2.1.1 Cookies

UELG utilizes browser cookies, which are small data files placed on a computer while browsing the Websites or using our Services. These cookies typically contain information associated with your web browser, such as website preferences or a user ID. This information allows online services to recognize you during interactions or return visits.

a. First-Party Cookies

These cookies are set by the domain you are visiting. When you access our Websites, cookies are served from our own domain to collect user data for remembering language settings, and similar purposes.

b. Third-Party Cookies

Cookies served by our marketing partners and analytics providers when you interact with our Websites. Third-party cookies enable functionality provided by third parties through the Websites such as analytics. The parties placing these cookies can recognize your device both on our Websites and on other websites.

c. Session Cookies

These cookies are stored only for the duration of your visit to the Websites and are deleted when you close your browser.

d. Persistent Cookies

These cookies remain stored after you leave our Websites and may be kept for weeks or even years, depending on their purpose and expiration settings.

2.1.2 Other tracking technologies

The Services may include web beacons/GIFs, pixels, page tags, embedded scripts, and other tracking technologies. These technologies consist of small, transparent image files or web programming code that record how you interact with the Services. They are often used alongside web browser cookies or other identifiers associated with your device.

Strictly necessary These cookies are indispensable for the proper functioning of the Websites and cannot be deactivated. Their primary purpose is to ensure the Websites’ security and fulfill functionalities expressly requested by you, such as configuring privacy settings or completing online forms.
Preferences These cookies empower the Websites to retain information that alters their functionality or presentation. Examples include your preferred language or geographical location. We may deploy these cookies directly, or they may be set by third-party service providers whose functionalities we have incorporated into our web pages. Denial of consent for these cookies may result in the impaired functioning of some or all of our Services.
Performance & Analytics These cookies facilitate our understanding of your interaction with the Websites by anonymously gathering and reporting data. They enable us to quantify the Websites’ traffic and identify traffic sources, thereby allowing us to measure and enhance the Websites’ performance. In particular, they provide insights into which pages are most and least visited, and how visitors navigate the Websites. Withholding consent for these cookies will impede our ability to ascertain your visits to the Websites and hinder our capacity to monitor their performance.
Marketing These cookies are employed to track user activity across various websites. Their objective is to deliver targeted advertisements that are relevant and engaging to the individual user, thereby enhancing their value for third-party advertisers. It is important to clarify that while these cookies do not directly store personal information, they function by uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.
Social Media These cookies are deployed by a variety of social media services we have incorporated into the Websites to facilitate content sharing with your social media networks. They possess the capability to track your browsing activity across different websites, thereby constructing a profile of your interests. This profile may influence the content and messages you encounter on other websites you visit. Denial of consent for these cookies may restrict your ability to utilize these social sharing tools. Numerous social media plugins (e.g., the Facebook “like” button) and other content-related functionalities (e.g., YouTube video player) also set social media and content cookies. We integrate these modules to enhance your browsing and interaction experience on the Websites. It is important to note that some of these third-party services may utilize the cookies they place for purposes beyond content sharing, such as behavioral advertising, website analytics, and market research.

These companies may utilize various methods to collect information.

It is crucial to emphasize that the information collected through this process does not enable us or the third-party companies to identify you personally. A comprehensive list of additional purposes for third-party cookies is provided in the separate table below.

We may authorize other companies to deploy cookies on our Services. These cookies allow them to collect data pertaining to your usage of our Services over time. This data may be combined with similar information from other services and companies.
