Cookie Notice
Uber's Cookie Notice update mostly adds transparency and new consumer controls — cookie duration disclosure, in-app privacy settings, opt-in consent for EU/UK/Swiss users, an email-tracking opt-out, and a new promise to seek fresh consent before making material future changes. But it also expands third-party data sharing: at least nine new advertising/data-broker partners were added, those partners may now combine your data with other information they hold about you, and Uber disclosed that some partners act as independent controllers who may move your data outside the EEA/UK. Essential cookies (which you can't turn off) are now also used for fraud detection, and social media plugins may link your visit to your social account.
New ad-tech and data-broker partners added
Uber added at least nine new outside advertising and data companies that can now receive your information for ad targeting, widening the pool of companies that have access to your data.
“Awin”
What you can do — Opt out of personalized ads and data sharing at privacy.uber.com/center, or (in the US) use the California opt-out link or your browser's Global Privacy Control setting.
DATA SHARING
Ad partners can combine your data with outside sources
Uber's ad partners are now allowed to merge the data Uber shares with other information they already have about you, which can create a more detailed profile of your habits.
“Our ad partners may combine this information with data they hold about you from other sources.”
What you can do — Opt out of personalized ads via privacy.uber.com/center, or use GPC/California opt-out if you're a US resident.
DATA SHARING
Some partners independently control your data and may send it abroad
Uber now says some tracking partners act on their own behalf (not just for Uber) and may move your device or user data outside the EEA and UK, where privacy protections may differ.
“Some of these third parties act as independent controllers of the data they collect, and some may transfer unique user or device data outside the EEA and the UK.”
What you can do — Review Uber's User Privacy Notice for details on the safeguards used for these international transfers.
DATA SHARING
Essential cookies now also used for fraud detection
Cookies you cannot disable are now also used to detect and prevent fraud and security threats, expanding what these mandatory cookies do beyond login and account features.
“detect and prevent fraud and security threats”
DATA COLLECTION
Social platforms may link your Uber site visit to your account
If you're logged into a social media account while browsing Uber's site and use a social plugin, that platform may connect your visit to your social media identity.
“the social media service may be able to link your visit to your account with them”
What you can do — Log out of social media accounts before browsing Uber's website, or block third-party cookies in your browser settings.

| 9 | 9 | We use the following Tracking Technologies for the purposes described in this Notice: |
| 10 | 10 | |
| 11 | "**Cookies**" are small text files that are placed and stored on your browser when you visit a website, or on your device when you use an app. They may be created and placed by either the website or app you are visiting (in which case they are referred to as "first party" cookies), or by websites or apps other than the one you are visiting (in which case they are referred to as "third party cookies"). We use both "session cookies," which expire when you close your browser, and "persistent cookies," which expire after a set period of time (even if you close your browser). | |
| 11 | "**Cookies**" are small text files that are placed and stored on your browser when you visit a website, or on your device when you use an app. They may be created and placed by either the website or app you are visiting (in which case they are referred to as "first party" cookies), or by websites or apps other than the one you are visiting (in which case they are referred to as "third party cookies"). We use both "session cookies," which expire when you close your browser, and "persistent cookies," which expire after a set period of time (even if you close your browser). Cookies placed on our Online Properties typically expire 12 months after they are set. Third-party cookies expire in accordance with the third party's own policies, which are linked in the table below. | |
+ ADDEDCookie expiration times disclosed Uber now tells you that its own cookies typically last 12 months, and that third-party cookies expire based on those companies' own rules. | ||
| 12 | 12 | |
| 13 | 13 | "**Pixel tags**" (also called beacons) are small blocks of code placed on webpages, apps, emails or ads that enable us to identify users when providing our Services and track interactions with our Online Properties. |
| 14 | 14 | |
| 15 | 15 | "**Software Development Kits**" (also called SDKs) are blocks of code that are functionally similar to cookies and pixel tags, except for mobile apps. SDKs allow their developers to collect information about the device and network you use to access our apps, and about your interaction with ours apps. |
| 16 | 16 | |
| 17 | 17 | "**Local storage**" refers to files that are created by apps or websites, and stored on your device or browser. Such files function similarly to cookies. |
| 18 | 18 | |
| 19 | 19 | ### **How we use Tracking Technologies** |
| 20 | 20 | |
| 21 | 21 | The following table describes the categories of Tracking Technologies (including cookies, pixel tags, SDKs, and local storage files) that are placed on the Online Properties, the purposes for which they are used, and whether placed by Uber or third parties. |

Please note that declining non-essential Tracking Technologies may limit the availability and functionality of our Services. Where consent is required, non-essential Tracking Technologies are not placed unless and until you accept them, and you can change or withdraw your choices at any time using the cookie preference link in the footer of our websites. If you are located in the EEA, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, we place non-essential Tracking Technologies only with your consent, which we ask for before they are placed. You may withdraw your consent at any time, and as easily as you gave it, using the controls described in the "Your choices" section below. Withdrawing consent does not affect Tracking Technologies already placed before you withdrew it. | |
+ ADDEDStronger opt-in consent for EU/UK/Swiss users Uber clarified that for users in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, non-essential tracking only turns on after you give consent, and you can withdraw that consent anytime, as easily as you gave it. | ||
