What are cookies?

Cookies are files that can be downloaded to your computer through web pages. They are tools that play an essential role in the provision of many services of the information society. Among others, they allow a website to store and retrieve information about the browsing habits of a user or their equipment and, depending on the information obtained, they can be used to recognize the user and improve the service offered.

Types of cookies

Depending on the entity managing the domain from which cookies are sent and processing the data obtained, cookies can be classified into two types:

  • First-party cookies: These are sent to the user’s terminal from a device or domain managed by the website owner, which provides the service requested by the user.
  • Third-party cookies: These are sent to the user’s terminal from a device or domain that is not managed by the website owner, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.

If cookies are installed from a device or domain managed by the website owner but the information collected is handled by a third party, these cannot be considered first-party cookies.

There is also a second classification based on the duration of storage in the user’s browser:

  • Session cookies: Designed to collect and store data while the user is accessing a webpage. These are often used to retain information necessary for providing the requested service in a single session (e.g., a list of purchased products).
  • Persistent cookies: The data remains stored on the user’s device and can be accessed and processed for a defined period by the cookie owner, which may range from a few minutes to several years.

Finally, cookies can also be classified into six types based on their purpose:

  1. Technical cookies: These allow users to browse a website, platform, or application and use its various options or services, such as controlling data traffic and communication, identifying sessions, accessing restricted areas, remembering items in a shopping cart, completing purchase processes, registering for events, using security elements during browsing, storing content for video or audio playback, or sharing content via social networks.

  2. Personalization cookies: These allow users to access the service with predefined general features based on criteria such as language, browser type, regional settings, etc.

  3. Analytics cookies: These enable the cookie owner to track and analyze user behavior on the linked websites. The information gathered is used to measure activity on websites, applications, or platforms, and to create navigation profiles for users, helping improve the service based on how users interact with it.

  4. Advertising cookies: These manage advertising spaces in the most efficient way possible.

  5. Behavioral advertising cookies: These store user behavior information obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, enabling the creation of a specific profile to display targeted advertising.

  6. Social media cookies: These allow visitors to interact with content from various social platforms (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.) and are generated exclusively for users of these networks. The conditions for using these cookies and the information collected are governed by the privacy policy of each social platform.

Where can our technology be used?

Bouncer Digital’s age validation technology can be applied in a variety of industries and sectors to ensure compliance with age-restricted content or product access regulations and ensure the safety of minors in the digital environment:

  • Adult content websites: age verification on adult entertainment platforms to prevent access by minors.
  • E-commerce platforms with 18+ products: Verification in online stores that sell age-restricted products such as alcohol, tobacco or vapes.
  • Physical vending machines: In self-service machines that sell restricted products, such as alcoholic beverages, cigarettes or vapes, to ensure that the purchaser complies with the legal age.
  • Online gambling platforms: Age verification on online gambling platforms to ensure that only adults can access gambling.

Privacy and Data Protection

Bouncer Digital’s facial age estimation does not involve the processing of biometric data for identification purposes. Our system does not allow unique identification of a person, but merely estimates age from facial characteristics. This ensures that personal data is not processed or stored in an irregular manner. We do not store or share images, and data is never sold or transferred to third parties.

Compliance and Regulations

Bouncer Digital is committed to compliance with international data protection and privacy regulations. Our technology is designed to meet the standards set forth in various global regulations, such as the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and privacy by design principles.

In addition, our technology follows international best practices in terms of privacy protection and data minimization in decision making to perform age validation.

Specifically, Bouncer Digital conforms to the following technical and regulatory standards:

  • KJM (Commission for the Protection of Minors in Media) in Germany.
  • British Standards Institution PAS 1296: Code of practice for age verification, applicable on online and physical platforms in the United Kingdom.
  • Regulations in other countries: Bouncer Digital complies with the regulations in force in countries such as France, Ireland, India, Canada, the United States, Australia and New Zealand, where technological solutions similar to ours are already approved and in use.

 

In Bouncer Digital we have developed a technological solution that is fully compatible with the age verification regulations required in different countries and complies with the principles of Privacy and Data Protection.

How it works

Bouncer Digital’s facial age verification technology allows estimating a person’s age in real time using a process of biometric analysis and liveness check.

Bouncer employs advanced artificial intelligence algorithms to analyze facial features in order to estimate a person’s age. The technology is highly accurate in the biometric analysis of the user, 99.5% effective, and is performed anonymously, fairly and impartially, regardless of gender, race or skin tone.

Bouncer complies with the principle of “privacy by default” and “data minimization”, which means that we use the technology for the sole purpose of validating the user’s age of majority and not storing any data from the process.
