Cookies Policy
This policy explains what cookies are, how we use them and the choices you have made. It applies only to direct access to the Corpus Christi College website www.corpus.cam.ac.uk (the ‘Site’) and not to any subdomains, microsites or linked third-party or University of Cambridge websites, which are subject to their own privacy and cookie policies.
Notice for users When you first visit the Site, a cookie banner will appear asking for your consent to non-essential cookies. Non-essential cookies (including analytics, preference and marketing cookies) are not set unless and until you have actively consented to them. You can change the settings of your browser to block/delete the cookies. Further guidance is available on www.aboutcookies.org
We record your consent preferences using a CookieConsent cookie for 12 months, after which you may be prompted to confirm your preferences again. The CookieConsent cookie records which categories of cookies you have permitted; it does not store personal data.
Legal basis for processing The use of cookies on this Site may involve the processing of limited personal data, such as online identifiers and information about how the Site is used. The lawful basis for this processing depends on the category of cookie:
- Strictly necessary cookies are used to enable the Site to operate securely and effectively. These are processed based on the College’s legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) of the UK General Data Protection Regulation) in maintaining a functional website and do not require consent.
- All other cookies, including those used for preferences, analytics, or marketing, are used only with your active consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the UK General Data Protection Regulation).
Some analytics and embedded service providers (such as Google Analytics) may process data outside the UK. Where this occurs, the College ensures appropriate safeguards are in place, such as transfer risk assessments, in accordance with Chapter V of the UK General Data Protection Regulation (Articles 44-49) For more information about how Corpus Christi College processes personal data, please visit our Data Protection Statement for Website Users
What are cookies A ‘cookie’ is a small amount of data, which is sent to your browser from a website's computer and is stored on your device's hard drive. They are used to help you navigate websites efficiently and to perform certain functions. Cookies may last only while your browser is open or until a set expiry date, or until you manually delete them, whichever occurs first. We or third party providers may place cookies on your device. We have no control of third-party cookies.
Data collected We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience and analyse website traffic on the Site. The Site automatically logs certain information about every request made of it (see below for more details). This information is used for system administration, for bug tracking and for producing usage statistics. The logged information may be kept indefinitely.
Relevant subsets of this data may be passed to computer security teams as part of investigations of computer misuse involving the Site or other computing equipment in Corpus Christi College and the University of Cambridge. Data may be passed to the administrators of other computer systems to investigate Site access problems or system configuration errors. Data may incidentally be included in information passed to contractors and computer maintenance organisations working for the University, in which case it will be covered by appropriate non-disclosure agreements. Otherwise the logged information is not passed to any third-party except if required by law or as identified in this policy. Summary statistics are extracted from this data and some of these may be made publicly available, but those that are do not include information from which individuals could be identified.
The Site may use web cookies as part of user authentication (login) and to store information needed by other facilities. The Site uses Google Analytics, which uses cookies for tracking visitors to the Site. This is to gain more complete data on site use and will support the ongoing web review. Please be aware that the Site uses social media plugins, which may store their own cookies.
Logged data
- The name or network address of the computer making the request. Note that under some (but not all) circumstances it may be possible to infer from this the identity of the person making the request. Note also that the data recorded may be that of a web proxy rather than that of the originating client
- The username, when known during authenticated (logged in) access to the Site
- The date and time of connection
- The HTTP request, which contains the identification of the document requested
- The status code of the request (success or failure etc)
- The number of data bytes sent in response
- The contents of the HTTP Referrer header supplied by the browser
- The content of the HTTP User-Agent header supplied by the browser
Logging of additional data may be enabled temporarily from time to time for specific purposes. In addition, the computers on which the Site is hosted keep records of attempts (authorised and unauthorised) to use them for purposes other than access to the web server. This data typically includes the date and time of the attempt, the service to which access was attempted, the name or network address of the computer making the connection and may include details of what was done or was attempted to be done.
Logged data is retained only for as long as necessary for system administration, security monitoring and diagnostic purposes, after which it is deleted or anonymised in accordance with the College policies.
