IV. Other Cookies and Tracking Technologies

UC City employs a variety of digital tracking and analytics tools, such as cookies and pixel tags, across public-facing websites, student-facing platforms, online learning systems, applications, and social media channels. Data collected from these tools helps us better understand user needs and enhance the overall user experience.  

(A) Information Collected by Cookies

Cookies used by UC City may collect the following information:  

• IP address, company name (if applicable), and approximate geographic location inferred from the IP address or DNS;  

• Technical details about your device, operating system, screen resolution, and browser;  

• Date, time, and duration of website visits;  

• How you arrived at UC City pages (e.g., via search engines, direct URLs, or social media posts);  

• Browsing activities, such as form submissions, searches, or hyperlink clicks;  

• Demographic information (where provided, available, or inferable);  

• Application downloads and in-app activities.  

(B) Purposes of Data Usage

We use this information for multiple purposes, including:  

• Authenticating users and maintaining session logins;  

• Managing transactions across multiple webpages;  

• Improving and streamlining website navigation;  

• Collecting anonymous usage statistics and analytics for website or system optimization;  

• Enhancing the user experience by tracking behavior on webpages, social media channels, advertisements, or within UC City applications;  

• Delivering targeted advertisements based on website traffic and page activity, and measuring the performance of advertising campaigns;  

• Creating custom audiences on Facebook based on website interactions.  

Data retention periods vary by analytics platform and cookie type.  

(C) Third-Party Pixels and Cookies

We may use pixels and cookies from third parties such as Google and Facebook. For example, the Facebook Audience Network allows UC City to deliver advertisements to individuals who have visited our webpages. For more information about how these third parties collect and use data, please visit the privacy policies of Google and Facebook.  

If you wish to block Facebook advertisements or disable pixels/cookies while browsing our websites or using our applications, please review the help documentation or privacy settings of your device, platform, and/or browser.  

Please note that disabling cookies may adversely affect your user experience, particularly when using UC City’s learning platforms, as certain features or services may become unavailable.  

(D) Data Matching with Cookies

UC City may use cookie data for data matching purposes. If you opt to receive communications from us (e.g., via registration forms), the personal information you provide (such as your email address) may be matched with previously unidentifiable aggregated cookie data to create contact records for personalized marketing.  

V. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or device when you visit a website. On UC City’s websites, cookies serve the following functions:  

• Remembering your login credentials, settings, or preferences;  

• Measuring how you use the website to inform improvements aligned with user needs;  

• Personalizing your online experience with UC City.  

Cookies are used for various reasons: some are technically necessary for website functionality, while others support analytics or advertising campaigns. Pixel tags, similar to cookies, track user activities. For Facebook pixels, you can manage related settings within your Facebook account.  

VI. Managing Cookies and Settings

You can delete and manage existing cookies on your device, as well as adjust browser settings to control the installation of new cookies. For more information, visit resources such as allaboutcookies.org or the websites of browser manufacturers (e.g., Google for Chrome, Apple for Safari, Mozilla for Firefox, and Microsoft for Internet Explorer and Edge).  

(A) First-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set by the website owner (i.e., UC City). On most UC City websites, first-party cookies are used to:  

• Remember login credentials, settings, or preferences;  

• Identify basic technical information about your browser and device;  

• Determine your location (e.g., domestic or international).  

On select UC City websites, additional first-party cookies support marketing and advertising activities, collecting data such as:  

• IP address and company name (inferred from IP address or DNS);  

• Demographic information (where provided, available, or inferable), such as age range, gender, interests, and language;  

• Pages browsed during recent visits;  

• Date, time, and duration of website visits;  

• Recent search engines and search queries;  

• Sources of traffic to UC City pages (e.g., search engines, email links, or social media posts);  

• Actions completed on the website (e.g., searches, form submissions, link clicks, or application downloads);  

• In-app activities (if you have downloaded UC City applications).  

In certain cases, first-party cookies may be used for data matching. For example, if you submit contact information via an online form (e.g., to subscribe to a newsletter), we may match the information provided (e.g., name and email address) with previously unidentifiable aggregated cookie data to create contact profiles for personalized marketing. You can manage this through browser settings, controlling the information you provide in forms or consents, and using opt-out functions in email communications.  

(B) Third-Party Cookies

Third-party cookies are set by external websites (not UC City) but may be used by UC City and these third parties. Many UC City websites include third-party cookies to support functions such as:  

• Analytics and measurement;  

• Online learning or lectures;  

• Advertising and marketing;  

• Video content, social media integrations, maps, and other third-party features.  

Third-party cookies may collect the same types of information as first-party cookies.  

Some companies offer an optional "first-party mode" for their cookies. In short, this mode allows website owners to convert third-party cookies into first-party cookies, which will not be blocked if your browser settings restrict third-party cookies. You can manage browser settings to block first-party cookies and allow exceptions on a case-by-case basis.  

UC City uses "first-party mode" for Facebook pixels in certain scenarios, which is only activated if you navigate to UC City from Facebook. If you arrive from other third-party websites, this mode will not be enabled. As noted earlier, you can manage Facebook settings within your Facebook account.  

VII. Contact the Privacy Coordinator

Additional details and contact information are available on the Privacy Office’s official webpage.

This information is collected for the following purposes:
