The Bages University Foundation (FUB) hereby informs about the use of cookies in the web pages of its corporate portal.
Cookies are files that can be downloaded to your computer through web pages. They are fundamental tools which allow certain services of the information society to be provided. Among other functions, they allow a web page to save and retrieve information about the browsing habits of a user or the actions carried out on a particular computer. From that data stored, the user can be recognised and the service can be improved accordingly.
Types of cookies
According to the entity that manages them and processes the data obtained, there are two types of cookies: those called first party cookies and those called third party cookies.
Depending on the time they remain active in the user's browser, they can also be classified as session cookies or persistent cookies.
Finally, cookies can be classified into five groups, depending on the purposes for which the information is obtained: technical, personalisation, analytical, publicity and behavioural advertising.
More information can be found in the Guide to the Use of Cookies published by the Spanish Agency for Data Protection.
Cookies used on the FUB corporate website
The following cookies are the ones that are used in this portal, as well as their typology and function:
The FUB website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service developed by Google, which allows browsing information to be measured and analysed. The client browser manages 4 cookies for this service: these are first party, session and analytical cookies.

The web analytics allows you to know the number of users who access the web, the number of pages visited, the frequency and repetition of the visits, the duration, the browser used, the operator that provides the service, the language, the terminal used or the city where the IP of the interactor is assigned.
