LIGA PROFESIONAL DE FÚTBOL FEMENINO informs about the use of cookies on its website: https://ligaf.es/

What are cookies?

Cookies are files that can be downloaded to your device through web pages. They are essential tools for providing many information society services. Among other things, they allow a website to store and retrieve information about a user’s browsing habits or their device and, depending on the information obtained, may be used to recognize the user and improve the service provided.

Types of cookies

Depending on the entity managing the domain from which cookies are sent and processing the data obtained, two types can be distinguished:

  • First-party cookies: Those sent to the user’s device from a computer or domain managed by the website’s editor and from which the requested service is provided.

  • Third-party cookies: Those sent to the user’s device from a computer or domain not managed by the editor, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through cookies.

If cookies are installed from a computer or domain managed by the editor but the information collected is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered first-party cookies.

There is also a second classification based on how long they remain stored in the user’s browser:

  • Session cookies: Designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website. They are typically used to store information needed only for one service session (e.g., a shopping cart).

  • Persistent cookies: Data remains stored on the device and may be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie controller, which can range from minutes to several years.


Finally, there is another classification with six types of cookies depending on the purpose for which the data obtained is processed:

  • Technical cookies: Allow the user to browse a website, platform or application and use the different options or services available, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying sessions, accessing restricted areas, remembering items in an order, completing a purchase, registering or participating in an event, using security features, storing content for video or audio, or sharing content via social networks.

  • Personalization cookies: Allow the user to access the service with predefined general characteristics based on criteria such as language, browser type or regional configuration.

  • Analytics cookies: Allow tracking and analyzing user behavior on the linked websites. Data collected is used to measure website activity and create browsing profiles to improve the service based on usage.

  • Advertising cookies: Allow the most efficient management of advertising spaces.

  • Behavioral advertising cookies: Store information about users’ browsing behavior through continuous observation, allowing a specific profile to show advertising based on it.

  • External social media cookies: Allow visitors to interact with content across social networks (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.). They are generated only for users of those networks. Use and collected information is governed by each platform’s privacy policy.
