Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Ultimate Cineverse uses cookies and similar technologies on this Site. It should be read with our Privacy Policy.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, and scripts that store or read identifiers. We use them to run the Site, remember your consent choices, measure traffic (if allowed), and show ads on blog pages (if allowed).

2. How we ask for consent

When you first visit, a cookie banner lets you Accept all, Reject non-essential, or Customize. You can reopen preferences anytime via Manage cookies in the footer. We set Google Consent Mode v2 defaults to denied until you allow analytics and/or advertising.

3. Categories we use

Necessary

• Consent storage (`cookieConsent` and related keys in local storage) — remembers your cookie choices.
• Security and basic delivery cookies set by our hosting provider as needed.

These are required for the Site to function as you expect and are always active.

Analytics (optional)

• Google Analytics 4 — helps us understand visits, popular pages, and technical performance. Loads only when analytics consent is granted.

Advertising (optional, blog only)

• Google AdSense — serves ads on /blog routes only. May use cookies for frequency capping and, if you allow personalized ads, relevance. Script and ad units initialize only when advertising consent is granted.

4. Duration

Consent preferences persist until you change them or clear site data. Google analytics and advertising cookies follow Google’s documented lifetimes (session to multi-month depending on cookie type).

5. Managing cookies

• Use Manage cookies in the site footer.
• Browser settings can block or delete cookies (may affect Site features).
• Google ad settings: adssettings.google.com.
• Industry opt-outs (where available): aboutads.info.
