These cookies have no certification on the box itself, it is made in a spanish speaking country. yet they have a sticker with a kosher certification put on them.
is this reliable?
This is not a practical question.

4Well I don't know your community affiliations, but most people I know don't like relying on triangle k at all. I'm not trying to sway your opinion in any way, But at least in this case of uncertainty, it may be something to think about.– user6591Jun 23, 2015 at 14:34

This label is on many products in Israel. In my experience, most people do trust the sticker labels; however, to be safe, when you see a product with the kosher certification stuck on a sticker to the box, it certainly cannot hurt to call the certifying agency to confirm that they do supervise that particular item.
As a separate issue, many people do not rely on the particular kosher certifying agency shown on this label (Triangle-K). The majority of major kashrus agencies do not recommend consuming food with only the Triangle-K certification.
See this question and its answers.

It's worth noting that the kashrut of these cookies have been approved by the Israeli rabbinate, as shown inside the marked circle. Even if "many people do not rely" on Triangle-K, the Israeli rabbinate considers them reliable.– AryehJun 30, 2015 at 14:36
