Privacy

What this website records about your visit, and how to stop it.

In short

This website sets no cookies and runs no scripts. It counts visits with Matomo, a web analytics tool that Politecnico di Milano runs on its own servers. The figures are only used in aggregate — how many people visit, which pages they read, which countries they come from — to report on the project’s reach to the European Commission and to improve the site. You can opt out at any time.

Who is responsible

The data controller is Politecnico di Milano, Piazza Leonardo da Vinci 32, 20133 Milano, Italy. Questions about your data go to privacy@polimi.it.

What is recorded

Every page of this site includes a small invisible image served by analytics.deib.polimi.it. When your browser fetches it, Matomo receives:

  • the address and title of the page you are reading;
  • your IP address, from which Matomo works out your approximate location;
  • the browser, operating system and type of device your browser reports, and your preferred language;
  • the date and time.

Page views that come from the same IP address and browser within a short time are grouped into one visit. No cookie is used to recognise you.

The records are kept on Politecnico di Milano’s servers in Italy, and are not transferred outside the European Union. They are kept only for the duration of the project, and for up to 12 months after it ends for reporting purposes.

They are not shared with anyone else or used for advertising. The exceptions are when Politecnico di Milano is required by law to disclose them to a public authority, or needs them to establish or defend a legal claim, for instance over misuse of the site.

The processing rests on a task carried out in the public interest, making the results of publicly funded research known, or on Politecnico di Milano’s legitimate interest in knowing how the site is used (Article 6(1)(e) and (f) of the General Data Protection Regulation). To find out more about the legal basis, write to privacy@polimi.it.

For operation and maintenance, the server that hosts this site may also keep logs of the requests it receives, which include the IP address.

Cookies and other servers

This site sets no cookies. The only cookie involved is the opt-out cookie described below, which you set yourself if you choose to.

Fonts, images and styles all come from this site’s own server. Apart from the analytics image, your browser contacts no other server while you read the site. Links to other services, such as LinkedIn and Zenodo, take you to sites with their own privacy policies.

Opting out

You can stop your visits from being recorded in any of these ways:

  • The opt-out page. Untick the box on Matomo’s opt-out page. This stores an opt-out cookie in your browser, and Matomo then ignores your visits. It covers every Politecnico di Milano site that uses the same Matomo, lasts until you delete your cookies, and has to be repeated in each browser you use.
  • A content blocker. Blockers such as uBlock Origin, and browsers with built-in tracker blocking such as Brave, usually stop the analytics image from loading, and your visit is then not counted.
  • Do Not Track. If your browser sends a Do Not Track request, Matomo does not record your visit.

Your rights

Under the General Data Protection Regulation you can ask for access to the data held about you, and for it to be corrected or erased; you can ask for its processing to be restricted, and object to it (Articles 15 to 21). Write to privacy@polimi.it; requests are free of charge and answered within one month.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Italian data protection authority, the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali.
