Cookie Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small files stored on a user’s device when they visit a website or use an online application. They can be used to remember browsing information, enable the technical operation of a website, maintain an active session, save preferences or perform statistical measurements, among other purposes.

Some cookies are strictly necessary for a website or application to function. Others, such as analytics or advertising cookies, may require the user’s prior consent before they can be installed.

KaiperKit uses cookies in a limited and proportionate manner. We do not use advertising, remarketing or advanced commercial tracking cookies.

2. Scope of this Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy applies to:

• kaiperkit.com: KaiperKit’s public commercial and informational website.
• app.kaiperkit.com: KaiperKit’s private application used by individual users, researchers, research groups, universities, hospitals, R&D centres, institutions and organisations.

It is important to distinguish between these two environments:

3. Types of cookies

Cookies can be classified according to several criteria.

3.1. According to who manages them

• First-party cookies: managed directly by KaiperKit.
• Third-party cookies: managed by external organisations, such as Google in the case of Google Analytics.

3.2. According to their duration

• Session cookies: deleted when the user closes the browser.
• Persistent cookies: remain on the device for a defined period.

3.3. According to their purpose

• Technical or essential cookies: enable the website or application to operate, for example by maintaining an active session or protecting forms.
• Analytics or measurement cookies: provide aggregated information about how a website is used, which pages receive visits and how the website’s performance can be improved.
• Personalisation cookies: remember user preferences, such as language or visual settings.
• Advertising cookies: enable advertising to be displayed.
• Behavioural advertising cookies: create user profiles for the purpose of displaying personalised advertising.

KaiperKit does not currently use advertising or behavioural advertising cookies.

4. Cookies used on kaiperkit.com

On kaiperkit.com, KaiperKit’s public commercial website, we may use:

• Essential technical cookies: required for the website to load correctly, operate securely or remember the user’s cookie consent settings.
• Analytics cookies: used through Google Analytics to obtain aggregated statistical information about website use.

Analytics cookies should only be loaded after the user has given consent through the cookie banner or settings panel.

The information obtained through Google Analytics helps us understand, statistically, which pages are visited, how users reach the website, which content attracts the most interest and how we can improve the experience provided by the commercial website.

5. Cookies used on app.kaiperkit.com

On app.kaiperkit.com, KaiperKit only uses essential technical cookies required for the application to function correctly.

These cookies may be used to:

• Keep the user signed in.
• Securely identify the active session.
• Protect forms against CSRF attacks.
• Remember information that is strictly necessary for the application to operate.
• Maintain the security, stability and availability of the service.

KaiperKit’s private application does not use Google Analytics, advertising cookies, remarketing cookies, behavioural tracking cookies or tools for commercially measuring user behaviour.

This is particularly important for institutions, universities, hospitals, R&D centres, research groups and organisations using KaiperKit as a working environment. The application is designed to operate using only the minimum cookies required to provide the service.

6. Use of Google Analytics on kaiperkit.com

KaiperKit uses Google Analytics on the commercial website kaiperkit.com to obtain aggregated statistics about browsing and use of the website.

Google Analytics may use cookies to collect information such as:

• Pages visited.
• Approximate browsing time.
• Source of the visit.
• Device type.
• Browser used.
• Basic website interaction events.

This information is used to analyse website performance, improve content, detect navigation problems and understand which information is most useful to visitors.

Google Analytics is a service provided by Google. Google may process information on its own servers and in accordance with its own policies. These cookies are therefore considered third-party cookies.

KaiperKit does not use Google Analytics on app.kaiperkit.com.

7. Indicative table of cookies used

The following table provides an indicative overview of the cookies that may be used by KaiperKit. Their exact names may vary according to the technical configuration, framework used or version of Google Analytics.

8. Accepting, rejecting or configuring cookies

When accessing kaiperkit.com, users can accept, reject or configure non-essential cookies through the cookie banner or settings panel provided on the website.

Essential technical cookies do not require consent because they are necessary for the website or application to function correctly.

Google Analytics cookies will only be loaded if the user accepts them. If the user rejects them, they can continue browsing kaiperkit.com normally, although KaiperKit will not be able to measure their visit through Google Analytics.

No analytics cookie banner is displayed on app.kaiperkit.com because the application does not use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies. It only uses essential technical cookies.

9. How to withdraw or change consent

Users can change or withdraw their consent to analytics cookies at any time through the cookie settings panel available on kaiperkit.com.

To make this easier, KaiperKit may include a permanent link in the website footer such as:

Through this link, users can change their previous decision and accept or reject analytics cookies.

Users may also delete cookies through their browser settings. If cookies are deleted, the website may ask the user to make another decision about cookies during a future visit.

10. Managing cookies through browser settings

Users can allow, block or delete cookies through the settings of their browser. Each browser provides different options for managing cookies and website data.

As a general guide, you can review cookie settings in:

• Google Chrome.
• Mozilla Firefox.
• Apple Safari.
• Microsoft Edge.
• Other mobile or desktop browsers.

If all cookies are blocked, some parts of the website or application may stop functioning correctly. In particular, blocking technical cookies on app.kaiperkit.com may prevent users from signing in or using the platform.

11. Third-party cookies

On kaiperkit.com, Google Analytics cookies are third-party cookies managed by Google.

KaiperKit does not have complete control over the processing carried out by Google as an external provider. We therefore recommend reviewing the privacy and cookie information provided by Google for further details about how it processes information obtained through its services.

KaiperKit does not use third-party cookies on app.kaiperkit.com for analytics, advertising, remarketing or tracking purposes.

12. Changes to this Cookie Policy

KaiperKit may update this Cookie Policy when the cookies used change, new tools are introduced, the Google Analytics configuration is modified, applicable legislation changes or technical changes are made to the website or application.

Where changes are significant, KaiperKit may request the user’s consent again or provide information through a prominent notice on the website.
