1. Introduction
To make the Uma website function properly, we sometimes place small data files called cookies on your device.
2. What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site.
- First-party cookies are cookies that are set by the website you are visiting. Only that website can read them. In addition, a website may use external services, which also set their own cookies, known as third-party cookies.
- Persistent cookies are cookies that are stored on your computer and are not automatically deleted when you close your browser, unlike a session cookie, which is deleted when you close your browser.
When you visit our website you will be asked to accept or refuse cookies.
The purpose is to enable the site to remember your preferences (such as language, etc.) for a period of time.
This way you don't have to re-enter them when browsing the site during the same visit.
Cookies may also be used to compile anonymized statistics about your browsing experience on our site.
3. Different types of cookies
3.1 Essential cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for websites to provide basic functions or to access certain features. Such functions include the ability to log in, add items to your shopping cart in an online store, or purchase items online.
These cookies do not require permission.
3.2 Functional cookies
Functional cookies are mainly used to improve the performance of a website, as certain functions may not be available without these cookies. Functional cookies are not essential for the functioning of a website, but they do allow someone to remember user preferences and settings.
Remembering such preferences and settings, for example user location, helps display personalized news stories and weather reports.
These cookies require permission.
3.3 Statistics cookies
Statistical cookies monitor site performance and track user actions, but they don't collect any personally identifiable information—they collect data anonymously and use it to improve the website. Statistical cookies can count page visits, examine how much time a user spends on a website, and analyze page load speeds to improve performance.
These cookies require permission.
3.4 Marketing cookies
Marketing cookies help attract customers with targeted advertising and can also be shared with other advertisers so that the performance of such advertising can be tracked and measured. Marketing cookies also help build user profiles – by tracking data, websites can offer their customers the most suitable advertisements for their needs and generate advertising revenue.
Marketing cookies are almost always third-party cookiesSuch cookies track users from one website to another. This allows websites to target users by displaying advertising banners at other addresses online, even after the user has left their specific site and moved on to another.
These cookies require permission.

5.1 Google Tag Manager
Google Tag Manager is used to simplify the management of tracking tools and scripts. It helps us implement and organize scripts like Google Analytics. Google Tag Manager does not place cookies itself, but enables other tools to do so. Any cookies placed by this are subject to the cookie policies of the relevant third parties. More information can be found in the Google Privacy Policy.
5.2 Google Analytics
Google Analytics helps us understand how visitors use our website. Through Google Analytics, we collect anonymous data, such as the number of visitors, the pages viewed, and how users navigate through our site.

Depending on your cookie preferences, these tools may use cookies to collect certain data. For example:
- Statistics cookies: To keep anonymous usage statistics.
