– Cookies de sesión de reproductor multimedia.
– Cookies de sesión para equilibrar la carga.
– Cookies de personalización de la interfaz de usuario.
– Cookies de complemento para intercambiar contenidos sociales.
El incumplimiento queda regulado en el Título VII de la LSSI, en el que se detallan las infracciones y sanciones y, en concreto, a los artículos 38.3.i y 38.4.g, que tipifican con infracción grave y leve, respectivamente, el incumplimiento “(…) de las obligaciones de
información o de establecimiento de un procedimiento de rechazo del tratamiento de datos, establecidas en el apartado 2 del artículo 22”. Así, las sanciones en caso de incumplimiento serán las previstas en el artículo 39, y pueden suponer multas de hasta 150.000 euros en el caso de ser consideradas como graves.
