We may use first–party and third–party Cookies for several reasons. Some Cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" Cookies. Other Cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users and to enhance the experience on our Website. Third parties also serve cookies through our Website for advertising, analytics and other purposes. The specific types of first and third party Cookies served through our Website and the purposes they perform are described in more detail below.

These cookies are created by UMA Academy. They are, for the most part, used to allow you to browse our Website and use its features. First–party cookies include:

• Essential Website Cookies. These Cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas.
• Functional Cookies. These Cookies allow you to browse our Website or benefit from some of its features, such as memorizing language preferences or placing orders online.
• Functional Cookies. These Cookies allow us to collect statistics (aggregated and anonymous) on the usage of the Website by you and other visitors. This information helps us improve the features offered on the Website.

In addition to our proprietary Cookies, some third—party and affiliated companies may place Cookies on your computer, access them and associate web beacons with them. These Cookies enable third-party features or functionalities to be provided on or through the Website. The parties that set these third—party Cookies can recognize your device both when it visits our Website and also when it visits certain other websites. Third–party cookies include:

• Functional Cookies. These Cookies are defined by third parties who support our Site and they allow you to use useful services and features, such as instant messaging support.

• Online Behavioral Advertising Cookies. These Cookies are defined by our advertising partners and collect data about your browsing habits, as well as your preferences for products and services. This information allows UMA Academy and the ad networks that we work with to display relevant ads on the most relevant pages of partner sites and the UMA Academy Website. For example, third parties or affiliates.

The duration of storage of Cookies on your device may vary, depending on the category to which they belong: temporary or permanent.

We use temporary Cookies on all of our secure pages to assign and register a session ID. This identifier is also used for internal reporting purposes. It does not allow us to identify you personally by name and this type of Cookie does not leave any information recoverable on your hard drive. Most of our proprietary Cookies fall into this category and expire when you close your internet browser.

Our first–party Cookies and third–party Cookies are permanent Cookies. They allow us to understand visitors' browsing behavior over a longer period of time or to provide you with additional features related to your Website customization requests and the content that you have saved or stored. They can stay on your computer for 24 hours, a week or several years, depending on their function. This means that these Cookies survive after your browser is closed and can be used by our Website to recognize your computer when you re–open your browser later.

We only place Cookies on your device after you give us permission. If you do not want to receive some of the categories of Cookies used on our Website, you can use the means described below to disable them. Note, however, that we will still need to set a Cookie on your device to remember your preferences when you visit our Website again from a single browser.

At the moment, it is technically impossible for you to synchronize your settings between your browsers and your devices (your computer or your smartphone). You must set them on each browser/device that you currently use and each time you use a new browser or device.

You can decide whether to accept or reject Cookies. You can exercise your Cookie preferences by managing Cookies from your web browser. As the means by which to activate or deactivate Cookies varies from one web browser to another, you should visit your web browser's help menu for more information on Cookie preferences. You can also configure your browser at any time to be notified of the receipt of a Cookie, so that you can decide whether you want to accept it or not. Cookies do not under any circumstances read the data from your hard drive and you can delete them from your computer at any time. You can also manage the use of Flash technologies, including flash cookies and local storage objects with the Flash management tools available at Adobe's website.
