Cookie Policy

What cookies ubava.ee uses, why we use them, and how you can control them.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your session, preferences, and other information so you don't have to re-enter it each time you visit. Some cookies are essential for the site to function; others are used for analytics or advertising.

UBava uses cookies sparingly and only where necessary to deliver our service.

2. Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies (No consent required)

These cookies are strictly necessary for ubava.ee to function. They cannot be switched off.

Cookie Purpose Duration Provider
session_id Maintains your authenticated session so you stay logged in as you navigate the platform 7 days UBava
csrf_token Protects against cross-site request forgery attacks on form submissions Session UBava

Analytics Cookies (Consent required)

Currently: None. UBava does not use any third-party analytics services (no Google Analytics, no Plausible, no Matomo, nothing). We do not track you across sites or build advertising profiles.

If we introduce analytics cookies in the future, we will update this policy and obtain your explicit consent before setting them.

Third-Party Cookies

When you interact with our payment system, the following third-party cookies may be set:

Cookie Purpose Duration Provider

Stripe's cookies are set only when you interact with the payment flow (e.g., subscribing to a plan or updating billing details). See Stripe's Privacy Policy for full details.

3. How to Manage Cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

  • View which cookies are stored on your device
  • Delete all or specific cookies
  • Block cookies from specific sites or all sites
  • Block third-party cookies while allowing first-party cookies

  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
  • Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies

Note: Blocking essential cookies (session_id, csrf_token) will prevent you from logging in and using the UBava platform. The site will not function correctly without them.

4. Legal Basis

Our use of cookies is governed by the following legal frameworks:

  • Essential cookies — Legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our service and do not require consent under Art. 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive.

  • ePrivacy Directive — Art. 5(3) of Directive 2002/58/EC (as amended by Directive 2009/136/EC), transposed into Estonian law via the Estonian Electronic Communications Act (§ 102), governs the storage of information on user devices.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the bottom of this page. If we make material changes — such as introducing new cookie categories — we will notify you via a prominent notice on our website before the changes take effect.
