This Cookie Policy describes how newuptime uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on newuptime.com and the dashboard.newuptime.com platform. The data controller is newuptime, VAT no. IT03738170780, reachable at info@newuptime.com.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that websites send to your device (computer, tablet, smartphone), where they are stored and retransmitted to the same site on subsequent visits. Cookies allow the site to recognize your device and remember certain session information or preferences.
In addition to cookies, similar technologies serve analogous functions: pixel tags (or web beacons), local storage, and session storage. The term "cookie" in this policy is used broadly to encompass these technologies as well.
Cookies can be classified along two dimensions:
- First-party vs. third-party: first-party cookies are set by the site you are visiting; third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting.
- Session vs. persistent: session cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser; persistent cookies remain stored until they expire or are manually deleted.
2. Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the correct operation of the site and platform. Without them, certain core features could not be provided. These cookies do not collect information for advertising or profiling and do not require your consent.
Strictly necessary cookies used by newuptime include:
- Session and authentication cookies:store the authenticated user's session token on the platform, allowing navigation between pages without re-entering credentials. Duration: session (deleted when the browser is closed) or up to 30 days if the user chooses "remember me".
- Security cookies (CSRF token): protect requests sent to the platform from Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks. Duration: session.
- UI preference cookies: store user interface settings chosen by the user (e.g., dashboard theme, display preferences). Duration: up to 12 months.
- Consent cookies: record cookie preferences expressed by the user so the banner is not shown on every visit. Duration: 12 months.
3. Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies allow us to collect aggregated and anonymous information about how the site is used: number of visitors, most visited pages, traffic sources, and average time spent on the site. This information is used solely to improve site functionality and content. Because data is completely anonymous and aggregated, these cookies do not require prior consent; however, you can disable them at any time.
newuptime uses privacy-respecting analytics solutions that do not transmit data to third parties for advertising purposes.
4. Preference Cookies
Preference cookies allow the site to remember choices you made on previous visits, such as preferred language, dashboard settings, or other interface customizations. These cookies improve your experience but are not strictly necessary for the service to function.
5. Third-Party Cookies
newuptime minimizes the use of third-party cookies. The following third parties may set cookies during use of the platform or marketing site:
- Stripe / PayPal (payment providers): during checkout, payment providers may set cookies necessary for the secure completion of the transaction and for fraud prevention. These cookies are governed by the respective privacy policies of Stripe Inc. and PayPal Holdings, Inc.
newuptime does not use advertising or profiling cookies of any kind, nor does it share user data with advertising networks.
6. Managing Cookies
6.1 Via the cookie banner
On your first visit to the site, an information banner allows you to consent to non-necessary cookies and to access detailed category-level settings. Your preferences can be changed at any time via the "Manage cookies" link in the footer.
6.2 Via browser settings
Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can configure your browser to reject all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or receive a notification whenever a cookie is sent. Instructions for managing cookies in the main browsers:
- Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data.
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data.
- Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy.
- Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Cookies and site data.
Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may impair platform functionality and prevent access to protected areas.
6.3 Third-party opt-out
For any active third-party analytics cookies, you can opt out using the mechanisms provided by the respective vendors.
7. Cookie Security
Session and authentication cookies set by the newuptime platform carry the HttpOnly attribute (not accessible by JavaScript) and the Secure attribute (transmitted only over encrypted HTTPS connections). These technical measures protect cookies from XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) attacks and network interception.
8. Data Retention
Data collected through analytics cookies is retained in aggregated and anonymous form for no more than 14 months from collection. Technical session logs are retained for a maximum of 12 months. For the duration of individual cookies, refer to Section 2.
9. Updates to This Policy
This Cookie Policy may be updated at any time, particularly following regulatory changes or the introduction of new tracking technologies. The updated version is always available on this page with the revision date. For material changes to cookie usage that require fresh consent, the banner will be shown to you again.
