What are cookies?
Cookies are a set of data that a server deposits on a user’s browser to collect standard Internet registration information and information about visitor behavior on a website. In other words, they are small text files that are stored on the computer’s hard drive and serve to 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 function more efficiently and provides greater personalization and analysis of user behavior.
What types of cookies are there?
The cookies used on our website are session cookies and third-party cookies, which allow us to store and access information about the language, type of browser used, and other general user-defined characteristics. They also allow us to track and analyze user activity in order to make improvements and provide our services more efficiently and personalized.
Cookies, depending on their lifespan, can be divided into session cookies or persistent cookies. Session cookies expire when the user closes the browser, while persistent cookies expire based on when they fulfill their purpose (for example, to keep the user identified in Residencia Javeriana services) or when manually deleted.

Additionally, cookies can be classified as follows based on their purpose:
Performance cookies
This type of cookie remembers your preferences for the tools found in the services, so you don’t have to reconfigure the service each time you visit. For example, this includes volume settings for video or sound players, video streaming speeds compatible with your browser, and items saved in the shopping cart for e-commerce services such as stores.
Geolocation 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 target content to your location.
Login cookies
Login cookies are generated once the user has registered or subsequently logged in, and are used to identify the user in the services for the following purposes:
– Maintain user identification so that if they close a service, browser, or computer, and subsequently re-enter the service at another time or day, they will still be identified, facilitating
their navigation without having to log in again. This functionality can be deleted if the user clicks the “log out” function, which will remove this cookie. The next time the user enters the service, they will have to log in to be identified.
– Check 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 the user registers for a service using 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 in the specific social network.
Analytics cookies
Every time a user visits a service, an analytics cookie is generated on the user’s computer by an external provider’s tool. This cookie, which is only generated during the visit, will be used in subsequent visits to Residencia Javeriana services to anonymously identify the visitor. The main objectives are:
– Enable the anonymous identification of browsing users through the cookie (identifying browsers and devices, not individuals) and therefore provide an approximate count of the number of visitors and their trend over time.
– Anonymously identify the most visited and attractive content for users.
– Determine if the user accessing the service is new or a returning visitor.
Important: Unless the user decides to register for a Residencia Javeriana service, the cookie will never be associated with any personally identifiable information. These cookies will only be used for statistical purposes to optimize the user experience on the site.
Advertising cookies
This type of cookies allows for the expansion of information about the ads shown to each anonymous user in Residencia Javeriana services. Among other things, it stores the duration or frequency of display of advertising positions, interaction with them, and the user’s browsing patterns and/or behavior, as they help create a profile of advertising interest. This enables offering advertising that is relevant to the user’s interests.
Third-party advertising cookies
In addition to the advertising managed by Residencia Javeriana websites in its services, Residencia Javeriana websites offer advertisers the option to serve ads through third-party “Ad-Servers.” Thus, these third parties may store cookies sent from Residencia Javeriana services on users’ browsers, as well as access the data stored in them.
The companies that generate these cookies have their own privacy policies. Currently, Residencia Javeriana websites use the DoubleClick (Google) platform to manage these services. For more information, visit:
