Cookies used on the website
The cookies used on this website are identified below, along with their type and function.
The University of Malaga website uses Matomo, a web analytics service hosted on our servers, which allows us to measure and analyze website navigation. You may see cookies from this service in your browser. Based on the above classification, these are first-party, session, and analytics cookies.
Web analytics provides information on the number of users accessing the website, the number of pages viewed, the frequency and duration of visits, the browser used, the internet service provider, the language, the device used, and the city associated with their IP address. This information enables this portal to provide a better and more appropriate service.
To ensure anonymity, your information will be anonymized by truncating the IP address before being stored, so that it is not used to locate or collect personally identifiable information from site visitors.
Finally, a first-party, technical, session cookie is downloaded to manage the user's consent for the use of cookies on the website. Its purpose is to remember which users have accepted cookies and which have not, so that those who have accepted them are not shown the cookie banner at the bottom of the page.
