Internet, e-Commerce / Spanish privacy policy and cookies statement
Spanish term or phrase: cookies prescindibles
Good evening. I'm working on a privacy and use of cookies statement for a Spanish marketing company. The above phrase is included in the following context:

También se pueden utilizar para medir la audiencia, parámetros de tráfico, controlar el progreso y número de entradas, etc, siendo en estos casos COOKIES PRESCINDIBLES técnicamente pero beneficiosas para el usuario. También se pueden utilizar para medir la audiencia, parámetros de tráfico, controlar el progreso y número de entradas, etc, siendo en estos casos COOKIES PRESCINDIBLES técnicamente pero beneficiosas para el usuario.

Would "cookies prescindibles" be "session cookies", "persistent cookies", or simply "non-essential cookies"? Or, something else? I'm leaning towards "non-essential cookies" (only 7900 Google hits)

As always, a thousand thanks!
