This Cookie Policy, last updated on 7 August 2025, is drafted in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR). It applies to all visitors of the uberti.eu website, with a particular emphasis on the rights guaranteed to users located in the European Economic Area (EEA).
This document is provided in multiple languages for user convenience. The German-language version is the sole legally binding document and shall prevail in the event of any discrepancy, dispute, or interpretative divergence between the German version and any translation, in accordance with the Controller’s legal seat in Germany.
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy describes how the Data Controller uses cookies and other tracking technologies on the uberti.eu website (“the Site”). The purpose is to provide you with clear and comprehensive information on how these tools are used and to allow you to manage your preferences in an informed and granular manner.
For managing cookie consent, the Site uses the CookieYes platform, which ensures that you have control over the tracking technologies used.
2. What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files that are saved on your device when you visit a website. They are used for various functions, such as ensuring the site works correctly, remembering your preferences (e.g., language), analysing traffic, or tracking behaviour for marketing purposes.
Along with cookies, the Site may use similar technologies such as scripts and web beacons (or pixel tags), which are small pieces of code or images used to monitor traffic and user behaviour. For simplicity, in this policy, all these technologies will be referred to as “cookies”.
3. Types of cookies used
The Site uses different categories of cookies, each with a specific purpose:
- Technical (or Essential) Cookies: These are indispensable for the proper functioning of the Site. They ensure basic functions like page navigation and management of basic privacy settings. Your consent is not required for these cookies.
- Functional Cookies: These improve the Browse experience by remembering your choices (such as the selected language) to provide personalised features.
- Analytical (or Statistical) Cookies: These are used to collect information in an aggregated and anonymous form about how Visitors interact with the Site (e.g., which pages are most visited, number of visitors). This data helps the Controller to optimise the Site’s content and performance. They can only be installed with your consent.
- Marketing and Profiling Cookies: These are used to track your activity on the Site and other websites. The purpose is twofold: to enable the operation of affiliate marketing programmes (by tracking clicks to attribute commissions) and to display any advertisements relevant to your interests. These cookies always require your prior and explicit consent.
4. Details of cookies used
Thanks to the integration with the CookieYes plugin, a detailed and constantly updated table of all specific cookies used by this Site is shown below. The table, automatically generated, lists the provider, purpose, and duration for each cookie.
5. Consent Management
Upon your first visit to the Site, an information banner is displayed that allows you to manage your consent. The banner includes:
- A button to accept all cookies.
- A button to reject all non-essential cookies.
- A button to customise your choices granularly for each cookie category.
Furthermore, the Site is configured to recognise and respect browser-based opt-out signals, such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC). If such a signal is detected, only strictly necessary cookies will be activated automatically.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time via the widget or the persistent link in the Site’s footer. Rejecting non-essential cookies does not prevent you from Browse the Site.
6. Affiliate Marketing and Third-Party Cookies
The Controller explicitly states that this Site participates in affiliate programmes to support itself financially. This means that some articles contain links to third-party products or services (e.g., Amazon, Substack, travel partners).
When you click on one of these links, the affiliate partner may place a tracking cookie on your device. This cookie’s sole purpose is to recognise that the visit originates from this Site and to attribute a commission to the Controller in the event of a qualifying purchase, at no additional cost to you. These cookies fall into the “Marketing” category and are only installed with your consent.
The Site may feature embedded content or social network sharing buttons (e.g., X, Facebook, Instagram, etc.). These services may, in turn, place third-party cookies on your device. Such cookies, which fall into the “Marketing” category, are used to track interaction with the content and for personalised advertising purposes on the respective social networks. They are installed only with your explicit consent. You are invited to consult the respective privacy and cookie policies of these platforms for more information.
7. Data Transfer Outside the European Union
The use of services provided by third parties (such as Google for statistics, Substack for the newsletter, or Amazon for affiliation) may involve the transfer of some personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA), particularly to the United States.
This transfer is legitimised by specific legal safeguards, such as Adequacy Decisions of the European Commission (for example, the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework), which ensure that the data receives an adequate level of protection comparable to that in Europe.
The Controller adopts appropriate security measures, such as the SSL/TLS protocol for encrypting data exchanged between the browser and the server, to protect the information collected. For the services mentioned, the main providers whose technologies are used by the Site are Google, Substack, and Amazon. You are encouraged to consult their respective privacy notices to understand how they process data.
8. Managing cookies via browser settings
In addition to the consent management tool, you can manage, disable, or delete cookies directly from your browser settings (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari). Please consult your browser’s guide for specific instructions. However, completely disabling cookies may compromise the proper functioning of some parts of the Site.
9. Data Subject Rights
You have the right, at any time, to exercise your rights regarding personal data protection. These include the right of access, rectification, erasure (right to be forgotten), restriction of processing, data portability, and the right to object to processing. For cookies, the primary right is exercised by withdrawing consent, as described in section 5.
For any other request concerning your personal data, you can contact the Controller at the contact details provided below. The Controller will respond to such requests without undue delay and, in any case, within one month of receiving the request, as required by law.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. Given the Controller’s location, the relevant authority is the Bayerisches Landesamt für Datenschutzaufsicht (BayLDA). Users residing in other EU countries may, however, contact the supervisory authority in their own member state.
