Cookie Policy of GREENGAGE-project.eu

In accordance with Article 13 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and the Provision of the Spanish Data Protection Authority “Simplified Arrangements to Provide Information and Obtain Consent Regarding Cookies – 8 May 2014 no. 229”, UWE Bristol (“We”, “us” or “our”) undertakes a duty to provide a detailed information notice relating to the cookies installed on the website www.greengage-project.eu .

This document informs Users about the technologies that help the Collaborative Environment to achieve the purposes described below. Such technologies allow us to access and store information (for example by using a Cookie) or use resources (for example by running a script) on a User’s device as they interact with this website.

What kind of technologies do we use?

For simplicity, all such technologies are defined as “trackers” within this document – unless there is a reason to differentiate. For example, while cookies can be used on both web and mobile browsers, it would be inaccurate to talk about cookies in the context of mobile apps as they are a browser-based tracker. For this reason, within this document, the term cookies is only used where it is specifically meant to indicate that particular type of tracker.

Some of the purposes for which trackers are used may also require the User’s consent. Whenever consent is given, it can be freely withdrawn at any time following the instructions provided in this document.

This website uses trackers managed directly by us (so-called “first-party” trackers). The validity and expiration periods of cookies and other similar trackers may vary depending on the lifetime set by us. Some of them expire upon termination of the User’s browsing session. In addition to what’s specified in the descriptions within each of the categories below, Users may find more precise and updated information regarding lifetime specifications as well as any other relevant information – such as the presence of other trackers – in the linked privacy policies or by contacting UWE Bristol at researchethics@uwe.ac.uk.

Activities strictly necessary for the operation of this website and delivery of the Service This website uses so-called “technical” cookies and other similar tackers to carry out activities that are strictly necessary for the operation or delivery of the service.

Other activities involving the use of trackers

Measurement – This website uses trackers to measure traffic and analyze user behavior with the goal of improving the service. We use cookies in a range of ways to improve your experience on our site, including understanding how a user navigates the website.

Anonymized analytics services: The services contained in this section allow the Owner, through the use of third-party trackers, to collect and manage analytics in an anonymized form. Google Analytics with anonymized IP Google Analytics is a web analysis service provided by Google LLC or by Google Ireland Limited, depending on the location this Website is accessed from, (“Google”). Google utilizes the Data collected to track and examine the use of this Website, prepare reports on its activities and share them with other Google services. Google may use the Data collected to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network. This integration of Google Analytics anonymizes your IP address. It works by shortening Users’ IP addresses within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the complete IP address be sent to a Google server and shortened within the US. Personal Data processed: Tracker and Usage Data. Place of processing: United States – Privacy Policy – Opt Out; Ireland – Privacy Policy – Opt Out.

How to manage preferences and provide or withdraw consent?

There are various ways to manage tracker related preferences and to provide and withdraw consent, where relevant:

Users can manage preferences related to trackers directly within their own device settings, for example, by preventing the use or storage of trackers.

Additionally, whenever the use of trackers is based on consent, Users can provide or withdraw such consent by setting their preferences within the cookie notice or by updating such preferences accordingly via the relevant consent-preferences widget.

It is also possible, via relevant browser or device features, to delete previously stored trackers, including those used to remember the User’s initial consent.

Other trackers in the browser’s local memory may be cleared by deleting the browsing history.

Locating Tracker Settings

Users can, for example, find information about how to manage cookies in the most commonly used browsers at the following addresses:

• Google Chrome

• Mozilla Firefox

• Apple Safari

• Microsoft Internet Explorer

• Microsoft Edge

• Brave

• Opera

Users may also manage certain categories of trackers used on mobile apps by opting out through relevant device settings such as the device advertising settings for mobile devices, or tracking settings in general (Users may open the device settings and look for the relevant setting).

Data Controller

Given the objective complexity surrounding tracking technologies, Users are encouraged to contact UWE Bristol at researchethics@uwe.ac.uk should they wish to receive any further information on the use of such technologies by this website.
