Purpose. The Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute uses cookies for the following purposes:
-
Technical cookies: Technical cookies allow the user to navigate the website and to use its different options and services. They include the cookies used to manage and operate the website and enable its functions and services, e.g., overseeing traffic and data communication, identifying sessions, managing restricted access, managing payments, avoiding fraudulent use, requesting registration or participation in an event, storing content necessary to broadcast video or audio and enabling dynamic content.

-
Advertising cookies: Advertising cookies, which display advertisements to the user, manage website advertising spaces usually included by third parties that adapt advertising content so that it is relevant to the user and thus avoid, for instance, showing advertisements that have already been viewed. The Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute website does not directly use these cookies, but its website includes videos on the YouTube platform, which may install and modify cookies periodically.

How to reject or delete cookies
The website user can accept, reject or select specific types of cookies to be installed in various ways:
-
Cookie banner. Through this banner which pops up when you access our website, you can accept, reject or select cookies. If the website’s cookie management system does not allow cookies to be disabled once activated, you will need to delete them through your browser settings or the third party’s own system.
-
Browser configuration. One option is to activate the private browsing mode to stop your browser from storing browsing history, website passwords, cookies and other information on your visits to websites.
Another option is to activate the do-not-track (DNT) function so that the browser instructs the websites you visit not to track your browsing habits. By default, the DNT function is disabled in browsers. If, via the cookie banner, you have accepted cookies but later wish to reject them, you must reconfigure your browser settings to choose which cookies to allow and reject. We recommend that you consult the “Help” section of your browser menu to obtain information about the different cookie management options available.
Note that if you block all cookies, the website may not work properly.
