Spanish term or phrase: transmisión ulterior (de cookies)
Hi everyone,

I'm struggling to translate "su transmisión ulterior" in the following sentence:

"Las cookies utilizadas en este sitio web tienen, en todo caso, carácter temporal con la única finalidad de hacer más eficaz su transmisión ulterior."

I've seen it translated as "their subsequent transmission" or "their onward transmission". From reading up on these temporary cookies "subsequent" seems more logical but I don't feel sure enough to call it and I don't even feel sure if we'd put it this way in English.

Thank you so much for your help!

Explanation:
I agree with Robin's explanation, and "su" does indeed refer to the website, not the cookies. But I don't feel "its next delivery" conveys a very clear meaning. "Your next visit" is very commonly used.

subsequent/next delivery


Explanation:
'transmisión ulterior' refers to the delivery/display of the website, not the 'transmisión' of the cookies themselves. The idea is that if the site places cookies on the visitor's computer 'now', the page will be displayed more 'efficiently' (whatever that might mean...) the 'next time' the visitor comes to the site (tomorrow, next week, ...).

A simple example: a multilingual site might set a cookie to 'remember' the visitor's preferred language; if the visitor choses, say, French, then next time (s)he visits the site it will look at the cookie, see it's set to French, and display French without bothering to ask the visitor.

Are all cookies the same?

There are two different types of cookies:

Session cookies - these are temporary and are erased when you close your browser at the end of your surfing session. The next time you visit that particular site it will not recognise you and will treat you as a completely new visitor as there is nothing in your browser to let the site know that you have visited before (more on session cookies).

Persistent cookies - these remain on your hard drive until you erase them or they expire. How long a cookie remains on your browser depends on how long the visited website has programmed the cookie to last (more on persistent cookies).
