This privacy policy applies when you use the website of the conference.

I. COLLECTION OF PERSONAL DATA VIA THE WEBSITE AND ASSOCIATED PURPOSES.

The conference website « 2021 SPT – Technological Imaginaries », 28-30 June 2021 (2021spt.com) is required to collect personal data concerning you, and in several places on the site, each time with a very precise purpose:

General contact form

The latter collects your name and e-mail address, as well as the « object » and the content of « your message » (which may sometimes contains personnal data) .This information is necessary to be able to contact you in return and to respond to your requests and questions as soon as possible.

Conference registration form

It collects your title, first name, last name, email address, affiliation, address, Zip code, City, Country, in order to process your registration request, to be able to draw up an order form, a payment confirmation and an invoice (if requested by you via the « contact » box of the website) corresponding to the services selected (type of conference registration), and correctly record your payment. The informations collected through the Conference registration form also allows us to interact with you by email and inform you about the conference preparation and organization, as well as the details of your intervention (if you are one of the speakers at the conference).

The Society for Philosophy and Technology

« 2021 SPT – Technological Imaginaries » conference fees include the mandatory SPT membership, which covers membership from June 2021 through December 2022 (if you have already paid your membership dues for 2021, your portion will cover your dues through December 2022). SPT Membership assumes that the Society for Philosophy and Technology (SPT) knows who you are, and can communicate with you by postal or digital means. We therefore share with the SPT your name, affiliation, address, country and email, so that the SPT can finalize your membership, be in touch with you and give you access rights to the services it offers to its community of which you become a member by registering to « 2021 SPT – Technological Imaginaries ».

II. COOKIES POLICY

A cookie is a small text file that allows the website to store tokens of information (an ‘identifier’) in your browser used only by the website.

As soon as you arrive on the website of the « 2021 SPT – Technological Imaginaries », we propose you to accept cookies present on the website. If you refuse, you won’t be able to get access to the website, as well as to the live stream parallel sessions, panels and plenaries because the website use necessary cookies for the good working of the functionalities dedicated to its legitimate and unique purpose (make it possible for an international conference to be held online). 

Two types of cookies are on the conference website: 

1) proprietary cookies that are created by the website itself, and that are necessary for its functioning (wordpress cookies) ; these cookies cannot be refused without compromising the good working of the website and its legitimate purpose.

2) third party cookies that are created by and linked to services (extensions, plugins) embedded in the website. Most of these cookies are necessary for the proper functioning of the service using them; other cookies are not necessary but are useful for analytical and user experience improvement purposes. As such cookies are issued by third parties, their use and storage are subject to their own cookies and privacy policies, a link to which is provided below (see below our “About third parties softwares and extensions used by the website” section).

The cookies present on the website are the following: 

Proprietary cookies

WordPress cookies are necessary to keep loged-in visitors logged while using and visiting the several pages of the website. They are not used to determine user’s personal identity while visiting the website, nor for tracking purposes, anonymized analytics, marketing or financial purpose.

Third party cookies

+ Plugin Crisp uses necessary cookies for the helpdesk chatbox, to guarantee the functions of the service offered. According to Crisp privacy policy, the cookie is not used for tracking purposes, nor for marketing or financial purpose. Crisp claims to use some cookies for statistics made up of collected and aggregated IP addresses. Anonymized analytics helps them protect their chatbox service from botnets and spam attacks, which occur frequently.

+ youtube cookies from Youtube collect unique identifiers tied to the browser, application, or device you’re using. When you’re not signed in to a Google Account, Google Privacy Policy claims Youtube cookies help doing things like maintaining your language preferences across browsing sessions.

Note : for embedding youtube video on a website like “SPT 2021 – Technological Imaginaries” website, Youtube provides a code that you just have to copy and use for this embedding purpose. Youtube provides an “enhanced-privacy mode” code which changes the embed code in a youtube-nocookie mode. After some research, we find that this option would only send a message of our intention, but it won’t stop people from being tracked by Youtube Google video service. Indeed, the “enhanced-privacy mode” does not delete all cookies (a cookie is set when the video is activated) and it replaces activity tracking cookies by using local storage (which can thus perform, under another name, the same functions as tracking cookies) to store a unique device identifier. Since this is done without anyone’s consent and GDPR compliance, we choose not to use enhanced-privacy. While choosing this feature might have honored our intentions in the eyes of the public, such a choice would likely be complicit in deception. We prefer the choice of loyalty and transparency. For more information on the pseudo “enhanced-privacy mode” of Youtube, see here.

Local storage by third parties plugins and extensions

Local storage can be viewed (simplistically) as an improvement on cookies, providing much greater storage capacity. In addition with localStorage, the data is not sent back to the server for every HTTP request (HTML, images, JavaScript, CSS, etc.), which thus reduces the amount of traffic between client and server, and then load times. The user has always the ability to clear the browser data/cache to erase all localStorage data.

Third parties using local storage:

+ Google:

– Font.googleapis.com is a cookie-free domain using local storage for wordpress template fonts. It is not used by the “2021 SPT – Technological Imaginations” site for tracking purposes, nor for anonymous analysis, nor for marketing or financial purposes. According to Google’s Fonts privacy statement, no cookies are sent by site visitors to the Google Fonts API.

– Gstatic.com : like font.googleapis.com, gstatic.com is a cookieless domain to deliver static content for Google. Google uses this domain to off-loaded static content (JavaScript code, images and CSS) to a different domain name in an effort to reduce bandwidth usage and increase network performance for the end user. Gstatics is not used by the “2021 SPT – Technological Imaginations” site for tracking purposes, nor for anonymous analysis, nor for marketing or financial purposes. Gstatic.com is subjected to Google Privacy Policy.

Cookie, Local Storage management & web browsers

Most web browsers are automatically set to accept cookies. Your browser offers you the opportunity to modify these standard settings so that all cookies are systematically rejected or that only some of the cookies are accepted or rejected depending on their sender. We draw your attention however to the fact that the refusal of the deposit of necessary of functional cookies on your terminal is nevertheless likely to alter your experience of user as well as your access to certain services or functionalities of the present Web site.
