Utahn, LLC ("Utahn," "we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on Utahn.com. This policy explains what they are, what we use them for, and what choices you have.
What Cookies Are
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. Cookies allow a site to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and understand how you use the site over time. They do not contain viruses and cannot access other files on your device.
Similar technologies include web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage, which function in comparable ways. When we say "cookies" in this policy, we mean all of these technologies.
Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the site to function. They enable you to log in, maintain your session, access subscriber content, and complete purchases. Without them, core features of the site do not work.
These cookies cannot be disabled through our site. If you disable them through your browser, you will not be able to log in or access paid content.
Examples of what they do: keep you logged in as you navigate the site, remember your subscription status, and support secure payment processing at checkout.
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the site. They tell us which articles are read most, how long people spend on a page, where readers come from, and which newsletter links get clicked. We use this information in aggregate to improve our content, navigation, and editorial decisions.
We use Google Analytics and/or Plausible for this purpose. No data collected through analytics cookies is sold or shared with advertisers.
You can opt out of analytics cookies through our cookie preference settings or through your browser. Opting out does not affect your ability to read content or access your subscription.
Functional Cookies
These cookies remember choices you have made to improve your experience on the site, such as your preferred display settings or whether you have dismissed a notice. They are not essential but make the site more convenient to use.
Email Tracking Pixels
Our newsletters contain small image files that tell us whether an email was opened and which links were clicked. This helps us understand what our readers find useful so we can make the newsletter better.
If you prefer not to be tracked in this way, you can disable automatic image loading in your email client. This will prevent the tracking pixel from firing. Your ability to read the newsletter is not affected.
What We Do Not Do
We do not use cookies to serve targeted or behavioral advertising. We do not sell or share cookie data with advertisers or data brokers. We do not use cookies to build profiles of you for commercial purposes beyond operating and improving our own site.
Third-Party Cookies
Some third-party services we use may set their own cookies. These include:
Our payment processor, which sets cookies to support secure transactions. Our analytics provider, which sets cookies to measure site usage. Our email delivery provider, which may track engagement with newsletters.
These third parties operate under their own privacy and cookie policies. We do not control their cookies and encourage you to review their policies if you have concerns.
We do not permit third-party advertising networks to set cookies on Utahn.com.
