Definitions

Cookies are short fragments of text (letters and/or numbers) that allow the web server to store information on the client (the browser) to be reused during the same visit to the site (session cookies) or later, even after days (persistent cookies). Cookies are stored, based on user preferences, by the individual browser on the specific device used (computer, tablet, smartphone).

Similar technologies, such as, for example, web beacons, transparent GIFs and all forms of local storage introduced with HTML5, can be used to collect information on user behavior and use of services.

In the remainder of this document we will refer to cookies and all similar technologies simply using the term "cookies".

Types of cookies used on the site

Based on the characteristics and use of cookies we can distinguish different categories:

Technical cookies (analysis and performance). They are cookies necessary to collect and analyze traffic and use of the site anonymously. These cookies, without identifying the user, allow, for example, to detect if the same user returns to connect at different times. They also allow you to monitor the system and improve its performance and usability. Deactivating these cookies can be done without any loss of functionality.

Profiling cookies. These are permanent cookies used to identify (anonymously or otherwise) the user's preferences and improve their browsing experience. The TETHYS website, https://tethys.farm, does not use cookies of this type. 

Third party cookies

By visiting a website you may receive cookies both from the site visited (“owner”) and from sites managed by other organizations (“third parties”). An example is represented by the "social plugins" of Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and LinkedIn. These are parts of the visited page generated directly by the aforementioned sites and integrated into the page of the host site. The most common use of social plugins is aimed at sharing content on social networks.

The presence of these plugins involves the transmission of cookies to and from all sites managed by third parties. The management of the information collected by them is governed by their relevant information to which please refer. To ensure greater transparency and convenience, the web addresses of the various information and methods for managing cookies are shown below.

 Google Analytics

The TETHYS website also includes components transmitted by Google Analytics, a web traffic analysis service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Also in this case these are third-party cookies collected and managed anonymously to monitor and improve the performance of the host site (performance cookie).

Google Analytics uses "cookies" to collect and analyze information on usage behavior in an anonymous form TETHYS website (including your IP address). This information is collected by Google Analytics, which processes it for the purpose of drawing up reports for the ASSESSMENT CENTER operators regarding the activities on the sites. EVALUATION CENTRAL does not use (and does not allow third parties to use) the Google analysis tool to monitor or collect personally identifiable information. Google does not associate the IP address with any other data held by Google nor does it attempt to link an IP address with the identity of a user.

Duration of cookies

Some cookies (session cookies) remain active only until the browser is closed or the logout command is executed. Other cookies "survive" when the browser is closed and are also available on subsequent visits by the user. These cookies are called persistent and their duration is set by the server at the time of their creation.

Browsing the pages of TETHYS website, you can interact with sites managed by third parties who can create or modify persistent and profiling cookies.
