Uvio Cookie Notice

1. General Provisions

1.1. This Uvio Cookie Notice applies to the Uvio website available at https://uvio.chat, including its public pages, sign-in pages, legal pages, company and event pages, as well as the Uvio company dashboard and related web interfaces.

1.2. This Notice is intended to provide transparency under applicable data protection and e-privacy rules, including the GDPR where it applies. It supplements the Uvio Visitor Data Policy and, depending on the scenario, the applicable Uvio consumer or business documents.

1.3. This Notice governs the use of cookies and similar technologies in Uvio web interfaces. If a particular category of technology requires separate consent under applicable law, that consent is requested separately.

2. What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are

2.1. Cookies are small pieces of data stored in a visitor's or user's browser so that a site or web interface can function correctly, keep a session active, remember settings, and help protect the service against abuse.

2.2. In addition to cookies, Uvio may use other browser-side storage technologies, including local storage and session storage, where this is necessary for a requested feature, interface settings, temporary drafts, or the state of a particular user flow.

2.3. If those identifiers or the related data can directly or indirectly be linked to a particular person, device, or web session, Uvio processes them under the applicable Uvio privacy documents and the law that applies to that scenario.

3. Why Uvio Uses Cookies and Similar Technologies

3.1. Uvio uses cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

• enabling one-time-code sign-in and maintaining an authenticated web session;
• refreshing access state and preserving a selected remember-device option where that feature is offered;
• protecting interfaces against request forgery, abuse, unauthorized access, and other information security incidents;
• saving language preferences and other interface settings;
• preserving temporary state for specific user flows, including drafts or auxiliary interface markers during the current browser session;
• ensuring proper operation of Uvio public pages and the company dashboard.

4. Technical Cookie Categories Used on the Uvio Website

4.1. As of the version date of this Notice, the Uvio website uses primarily strictly necessary and functional cookies in the following categories:

• authentication and authorized-session cookies needed to sign in and access protected sections of the website;
• session-extension or session-maintenance cookies, including remember-device scenarios where that feature is available;
• interface-state cookies needed to display authorized-user data correctly and preserve continuity of the current user flow.

4.2. The exact technical identifiers, internal names, storage format, and retention periods of those cookies may change as the service, security requirements, and web architecture evolve, without changing their underlying purpose.

4.3. These cookies are technically necessary for sign-in, profile access, and other protected sections of the Uvio website. Disabling them may make those features unavailable.

5. Technical Cookie Categories Used in the Company Dashboard

5.1. As of the version date of this Notice, the company dashboard uses primarily strictly necessary and functional cookies in the following categories:

• identity and active-session cookies for company representatives;
• interface-preference cookies, such as language and similar dashboard settings;
• security cookies used to reduce the risk of forged requests, unauthorized actions, and other security threats.

5.2. The exact technical identifiers, storage format, retention periods, and implementation method of those cookies may change as the service, security requirements, and web architecture evolve, without changing their core purpose.

5.3. These cookies are used for sign-in, maintaining an active dashboard session, protecting actions in the dashboard, and rendering the interface correctly. Blocking them may cause the dashboard to malfunction or prevent some actions from being completed.

6. Additional Browser Storage Technologies

6.1. In addition to cookies, Uvio may use local storage, session storage, or similar client-side mechanisms for the following purposes:

• storing interface settings and display preferences;
• preserving temporary state for particular user flows;
• storing short-lived service markers needed for correct operation of particular pages or actions;
• keeping temporary user-side data needed for convenience, including drafts where that feature is available.

6.2. Uvio may change the specific client-side storage mechanism used for those purposes, including moving between cookies, local storage, session storage, or similar technical means, as long as that does not change the substance of the relevant purpose or trigger a separate consent requirement under applicable law.

6.3. Those technologies are not always sent with every HTTP request in the same way as cookies, but they may still be necessary for proper and convenient operation of particular interface functions.

7. Analytics and Advertising Technologies

7.1. As of the version date of this Notice, Uvio does not use advertising or marketing cookies on its public web pages by default for cross-site profiling of visitors.

7.2. If Uvio later introduces optional analytics, advertising, or similar technologies that require separate notice or consent under applicable law, Uvio will update this Notice and implement an appropriate web consent mechanism before those technologies are used to the extent required by law.

8. Legal Basis for Use

8.1. Strictly necessary and functional cookies, as well as similar technologies needed for operation of the website, company dashboard, sign-in, session continuity, security, and execution of a user-initiated flow, are used on the basis of providing the requested service, carrying out the relevant user flow, complying with legal obligations, and Uvio's legitimate interests in service security and stability where those interests are not overridden by the individual's rights and freedoms.

8.2. If a specific category of cookies or similar technologies requires separate consent under applicable law, that consent must be obtained separately from acceptance of terms, privacy policies, or other legal documents.

9. How You Can Control Cookies and Similar Technologies

9.1. A visitor or user may manage cookies through browser settings, including deleting previously stored cookies, limiting their storage, or blocking particular categories of cookies.

9.2. A user may also end an authenticated session by signing out, clear local or session browser storage, or use browser modes that limit retention of stored data.

9.3. If a user blocks strictly necessary cookies or removes critical service-related browser data, some Uvio website or company dashboard features may not work correctly, and sign-in or session continuity may become unavailable.

10. Retention Periods

10.1. Cookies and similar storage technologies remain in use for the period needed to achieve the relevant purpose, until the configured expiration date, sign-out, replacement with a new value, deletion by the user, or browser cleanup.

10.2. For strictly necessary cookies, retention is usually limited to minutes, hours, or days depending on the function. Some interface preferences or local drafts may remain until they are deleted, changed, or automatically cleared by the relevant interface logic.

11. Related Documents and Updates

11.1. This Notice applies together with the Uvio Visitor Data Policy and, depending on the scenario, the applicable Uvio consumer or business documents.

11.2. Uvio may update this Notice when the web technologies used, the set of web interfaces, applicable legal requirements, or the data processing model changes. The current version is published in Uvio's legal documents section together with its version date.
