Frequently asked questions: Cookies
| Why do so many notices pop up now about use of cookies? | In 2012 a change was made to article 22.2 of the Law on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce (LSSICE) from 2002. Until then, it was presumed that websites warned of their use of cookies in texts that could be found under titles such as “Legal notice”, “Conditions of use”, “Terms of use”, “Data protection policy”…But it was considered insufficient.
After the modification in 2012 it was established that the user must consent the use of cookies after having been duly informed of the reasons of their use.

Are cookies dangerous for my computer? |

Can cookies fill my hard drive? |
Although cookies occupy very little space (a few kilobytes), as you continue to browse the internet they accumulate and can occupy a relatively big space in your hard drive. That’s why browsers and operating systems have automatic systems to stop this from happening, normally with a maximum number of cookies that can be stored. When this number is surpassed, the browser automatically eliminates those that have been used less.
