Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy refers exclusively to the website “XI Conference on Computational Bioengineering” of the Università Campus Bio – Medico di Roma (https://iccb2025.org, hereinafter the “Website") and should be understood as an integral part of the Privacy Policy of the same.

A "cookie" is a small text file that can be stored in a dedicated space on the hard drive of the user's device (e.g., computer, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when visiting a website through their browser and may be subject to the user's prior consent before being installed. Through cookies, a website remembers the user's actions and preferences (such as login data, chosen language, font size, other display settings, etc.) so that they do not have to be indicated again when the user returns to visit the website or navigates from one page to another. Cookies are therefore used to perform computer authentications, session monitoring, and storage of information regarding the activities of users accessing a website and may also contain a unique identification code that allows tracking the user's navigation within the website for statistical or advertising purposes. During navigation on a website, the user may also receive cookies from websites or web servers other than the one they are visiting (so-called "third-party cookies"). Some operations could not be performed without the use of cookies, which in some cases are therefore technically necessary for the very operation of the website.

There are various types of cookies, depending on their characteristics and functions, and these can remain on the user's computer or mobile device for different periods: so-called session cookies, which are automatically deleted when the browser is closed; so-called persistent cookies, which remain on the user's device until a predetermined expiration date.

According to applicable regulations, the use of cookies does not always require the user's express consent. In particular, "technical" or "necessary" cookies, i.e., those used solely to carry out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communication network or to the extent strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user, do not require consent. In other words, these are cookies indispensable for the operation of the website or, in any case, necessary to perform activities requested by the user. Among the necessary cookies that do not require express consent for their use, the Italian Data Protection Authority (see provision Identification of simplified methods for the information and acquisition of consent for the use of cookies of May 8, 2014 - hereinafter only "Provision" - and, most recently, the Guidelines on cookies and other tracking tools of June 10, 2021 - hereinafter only "Guidelines") also includes:

• first-party and third-party statistical or analytical cookies, if tools are adopted that reduce the identifying power of cookies and the third party does not cross-reference the information collected with other information already available, used to collect information, in aggregate form, on the number of users and how they visit the website itself;
• browsing or session cookies, the disabling of which could affect the use of services accessible from login;
• functionality cookies, which allow the user to navigate according to a series of selected criteria (e.g., language) in order to improve the service rendered to the user.

Conversely, for "marketing cookies," i.e., those aimed at identifying the user's preferences in order to improve and personalize their browsing experience and/or show him marketing communications in line with the preferences expressed during browsing, as well as for third-party statistical or "measurement" cookies, if tools that reduce the identifying power of cookies are not adopted and the third party cross-references the information collected with others it already has, prior consent of the user is required, as well as for cookies that are not strictly necessary for the technical functionality of the website (see, for example, "experience" cookies used on the website for the improvement of the user experience).

It is informed that the Website uses exclusively necessary “technical” cookies: these cookies allow the Website to function properly and allow its contents to be viewed; their deactivation would result in malfunctions of the Website. Among the technical cookies are also to be included functionality cookies used to activate specific functions of the Website and to configure the Website according to your choices (e.g., language), to improve the browsing experience.
