Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit upizee.com, a cookie consent banner appears at the top of the page. You can accept all categories, accept only strictly necessary cookies, or customise your preferences by category. Your choice is stored in the upi_consent cookie.
You can change your preferences at any time by clearing the upi_consent cookie from your browser settings, which will cause the consent banner to reappear on your next visit.
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies. Note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of some websites. The following links provide browser-specific guidance:
Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
Mozilla Firefox: Options > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions
Third-Party Services
Where third-party cookies are used (such as Google Analytics or Google Ads), those third parties have their own privacy policies that govern how they handle data. We encourage you to review Google's privacy policy at policies.google.com. Upizee does not control third-party cookie behaviour beyond the consent controls we implement on this site.
Legal Basis for Cookie Use
Strictly necessary cookies are deployed on the basis of legitimate interest — they are essential for the site to function and their use does not require consent under Egyptian Law No. 151 of 2020. All other cookie categories are deployed only on the basis of your explicit consent, provided through the cookie consent mechanism on this site.
Updates to This Policy
This Cookie Policy may be updated to reflect changes in the cookies we use or changes in applicable law. The date shown at the top of this page indicates the most recent revision. We recommend reviewing this page periodically.
