1. Introduction

Minnie Downtown Media LLC (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website at https://ugcexecutive.com/ (the “Website”). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can control them.

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional detail about how we collect, use, and protect personal data. By continuing to use our Website after being presented with our cookie consent banner, you consent to our use of non-essential cookies as described in this Policy.

This Cookie Policy applies to all visitors to our Website, regardless of location. Additional rights for EU and UK residents are described in Section 6.

2. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies

2.1 Cookies

A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website operators to make their websites function efficiently, to improve user experience, and to collect analytical and advertising data.

Cookies are set by either the website you are visiting (“first-party cookies”) or by third-party services operating on that website (“third-party cookies”). Cookies can be either session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

2.2 Web Beacons and Pixels

In addition to cookies, our Website may use web beacons (also known as tracking pixels or clear GIFs). These are small, transparent image files embedded in web pages or emails that allow us or third-party services to track whether a page has been viewed or an email has been opened. Web beacons are often used in conjunction with cookies and function similarly for analytics and advertising purposes.

2.3 Local Storage and Similar Technologies

Our Website may also use browser local storage and similar client-side storage technologies to store small amounts of data on your device. These technologies function similarly to cookies but are stored differently. Where such technologies are used for non-essential purposes, they are subject to the same consent requirements as cookies under this Policy.

2.4 JavaScript Tags

Third-party advertising and analytics platforms (such as Meta and Google) may place JavaScript tags on our Website pages. These tags enable those platforms to collect data about your interactions with our Website for the purposes of ad targeting, conversion tracking, and audience building. This includes the Meta Pixel and Google Ads conversion tags.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

We use four categories of cookies on our Website, as described below. Strictly necessary cookies are always active. All other categories require your consent, which you provide through our cookie consent banner upon first visiting the Website.

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Website to function and cannot be disabled. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block these cookies, but some parts of the Website may not work as a result.

5. How to Manage and Control Cookies

5.1 Cookie Consent Banner

When you first visit our Website, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies by category (analytics, marketing, and functional). Your preferences will be saved and applied for future visits. You can change your cookie preferences at any time by accessing the cookie settings link in the footer of our Website.

5.2 Browser Settings

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or be notified when a cookie is set. Please note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of our Website and other websites you visit. Instructions for managing cookies in common browsers are available at the following links:

  • Google Chrome: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647
  • Mozilla Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enhanced-tracking-protection-firefox-desktop
  • Apple Safari: https://support.apple.com/guide/safari/manage-cookies-sfri11471/mac

5.3 Opt-Out Tools for Specific Services

In addition to browser-level controls, you can opt out of specific third-party data collection using the following tools:

  • Digital Advertising Alliance (US): Opt out at https://optout.aboutads.info/.

Please note that opting out of advertising cookies does not mean you will stop seeing advertisements. It means that the ads you see may be less relevant to your interests.

5.4 Do Not Track

Some browsers include a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. Our Website does not currently respond to DNT signals due to the absence of a uniform industry standard. You can manage tracking preferences through the cookie consent banner and the opt-out tools listed above.

6. EU, EEA, and UK Users

For users located in the European Union, European Economic Area, or United Kingdom, our use of cookies is governed by the EU ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC) as implemented in national law, and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU) 2016/679 (and its UK equivalent, the UK GDPR).

Under these frameworks:

  • Strictly necessary cookies may be placed without your consent, as they are required for the technical operation of the Website.
  • All other categories of cookies (analytics, marketing, functional) require your freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent before being placed on your device.
  • Consent must be as easy to withdraw as it is to give. You may withdraw your cookie consent at any time via the cookie preference settings on our Website without any detriment.
  • Consent is not implied by continued use of the Website alone. A positive, affirmative action is required to consent to non-essential cookies.

Our cookie consent mechanism is designed to meet the requirements of applicable EU and UK guidance, including guidance from the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) and national supervisory authorities. We do not use dark patterns or deceptive design to influence cookie consent choices.

If you have questions or concerns about our cookie practices from a GDPR perspective, you may contact us at hello@ugcexecutive.com or lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority.

7. Cookie Retention Periods

The retention period for each cookie varies depending on its type and purpose. Session cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for the duration specified in the cookie table in Section 3, or until you delete them manually using your browser settings.

We periodically review cookie retention periods and update them where necessary to ensure they are proportionate to the purpose for which the data is collected. Retention periods for third-party cookies are controlled by the respective third-party providers and are subject to their own policies.

8. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in applicable law, or updates to the third-party services we employ. The updated Cookie Policy will be posted on the Website with a revised Effective Date.

Where changes are material, we will notify you via a prominent notice on the Website or, where appropriate, by email. We will also reset the cookie consent banner so that returning users are made aware of any significant changes to our cookie practices and given the opportunity to review and re-confirm their preferences.

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
