When you visit Uptitek Website, the pages you see—along with a cookie—are downloaded to your device or web browser. Many websites work this way because website publishers are able to use cookies to for instance find out whether the device—and probably its user—has visited the website before, and other things. This is done on a repeat visit by checking to see, and finding, the cookie left there on the last visit.

These cookies allow the user to use all the different parts of EMB.com without which the services that a user has requested cannot be provided. Examples of how strictly necessary cookies are used include:
These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. A session cookie assigns a randomly generated, unique identification number to your device when you access the Website. Assigning your device a number facilitates the proper functioning of the features of our Website by permitting us to maintain a persistent ‘state’ for your session, including information relating to orders that you may place. We also use session cookies to collect anonymous information (i.e., information that does not identify you personally) about the ways users use the Website, such as pages they visit, links they use, and how long they stay on each page. We analyse this ‘click-stream information’ to better understand our user’s interests and needs and to improve the content and functionality of the Website.

They also remember your choice of searches and favorites and help fulfill requests by you such as commenting on a blog
Examples of how strictly necessary cookies are used:
Unlike a session cookie, persistent cookies do not expire when you close your browser. It stays on your device until the expiration date set in the cookie (for example, at the end of a calendar month) or until you delete it. Persistent cookies can be used to ‘tag’ your device so that the next time you visit (or someone using your device visits), our server will recognize you, not by name, but by the ‘tag’ on your device. This will enable us to provide you with a personalised experience even if we do not know who you are. It will also allow us to collect more accurate information about the ways people use the Website, for example, how people use the Website on their first visit and how often they return. Using persistent cookies permits us to provide you with a more personalized experience and, in some cases, may save you the trouble of re-entering information already in our database.
These cookies may be placed on your device by us or our trusted third-party service providers. Targeting or advertising cookies remember that you have visited a website and use that information to provide you with advertising which is tailored to your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers. Although this type of cookies can track your activity around the Internet, they cannot identify you personally. Without these cookies, online advertising you encounter will be less relevant to you and your interests.
