This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we use, the information we collect using cookies, how that information is used, and how to manage your cookie settings. This Cookie Policy was drafted to inform you of your rights under certain laws as applicable.

This Cookie Policy applies to our website, urban1.com (“Website”). Except as otherwise stated in this Cookie Policy, our Privacy Policy will apply to our processing of the data we collect via cookies.

What Are Cookies and How Do We Use Them?

Cookies are small text files that are sent to and stored by your browser when you visit or interact with our website and online services. These cookies are then sent back unchanged to the party that served the cookie each time you visit or interact with our website and online services (which includes our ads on third-party sites) for the party that served the cookie to recognize your browser or device. Cookies are either first-party cookies or third-party cookies. “First-party cookies” are sent to your browser by the party that operates the site you are visiting (e.g., cookies served by Urban One when you visit our website). “Third-party cookies” are sent to your browser by any party other than the party that operates the site you are visiting (e.g., cookies sent by our online partners, such as Google Analytics, when you visit our website).

When we use cookies, we may use “session” cookies (that last until you close your browser) or “persistent” cookies (that last until you or your browser deletes them). Some of the cookies we use on our website and online services may be associated with your Personal Information (such as your email address), and other cookies are not. However, if we associate non-Personal Information (such as cookie data) with Personal Information, the combined information will be treated as Personal Information for as long as it remains combined.

You may refuse to accept browser cookies by activating the appropriate setting on your browser. Some web browsers, such as Firefox or Safari, automatically block the collection of third-party cookies; other browsers, such as Chrome, require you to make a change in your user settings. If you refuse certain cookies, you may not be able to access certain parts of our Website. Unless you have adjusted your browser settings so that it will refuse cookies, our system will automatically deploy cookies when you direct your browser to our Website.

Types of Cookies We Use

We use different types of cookies for different purposes. This section of the Cookie Policy explains what those types of cookies are and why we use them.

Necessary

Our website may utilize first- and third-party cookies and similar technologies that are necessary to operate our business and maintain our website and online services, including verifying and authenticating website users; preventing fraud and securing our website and online services and databases; enabling users to move around our website and online services and use their features; and complying with applicable laws and industry standards. These cookies and similar technologies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing or tracking your browsing activity. This category of cookies generally cannot be disabled.

Analytics

Our website may utilize first- and third-party cookies and similar technologies for analytics and market research purposes, including analyzing how users arrive at and engage with our website and online services; tracking and measuring the performance and effectiveness of our website and online services; optimizing the location of ads, website features, and other content on our website and online services; statistical reporting in connection with website activity; analyzing user preferences and behaviors and market characteristics and trends in order to develop and improve our services, websites, and ads; segmenting audiences to test features of our website and online services; and conducting research about our consumers, and online services.

Performance

Our website may utilize first- and third-party cookies and similar technologies to provide enhanced features and remember user preferences, including identifying return users when visiting our website; keeping track of user preferences, interests, and past items viewed or utilized.

Marketing

Our website may utilize first- and third-party cookies and similar technologies to deliver, track, and measure ads both on and off our website and online services, including ads relevant to your interests (e.g., ads based on your past interaction with our website or based on predictions about your interests derived from your browsing activities on different websites over time); and ads based on your location, demographics, or device characteristics. Cookies are also used for tracking and measuring the reach and frequency of ads and regulating the delivery of such ads (e.g., capping the number of times you see a particular ad).

Use of Cookies By Our Partners

We may use vendors and other online partners to perform some of the Necessary, Performance, Analytics, and Advertising activities described above, including to provide audience measurement and analytics services, to serve ads on our behalf on our website and online services and on third-party sites, and to track and report on the performance of such ads. These online partners may use third-party cookies and similar technologies to collect and store certain log data, cookie data, and other information when you visit or interact with our website and online services and other unaffiliated sites in order to identify your browser or device and provide their respective services. Further, these online partners may combine data collected on our website and online services with information collected on unaffiliated sites or with any other data maintained by these online partners. Their use of data collected on our website, online services, and third-party sites will be subject to their own terms of use and privacy policies.

For example, we may use third-party cookies to deliver our ads on third-party websites through a common form of online advertising known as “retargeting.” Retargeting works by serving ads on one website based on an individual’s activities on a different website (e.g., if you view a service on our website, you may later see ads for our services when you visit a third-party website). To do this, we allow our online partners (such as Google or other ad network vendors) to serve their own third-party cookies when users visit our website and online services, allowing these online partners to recognize users who have previously visited our website and online services. When these users visit a third-party website that includes features provided by our online partners (e.g., where our online partners have purchased ad space), our online partners can recognize the users’ interest in our services and deliver one of our ads on the third-party website.

Some, but not all, of the vendors we may work with participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance’s digital advertising opt-outs. You can opt out of these vendors directly at: optout.aboutads.info or Network Advertising Initiative (NAI)’s self-regulatory opt-out or, if located in the European Union, visit www.youronlinechoices.eu.

Manage Your Cookie Preferences

When you visited our website for the first time, you were presented with a notification banner allowing you to choose which types of cookies you wanted to accept. This choice will persist in your browser until you clear your cookies or until these cookies expire. Most browser cookies expire after 400 days, or about 13 months. Please note that any choices you make for your cookies only apply to the device and browser you are using. For example, if you visit our website with Safari on a desktop computer and opt out of third-party cookies, that choice will not be remembered if you visit our website in Google Chrome on a mobile device. Additionally, if you clear your browser’s cookies, your choices will not be remembered, and if you visit our website after clearing your cookies, we will ask you for your cookie preferences again.

To clear strictly necessary cookies or cookies that you opted into previously, you can clear all cookies from this site using your browser. Below are links to the support documents on how to manage and delete cookies from some major web browsers:
