What is a cookie?

We automatically collect information stored by your browser or device. We may use a variety of methods to collect this information, such as cookies. A cookie is a series of data characters that, when programmed, is placed by the web server into a browser’s application folder on your computing device.

Third-party Use

We may also work with other companies who use tracking technologies and these companies may collect information about your interaction with us, including advertising. UDIM may periodically offer products or services directly through the Website, but use third-parties to fulfill services and enhance communications. If a link originates from a third party, the information is provided to the third party. Providing this information to the third party enables the interaction or transaction to take place. However, you should know that those third parties may, if you do not advise them to the contrary may share your name, address, and email with other third parties, including UDIM.

Third parties have separate privacy and data collection practices. We have no control over, and therefore no responsibility or liability, for these independent policies.

UDIM is not responsible or liable for the independent privacy policies of third-party sites. You should consult the privacy policies at those sites to determine how your information may be used.
