Cookie policy

What are cookies and what are they used for?

A cookie is a small text file placed on a user’s device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) by a website visited by that user. The text file stores information and is re-transmitted back to the same website upon the user’s subsequent visits.  Cookies are defined according to:

• The subject installing them on the user’s device. They can either be first-party cookies, if they are placed by the operator of the visited website,  or third-party cookies, if placed by a Website from a domain other than the one the user is visiting.
• Based on their purpose, some cookies allow the website to store information on preferences expressed by the user when visiting the website (e.g., language) or to perform automatic authentications to access restricted areas (so-called technical cookies); other cookies allow the website to monitor users’ navigation and offer content in line with the shown interests. Also, cookies can be used to collect and store information on users’ surfing habits for statistical purposes (“profiling cookies”). A prior consent from the user is required only for profiling cookies to enable their use. The following table contains more detailed information on these cookies.

Technical cookies are installed in the website http://www.upmcitaly.it/en (“Website”) as they are necessary to allow surfing the website and its correct functions, according to what is indicated more in detail in the personal data information policy, available here.

Social buttons are buttons on the Website that allow users navigating on it to interact with social media networks with one click only.  This Website uses social buttons as links to the data processor’s or user’s accounts on the identified social network.  By using these buttons, third-party cookies are therefore not installed.  Above are listed the links to the privacy note of the social media that can be reached through the Website’s social media buttons.

With reference to third-party cookies, please note that their purposes, underlying data processing strategies, and the management of users’ cookies preferences are neither set nor controlled by UPMC Italy.
It is the third-party providing said cookies, in its capacity of data provider and data controller (see previous tables) that bears the burden of information and of all necessary personal data processing fulfillments.
