Cookies are small amounts of information that are stored in the browser used by each User (on the various devices used for browsing) so that the server remembers certain information that will subsequently only be read by the server that implemented it. Cookies make browsing easier and more user-friendly and they do not damage the browsing device.
Cookies are automatic procedures for collecting information related to the preferences determined by the User during their visit to the Website in order to recognise them as a User and to personalise their experience and use of the Website. They may also be used, for example, to help identify and resolve errors.
Information collected through cookies may include the date and time of visits to the Website, the pages viewed, the time spent on the Website and the sites visited immediately before and after it. However, no cookie allows contact with the User’s telephone number or any other means of personal contact. No cookie can extract information from the User’s hard drive or steal personal information. The only way that the User’s private information can be incorporated into the Cookie file is if the User personally supplies that information to the server.
Cookies that allow a person to be identified are considered personal data. Therefore, the aforementioned Privacy Policy will apply to them. In this regard, the User’s consent will be required for the use of cookies. This consent, based on a genuine choice, will be communicated prior to initial processing by means of an affirmative, positive decision, which will be removable and documented.
Third-party cookies
These are cookies that are used and managed by external entities that provide SEID Lab with services requested by SEID Lab to improve the Website and user experience when browsing the Website. The main purposes of third-party cookies are to obtain statistics regarding access and to analyse browsing information, i.e., how the User interacts with the Website.
The information obtained refers, for example, to the number of pages visited, the language, the location of the User’s IP address, the number of Users who access the page, the frequency and recurrence of visits, the time per visit, the browser used, the operator or type of device from which the visit is made. This information is used to improve the Website and to detect new needs so that we can offer Users an optimum quality Content and/or service. In all cases, the information is collected anonymously and trend reports are produced for the Website without identifying individual users.

Social media cookies
SEID Lab includes social media plug-ins, which allow access to social media platforms from the Website. Social media cookies may therefore be stored in the User’s browser. The owners of these social media platforms have their own data protection and cookie policies, meaning that in each case they are responsible for their own files and their own privacy practices. The User should refer to them for information about these cookies and the processing of their personal data, if applicable.
