Cookie Policy
Last updated: 2 October 2026. This policy explains cookies and related technologies on spore-med.eu, the SPORE-MED project website coordinated by the Universitat de Girona through LEQUIA.
Your choice
Essential cookies support the website and remember your privacy choices. Optional categories are disabled until you choose to enable them. Use “Accept all”, “Reject optional cookies” or “View preferences” in the banner. You can reopen it at any time with “Manage consent”. Refusing optional cookies does not prevent you from reading the website or contacting the project, although embedded videos and some external features will remain unavailable.
Services and cookie categories
| Service | Purpose and category | Storage and duration |
|---|---|---|
| Complianz, on this website | Remembers your consent choices and whether the banner has been dismissed. Essential. | Uses first-party cookies with the cmplz_ prefix, such as cmplz_functional, cmplz_preferences, cmplz_statistics, cmplz_marketing, cmplz_banner-status and cmplz_policy_id. The consent renewal period configured for this website is 365 days. Browser settings or deleting cookies may shorten it. |
| WordPress | Session, authentication and administration functions. Essential when these functions are used. | Login-related cookies are used for authorised administrators. Their duration depends on the session and the “Remember me” option. Visitors do not need an account to read the site. |
| Google Analytics, via Site Kit | Audience and usage statistics. Optional statistics. | When analytics storage is authorised, Google Analytics can use first-party cookies such as _ga and _ga_*. Google’s documented default duration is two years; actual duration can differ with the property’s settings or browser restrictions. |
| YouTube / Google | Displays embedded project videos. Optional external media, grouped under Marketing because the provider may also use tracking technologies. | Videos are held behind a consent placeholder. Once enabled, YouTube can use its own cookies and storage. YSC is a session cookie; other identifiers and durations depend on Google’s settings, your account and your choices. |
| Google Fonts | Loads external typefaces. Optional external content. | A font request can disclose technical connection information to Google even without setting a cookie. External font requests are blocked by the consent manager until the relevant optional service is enabled. |
The examples above identify the technologies associated with the configured services. Not every cookie is created on every visit, and third-party names and durations can change. For current provider details, see Google Analytics cookie usage, Google’s cookie information and Complianz’s consent-cookie documentation.
External connections and international processing
Optional Google services can process technical and usage information outside the European Economic Area. Details of their processing and safeguards are available in Google’s Privacy Policy. Google Consent Mode is configured to deny analytics and advertising storage by default for visitors in the European region. Consent Mode may still transmit limited cookieless technical signals; refusing cookies does not necessarily mean that no connection to Google occurs.
Change your preferences or delete cookies
You can withdraw or change optional consent using the controls above or the “Manage consent” tab. Withdrawal affects future use. Your browser also lets you inspect, block and delete cookies and local storage already saved on your device. Blocking all cookies may affect login and other essential functions.
