This Cookies Policy explains how the ALCHEMHY project website uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit and interact with the website. It should be read together with the ALCHEMHY Privacy Policy, which provides further information on the processing of personal data through the project website. The use of cookies is managed in accordance with applicable European data protection and electronic communications legislation, including Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation – GDPR) and Directive 2002/58/EC on privacy and electronic communications, as applicable.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit a website. Cookies may be used to ensure that a website functions correctly, remember user preferences and, where applicable and subject to user preferences, collect information about how the website is used. Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser, while others remain on your device for a defined period.
2. How does the ALCHEMHY website use cookies?
The ALCHEMHY website uses cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes: Strictly necessary cookies These cookies are required for the proper functioning of the website or to remember users’ cookie preferences. They may be used without prior consent where they are strictly necessary for the operation of the website or for providing a service requested by the user. Analytics cookies These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website and allow us to monitor and improve its performance and usability. The website currently uses Google Analytics and Metricool for website analytics and performance monitoring.

The website also uses Metricool for website analytics and performance monitoring. The specific cookies or similar technologies used by Metricool may depend on the technical configuration of the website. The list of cookies may change when the website or the services supporting it are updated. The cookies currently used should therefore be periodically reviewed through the website’s cookie-consent management tool.
4. Website analytics
Subject to users’s cookie preferences, analytics tools may collect information about how visitors interact with the ALCHEMHY website. This may include information
such as:
- pages visited.
- approximate duration of visits.
- referral sources.
- browser and device information.
- information about interaction with website content.
This information is used to monitor website performance, understand how project content is accessed and improve the website and its usability. This also fits the DMP, which identifies website statistics and social/communication analytics among the data handled within WP7.
5. How can I manage or withdraw my cookie preferences?
When visiting the ALCHEMHY website, users can manage non-essential cookies through the cookie-consent banner. Users can accept or reject non-essential cookies and can review or change their preferences at any time through the website’s Cookie Settings.

- Mozilla Firefox
- Apple Safari
- Opera
6. Third-party services
The ALCHEMHY website may rely on third-party service providers for website functionality, analytics and cookie-consent management. Depending on the services used and their technical configuration, these providers may process information collected through cookies or similar technologies. Where such processing involves personal data, it is handled in accordance with applicable data- protection requirements and the ALCHEMHY Privacy Policy. This is consistent with the DMP/Privacy Policy, which already recognises that external cloud and service providers may be involved in the processing of project website-related data.
7. Transfers outside the European Economic Area
Some third-party service providers may process information using infrastructure located outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, appropriate safeguards and transfer mechanisms will be applied in accordance with applicable data-protection legislation. Further information regarding the processing of personal data can be requested at:
I would keep this fairly general because the DMP itself currently refers to providers operating both inside and outside the EEA rather than establishing one specific transfer arrangement for every service.
8. Your data-protection rights
Where the use of cookies or similar technologies involves the processing of personal data, you may
have rights under applicable data-protection legislation, including, depending on the circumstances:
- the right to withdraw consent
- the right of access
- the right to rectification
- the right to erasure
- the right to restriction of processing
- the right to data portability
- the right to object to processing
- the right to lodge a complaint with the competent Data Protection Authority

Further information about these rights and the processing of personal data through the website is available in the ALCHEMHY Privacy Policy.
These rights are already described in Annex B, so keeping a shortened reference here avoids unnecessarily duplicating the full Privacy Policy.

website or applicable requirements change.
The latest version will always be made available on the ALCHEMHY website and will indicate the date
