What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites visited by the user send to the computer and to any device used for navigation (e.g.: smartphones and tablets) where they are stored and then retransmitted the next time the same user visits.

Cookies can be stored permanently and have a variable duration (so-called persistent cookies), but they can also disappear when the browser is closed or have a limited duration (so-called session cookies).

Similarly, cookies can be installed by the website you are visiting (so-called first-party cookies), but also by other websites (so-called third-party cookies) and are used to perform computer authentication, monitor sessions and store information regarding the activities of users who access a particular site.

Use of cookies

The above-mentioned websites make use of various types of cookies in order to simplify, speed up and make browsing more effective.

Through cookies it is possible to collect information on the  website user (e.g.: date and time, web pages visited, time spent on the portal etc.), some of which may fall within the definition of personal data and therefore be subject to specific legal regulations.

It should be noted that disabling certain cookies may compromise the proper functioning of the University Portal.

Cookies used by the site

The University Portal uses first-party technical cookies necessary for its operation, tracking cookies similar to technical cookies and third-party cookies.

Cookies with explicit profiling purposes or for purposes other than those stated here are not used.

 

First-party technical cookies

The University Portal uses technical cookies (navigation or functional, session and/or persistent) or similar to them to function and be displayed correctly, to allow authentication to reserved areas or to improve user experience (e.g.: by memorising language preferences or saving the credentials used to access the back-end so they do not have to re-enter them).

Since consent to their installation is not required, these cookies will always be used and sent to the browser in use, unless the user changes their settings (thus affecting the proper use of the services or content made available).

The "first party" technical cookies collected by the site are processed at the offices of the external data processing manager (Consorzio CINECA), who processes the log files on behalf of the Data Controller.
