This Cookie Policy explains the technical mechanisms by which cookies and similar technologies function on the urbanphase.digital website, what categories of cookies are deployed, what each category does, and how you as a visitor can exercise control over cookie placement on your device. This Policy is issued in accordance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and relevant guidelines of the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines.
A cookie is a small data file that a website places on your device when you visit. The file is stored in your web browser and can be read by the website on subsequent visits. Cookies were designed to allow websites to remember information about your visit, such as your preferences or session state.
Cookies are distinct from other tracking technologies such as web beacons or local storage, though these technologies may be used alongside cookies for similar purposes.
Session cookies exist only for the duration of your browser session. They are deleted automatically when you close your browser. They are used to maintain state during a single visit, such as keeping you logged in as you navigate between pages.
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period of time, or until you delete them manually. The expiry date is set by the website at the time the cookie is placed.
These cookies are required for the basic technical functioning of this website. They enable core features such as page navigation, form submission, and security features. Without these cookies, certain parts of the website would not function correctly. These cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes and cannot be disabled without impairing the functionality of the site.
Example: The cookie that stores your cookie consent preference (named upd_consent) is a strictly necessary cookie. It records whether you have accepted or declined cookies so that the consent bar does not appear on every page you visit.
Functional cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization on the website. They may be set by us or by third-party service providers whose services we use. If you decline these cookies, some or all of these features may not function properly.
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with this website by collecting and reporting information in aggregate form. This information helps us improve the structure, content, and performance of the website. Analytics cookies do not identify individual visitors by name.
Where third-party analytics tools are used (such as Google Analytics), the data collected may be processed outside the Philippines. In such cases, we ensure that appropriate data transfer safeguards are in place consistent with the requirements of the Data Privacy Act of 2012.
Preference cookies allow the website to remember choices you have made on previous visits, such as language settings or display preferences, so that your experience is more consistent across visits.
The following table describes the first-party cookie set directly by Urban Phase Digital on this website:
| Cookie Name | Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
upd_consent |
Strictly Necessary | 180 days | Stores your cookie consent preference (accepted or declined) so the consent notification does not repeat on every visit. |
This website may load resources from third-party services including font providers (Google Fonts), content delivery networks, and mapping services. These third parties may set their own cookies. Urban Phase Digital does not control third-party cookies and recommends reviewing the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party services whose content appears on this site.
You can manage cookie settings through the following methods:
Browser Settings: All major web browsers allow you to view, manage, delete, and block cookies through their settings menus. The specific steps vary by browser. Refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions. Note that blocking all cookies may impair the functionality of some websites.
Our Consent Tool: When you first visit this website, a consent notification appears at the top of the page. You may accept or decline non-essential cookies through this tool. Your preference is stored in the upd_consent cookie for a period of 180 days.
Opt-Out Tools: For third-party analytics cookies, you may use browser extensions or opt-out tools provided by the relevant third parties to prevent tracking.
Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have rights in relation to personal information collected through cookies, including the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your data. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for a full description of your rights and how to exercise them.
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically. The date shown at the top of this document indicates when it was last revised. If we make material changes to how we use cookies, we will update the consent notification accordingly.
