3. What types of Cookies do we use?

Below we list all the Cookies that can be used by urlshort.dev. It's important to remember that you can manage the permission granted for each Cookie in your browser.

In addition, since Cookies capture data about you, we advise you to read our Privacy Policy, available at this link (link to privacy policy).

Essential Cookies - Some cookies are essential to access specific areas of our site. They enable site navigation and the use of its applications, such as accessing secure areas of the site through login. Without these cookies, the services that require them cannot be provided.

Analytical Cookies - We use these cookies to analyze how users use the website and monitor its performance. This allows us to provide a high-quality experience by personalizing our offer and quickly identifying and correcting any problems that arise. For example, we use performance cookies to know which pages are most popular, which method of linking between pages is most effective, or to determine the reason why some pages are receiving error messages. Based on the use of the website, we may also use these cookies to highlight articles or services on the website that we think may be of interest to users. These cookies are used only for the purpose of statistical creation and analysis, without ever collecting personal information.

Functionality cookies - We use functionality cookies to allow us to remember user preferences. For example, cookies prevent the need to enter the user's name every time they access the site. We also use functionality cookies to provide advanced services to the user, such as commenting on an article. In summary, functionality cookies store user preferences regarding the use of the site, so that it is not necessary to reconfigure the site each time they visit.

Third-party cookies - They are used to measure the success of third-party applications and advertising effectiveness on our site.

Advertising cookies - They are used to target advertising based on the interests of each user and the number of visits they have made, allowing the number of times the ad is displayed to be limited. These cookies help measure the effectiveness of advertising.

The cookies used can be:

Persistent cookies - They are stored at the internet browser level on your access devices (PC, mobile and tablet) and are used whenever the user makes a new visit to the website. They are usually used to direct navigation according to the user's interests, allowing us to provide a more personalized service.

Session cookies - These are temporary cookies that remain in your internet browser's cookies until you leave the site. The information obtained allows us to identify problems and provide a better browsing experience.

After authorizing the use of cookies, the user can always disable part or all of our cookies.

All browsers allow users to accept, refuse or delete cookies, particularly by selecting the appropriate settings in their respective browser. You can configure cookies in the 'options' or 'preferences' menu of your browser.

Note that by disabling cookies, you may prevent some web services from functioning properly, partially or completely affecting the website navigation.
