Back to homePolivoz wishes to inform you that this Conference Cycle platform uses cookies and other forms of storage on your device. Unlike common practice, they are not used here for navigation statistics or advertising: they are limited to what is necessary to provide the service, plus a single item of external video content that only loads if you authorise it. This policy describes each of those elements and how you can withdraw your choice at any time.

When browsing the internet, small items of information are sometimes stored on your computer or device, such as temporary files or cookies. Each cookie belongs to the browser you use and contains data such as an identifier and the name of the site, along with some figures. You do not provide that information directly: it is collected automatically in support of your visit.
These items are intended to make browsing more efficient and straightforward, allowing the site to recognise you on later visits or to keep the preferences you have indicated.
In addition to cookies, a site may keep information in the browser's local storage, which serves an equivalent function. This policy covers both forms, because from the standpoint of your privacy what matters is what is kept and for what purpose, not the technical mechanism used.
As a general matter, a distinction is drawn between first-party cookies, sent to your device from a domain managed by Polivoz and from which the service you requested is provided, and third-party cookies, sent from a domain managed by another entity, which is then the one processing the information obtained.
By purpose, the usual categories are four. Necessary cookies enable the site's basic functions, such as navigation and access to secure areas, and without them the site cannot work properly. Functional cookies allow additional functionality or personalisation to be offered, and may be set by the site itself or by external providers whose services have been incorporated into its pages. Statistics cookies make it possible to understand, in aggregate form, how visitors interact with the pages. Advertising cookies are used to follow visitors across different sites in order to show them adverts.
Of those four categories, this site uses only the first two: the necessary ones, which do not require consent, and a single functional cookie for external content, the YouTube video player, which stays blocked until you authorise it. No statistics or advertising cookie is used, and therefore there is nothing to authorise in those two categories.
For more information on how Google processes personal data when you give your consent to the video content, you may consult its own privacy policy.
The following list is complete. All of these items are first-party, that is, sent by this same site from a domain managed by Polivoz, and none of them is used for advertising or for building profiles. In addition, the library that manages address parameters writes and immediately deletes a probe key (nuqs-localStorage-test) to check whether the browser allows storage: it holds no data and nothing remains stored.
The following list is complete. Only the first requires your prior consent, and it is the only one that stays blocked until you grant it. The other two deliver content or features you requested and install no cookies, but your IP address does reach their provider, which is why they are declared too.
When you access the site you will see a notice informing you how you can give or refuse your consent. Refusing is as simple as accepting and both options are presented at the same level, without needing to enter any additional screen in order to decline.
Your choice is kept exclusively in this browser's local storage, under the key cookie_consent. It is not sent to any server, it is not added to any database, it is not linked to your account and neither your IP address nor any fingerprint of your device is recorded. This was decided deliberately: creating an identifier in order to prove that we do not track you would be, precisely, the point at which we started tracking you. The trade-off, which we state transparently, is that if you clear your browser data or use another device we will ask for your consent again.
The data controller is Polivoz, domiciled in Ecuador. For any question about this policy, or to exercise your rights of access, rectification, erasure, objection, portability and restriction of processing, you may write to info@polivoz.com. If you believe your request was not handled properly, you may lodge a complaint with Ecuador's Superintendency for Personal Data Protection.
Some of the people taking part in the programme are students who may be minors. If you are under fifteen, your registration and the processing of your data must have the authorisation of your legal representative, to whom this information is also addressed. Nothing described on this page is used to build profiles of minors or to target advertising at them, because we carry out neither of those two activities with anyone.
You can change your choice at any time from the preferences section on this same page, as well as from the link available in the footer of every page on the site. The procedure for withdrawing consent is as simple as the one used to obtain it.
When you withdraw consent for external content we stop loading it immediately, the player is removed from the page, including in any other tabs you have open, and, when the change is made from the preferences panel, the page reloads in order to discard code that had already loaded in memory.
There is a technical limit that should be stated: we cannot access information that the external provider may have kept under its own domain. Withdrawal prevents later loads, but to remove what that provider has already stored you must clear the site data from your browser or review the privacy controls of your Google account.
Independently of the above, at any time you can disable or delete the cookies already installed from the settings of the browser you use. Below you will find access to the information pages of the main browsers:
Depending on how long they stay active on a device, two categories are distinguished. Session cookies are designed to collect and keep data while you access the site, and are used to store information that only needs to be kept while the requested service is being provided. Persistent cookies keep the data on the device for a period defined by the controller, which may range from a few minutes to several years.
On this site, the session-refresh cookies and the language cookie are session cookies and are deleted when you close the browser. The access cookies have a validity of about three hours. For the items saved in local storage, the data is emptied when you sign out or when the corresponding process ends, while the key, now without content, remains until you clear your browser data, as detailed in the list above. Your cookie choice expires after one hundred and eighty days, after which we will ask for your consent again.
You should also bear in mind that some browsers delete site storage on their own for sites you have not visited in a while, so we may ask for your consent again without you having taken any action.
To find out the validity of the cookies and storage downloaded to your device you can check your browser settings, in the privacy and site-data section: it shows what this site has saved, along with its expiry, and from that same place you can delete it. Links to each browser's instructions can be found above.
You can change your choice here at any time. Withdrawing consent is as simple as granting it, is free of charge and requires no justification from you.
Necessary cookies
Necessary cookies help make the site usable by enabling basic functions such as navigation and access to secure areas. The site cannot work properly without them, so they do not require your consent.
Functional cookies for external content
These cookies allow the site to offer additional functionality through external providers' services incorporated into our pages. If you do not authorise them, that content will not load and the rest of the site will keep working normally.
Statistics and advertising cookies
This site uses none. There are no navigation-statistics tools, advertising, tracking pixels, tag managers, session recording or profiling, so there is nothing to authorise in these two categories.
If you withdraw an authorisation that had been granted, the page will reload: that is the only way to discard external code that had already loaded.
Polivoz may amend this cookie policy, among other reasons, because of legal or regulatory requirements, or in order to align it with the instructions of the competent data protection authority. We therefore recommend reviewing this page periodically to learn of any changes that may have been made.
Where the amendment consists of correcting wording or improving an explanation, we will update the date in the header and your choice will remain in force. Where it affects the substance of what you authorised, because a new external service is incorporated, because different data leaves your device or because a new purpose is added, we will raise the version of the policy and ask for your consent again, with all optional categories switched off once more.
Completely removes the record kept in this browser. The notice will be shown again as on your first visit and all external content will be blocked once more.
