Frequently asked questions for: Cookies

Why are there now so many warnings about the use of cookies?	In 2012, an amendment was made to Article 22.2 of the Law on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce (LSSICE) of 2002. Until then, it was taken for granted that websites would warn about the use of cookies in the texts they included under headings such as “Legal notice”, “Terms of use”, “Data protection policy”… But this was considered insufficient. Following the 2012 amendment, it was established that the user must consent to the use of cookies, after being properly informed of the purposes for which they are used.
What are the fines for non-compliance with the cookie regulation?	Minor infractions carry fines of up to 30,000 euros and serious ones up to 150,000 euros, although case law has never gone to such extremes, normally establishing amounts of between 500 and 25,000 euros.
Can I delete cookies from my computer?	Yes, you can control or delete cookies whenever you want, although you may experience different behaviour on the website, and you can set most browsers to stop accepting them. In case you reject or delete them, some features of the website may not work properly.
Are cookies a potential danger to my computer?	No, a cookie is a text file, not a program or plug-in. It cannot be used as a virus and cannot access your hard disk. It is the browser itself and not a person that saves the cookie of a web page when it is necessary.

Can cookies fill up my hard drive?

Although cookies take up very little space (just a few kilobytes), as you browse the Internet, the accumulation of cookies can take up a relatively large amount of space on your hard drive. This is why both browsers and operating systems have their own automatic systems to prevent this from happening, normally with a maximum number of cookies that can be stored. When that number is exceeded, the browser will automatically delete those that have been used the least.

Who must comply with this regulation?

– The companies’ corporate websites. – The corporate websites of self-employed professionals, regardless of whether they are used to inform about their business or as online shops. – Online shops and other e-commerce platforms. – Media or blogs of individuals that include some form of advertising. This applies both to companies and professionals established in Spain and to foreign websites aimed at the Spanish public.
