Our Cookie Policy has been updated.

At UpLink we believe in being clear and open about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy applies to any upLink product or service that links to this policy or incorporates it by reference. We use cookies and similar technologies to collect and use data as part of our Services as defined in our Privacy Policy and which includes our sites, communications, and mobile applications. In the spirit of transparency, this policy provides detailed information about how and when we use these technologies.

What technologies are used?

Type of technology	Description
Cookies	A cookie is a small file placed onto your device that enables UpLink features and functionality. Any browser visiting our sites may receive cookies from us or cookies from third parties such as our customers, partners or service providers. We use two types of cookies: persistent cookies and session cookies. A persistent cookie may help us recognize you as an existing user, so it’s easier to return to UpLink or interact with our Services without signing in again. A persistent cookie stays in your browser and will be read by UpLink when you return to our site. Session cookies last only as long as the session (usually the current visit to a website or a browser session).
Pixels	A pixel is a tiny image that may be found within web pages and emails, requiring a call (which provides device and visit information) to our servers in order for the pixel to be rendered in those web pages and emails. We use pixels to learn more about your interactions with email or web content. Pixels can also enable us and third parties to place cookies on your browser.
Local storage	Local storage enables a website or application to store information locally on your device(s). Local storage may be used to improve the UpLink experience, for example, by enabling features, remembering your preferences and speeding up site functionality.
