expiry | Purpose | Class |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| __utma | Third-Party (Google Analytics) | 2 years | Used to distinguish users and sessions. | Not Exempt |
| __utmb | Third-Party (Google Analytics) | 30 minutes | Used to determine new sessions or visits. | Not Exempt |
| __utmc | Third-Party (Google Analytics) | At session end | Configured for use with Urchin. | Not Exempt |
| __utmz | Third-Party (Google Analytics) | 6 months | Stores the origin or campaign explaining how the user reached the website. | Not Exempt |
Additionally, based on their purpose, cookies can be classified as follows:
Performance Cookies
This type of cookie remembers your preferences for the tools found in the services, so you do not have to reconfigure the service each time you visit. For example, this type includes: volume settings for video or audio players, compatible video streaming speeds for your browser, and items stored in the shopping cart in e-commerce services such as stores.
Geo-Location Cookies
These cookies are used to determine the country you are in when a service is requested. This cookie is completely anonymous and is only used to help tailor the content to your location.
Registration Cookies
Registration cookies are generated once the user has registered or subsequently logged in, and are used to identify you in the services with the following objectives:
- To keep the user identified so that if they close a service, browser, or computer and later return to the service, they will remain identified, thus facilitating navigation without having to re-identify. This functionality can be removed if the user clicks the [log out] function, which deletes this cookie, and the next time they enter the service, the user will have to log in to be identified.
- To verify if the user is authorized to access certain services, for example, to participate in a contest.
Additionally, some services may use connectors with social networks such as Facebook or Twitter. When a user registers for a service with social network credentials, they authorize the social network to store a persistent cookie that remembers their identity and guarantees access to the services until it expires. The user can delete this cookie and revoke access to the services through social networks by updating their preferences on the specified social network.
Analytical Cookies
Each time a user visits a service, a tool from a third-party provider generates an analytical cookie on the user’s computer. This cookie, generated only during the visit, will serve on future visits to Joel Hernandez’s services to anonymously identify the visitor. The main objectives pursued are:
- To allow the anonymous identification of browsing users through the cookie (it identifies browsers and devices, not people), thereby providing an approximate count of visitors and their trend over time.
- To anonymously identify the most visited content and, therefore, the most attractive for users.
- To determine whether the user accessing the site is new or a repeat visitor.
Important: Unless the user decides to register for a service from Joel Hernandez, the cookie will never be associated with any personal data that could identify them. These cookies will only be used for statistical purposes that help optimize the user experience on the site.
Advertising Cookies
These types of cookies allow for the expansion of information regarding the ads displayed to each anonymous user on Joel Hernandez’s services. Among other things, they store the duration or frequency of display of advertising positions, interactions with them, or patterns of navigation and/or user behavior, as they help to create a profile of advertising interest. In this way, they allow for the offering of advertisements aligned with the user’s interests.
Third-Party Advertising Cookies
In addition to the advertising managed by Joel Hernandez’s websites in their services, Joel Hernandez’s websites offer their advertisers the option to serve ads through third parties (“Ad-Servers”). In this way, these third parties can store cookies sent from Joel Hernandez’s services from users’ browsers, as well as access the data stored in them.
The companies that generate these cookies have their own privacy policies. Currently, Joel Hernandez’s websites use the Doubleclick platform (Google) to manage these services. For more information, visit:

How can I disable cookies in my browser?
Different browsers can be configured to notify the user of the receipt of cookies and, if desired, prevent their installation on the device. Additionally, the user can review in their browser which cookies are installed and what their expiration dates are, being able to delete them.
