Statement

UPOSTAL/UES informs about the use of cookies on its website through the domains http://www.upostal.com.uy and https://www.ues.com.uy

This cookie policy applies exclusively to the website currently being visited by the user.

What are cookies?

Cookies are files that can be downloaded to your device through web pages. They are tools essential for providing numerous information society services. Among other things, they allow a website to store and retrieve information about a user's browsing habits or their device and, depending on the information obtained, can be used to recognize the user and improve the service offered.

Types of cookies

Depending on who manages the domain from which cookies are sent and processes the data obtained, two types can be distinguished:

• First-party cookies: those sent to the user's device from a device or domain managed by the website editor providing the requested service.
• Third-party cookies: those sent to the user's device from a device or domain not managed by the editor, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through cookies.

If the cookies are installed from a device or domain managed by the editor but the information collected is managed by a third party, they are not considered first-party cookies.

• Session cookies: designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website. They are usually used to store information only needed for providing the requested service in a single session (e.g., a list of purchased products).
• Persistent cookies: data remains stored on the device and can be accessed and processed during a period defined by the cookie manager, which can range from a few minutes to several years.

Lastly, cookies can also be classified by their purpose into five types:

• Technical cookies: allow the user to browse a website and use various services such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, remembering items in a shopping cart, completing a purchase, registering for events, using security elements, storing content for video or audio streaming, or sharing content via social networks.
• Personalization cookies: allow the user to access the service with predefined general features based on criteria such as language, browser type, or regional settings.
• Analytics cookies: allow the monitoring and analysis of user behavior on websites. The collected information is used to measure activity and create navigation profiles to improve services based on user usage data.
• Advertising cookies: enable the most efficient management of advertising spaces.
• Behavioral advertising cookies: store information on users’ behavior obtained from continuous observation of their browsing habits, allowing the development of a specific profile to display ads accordingly.
• External social network cookies: allow users to interact with content on different platforms (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.) and are generated only for users of those networks. The use of these cookies and collected information is governed by the privacy policy of the corresponding platform.
