Access to KMdevs.com may involve the use of cookies. A cookie is a small piece of data stored in the browser used by each user so that the server remembers certain information that it may subsequently use. This information makes it possible to identify you as a specific user and save your personal preferences, as well as technical information such as visits or specific websites you visit. Users who do not wish to receive cookies or who want to be informed beforehand that cookies are being stored on their computer can configure their browser to such end. Most current browsers allow you to manage cookies in 3 different ways:
- Cookies are never accepted.
- The browser asks the user if each cookie should be accepted or not.
- Cookies are always accepted.
The browser can also offer the possibility to specify more accurately which cookies have to be accepted and which do not. Specifically, the user can usually accept one of the following options: reject the cookies from particular domains; reject cookies from third parties; accept cookies as non-persistent (they are deleted when the browser is closed); enable the server to create cookies for a different domain. In addition, browsers can also let users view and delete cookies individually. As an associated supplier, Google uses cookies to publish advertisements on its website. Users can disable the use of the DART cookie via the Google advert and by accessing the content network privacy policy.

Web beacons serve and are used similarly to cookies. In addition, web beacons tend to be used to measure user traffic to a website and to ascertain the types of website users.

What is a cookie?
A cookie is an inoffensive text file stored on your browser when you visit almost any website. Amongst other uses, cookies enable the website to remember your visit when you browse that website again. They store information about the user and the website itself, such as their user name and password so they do not have to enter it on every page, and preferences with regard to the settings or customisation of the website.
¿What a cookie is NOT
It is not a virus, or a Trojan, or a worm, or spam, or spyware, or a pop-up window.
What information does a cookie store?
Cookies do not store sensitive information about you, such as credit cards or bank details, photographs, your ID card or personal information, etc. The details they store are of a technical nature, or relate to personal preferences, content customisation, remembering fields for filling in forms, and so on. The web server does not associate you as a person rather as a web browser. In fact, if you normally browse with Internet Explorer, for example, and try to browse on the same website with Firefox or Chrome, you will see that the website does not know you are the same person because, in reality, it is associating the visit with the browser not with the person.
What types of cookies are there?
- Technical cookies – They are the most basic and enable the website using them to function correctly. Without these, the website would not work normally. They are necessary for operating user systems, comments or the personal settings of a website.
- Analysis cookies – They gather statistical information about website visitors (pages most visited, type of user device, traffic sources). It is very valuable information for a website owner as it enables them to improve their website and make the relevant changes depending on the type of visitor or the manner in which they browse the website. Most websites use Google Analytics for this purpose.
- Advertising cookies – They show advertising depending on your browsing, your country of origin, language, preferences in terms of topics, etc. A lot of companies offer this internet advertising service and their cookies policy may vary.
What are own cookies and third party cookies?
Own cookies are those created by the website you are visiting, generally technical cookies, necessary for the proper operation of the website and so that the user has a good browsing experience. Third party cookies are those generated by external services or providers such as Facebook or Twitter, with widgets from their social networks or buttons to share content from the website, or Google when it comes to offering web analytics. These are just some examples of third party cookies as any cookie that does not belong to the domain of the website itself is a third party cookie.
What happens if I disable cookies?
