Preferences on your device
Language and accessibility choices are stored in your browser’s local storage. The page code does not send these preferences to the laboratory. You can remove them by clearing this site’s browser data.
Email and newsletter requests
The contact page has no message form. Email links open your email application. Information is sent only when you send the email, through your email provider to the displayed recipient.
The newsletter control prepares a subscription request addressed to talosailab@gmail.com. It does not register you automatically, send a confirmation email or operate an automated mailing list. You can request removal by emailing the laboratory.
Please avoid sending sensitive personal information. Contact the laboratory or the University’s Data Protection Officer for information about access to correspondence and retention periods.
Maps and external content
The contact map connects to Google only after you press “Load Google Map”. Google receives connection information and may use cookies. “Hide map” removes the embedded map; it does not erase information already received by Google. The choice is not saved between page visits.
Other pages may load Google Calendar, Google Fonts or images hosted by external providers as the page opens. These providers receive connection information such as your IP address. The map button does not control those services.
Hosting and external links
Hosting services may keep technical request logs. Their configuration and retention period are managed by the hosting administrator. External links open services with their own privacy practices.
Questions and rights
For requests concerning your personal data, including access, correction, deletion or objections where applicable, contact the University’s Data Protection Officer.
