We use cookies (data storage and retrieval devices on Users’ terminal equipment) to analyse website traffic and performance and to make the website work better and be more user- friendly.

Our installation and use of cookies depends on the settings you make both in the cookie banner and through your browser. All the information about what cookies are and how we use them is available in our Cookie Policy.

  1. What are your rights?

You can ask the Universidade da Coruña to confirm whether your personal data is being processed and, if so, to access it. You can also request the rectification of inaccurate data or, where appropriate, request their deletion when, among other reasons, the data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected.

In certain circumstances, you may request that we restrict the processing of your data, in which case we will only retain it for the purpose of legal proceedings or the defence of claims.

 You may revoke your consent at any time. Once the revocation has been exercised, which will not be retroactive unless a legal provision imposes such a character, your data may be kept blocked during the limitation periods established by the applicable regulations.

Remember that you may also object to the processing of your data, particularly with regard to commercial communications, in which case we will not process the data, except for compelling legitimate reasons or for the exercise or defence of possible claims.
