Cookie Policy.

Last updated: December 20, 2021

This Cookie Policy explains what Cookies and similar technologies are and how we, MNTN, located at 11111 Jefferson Blvd. #5286, Culver City, CA 90230, (“we”, “us”, “our”) and certain third parties use them on our Website (the “Website”). You should read this Cookie Policy so you can understand what type of cookies and similar technologies we use, or the information we collect using them and how that information is used.

Cookies and similar technologies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies you, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from them. For further information on how we use, store, and keep your personal data secure, see our Privacy Policy.

If you do not accept the use of Cookies and similar technologies, please disable them by following the instructions in this policy below or by changing your browser settings so that they cannot be placed on your computer or device when you browse our Website.

We may change this policy from time to time. If we make any material changes to the way we handle your personal data as part of our use of cookies and similar technologies, we will let you know by posting an updated version of this policy on our Website.

What are Cookies and similar technologies?

When you visit or access our Website, we use (and authorize third parties to use) cookies, pixel tags, web beacons, HTML5 local storage, and mobile device IDs (the “Tracking Technologies”).

  • Cookies. Cookies are small text files, stored on your browser, that uniquely identify your browser or device. Cookies improve your user experience by, for example, enabling our Website to recognize you when you re-visit, remember your preferences, and provide you with the ability to use customized features. Cookies are also used to make websites work in an efficient way and to ensure adverts you see online are relevant to you and your interests. You can find more information about Cookies at www.allaboutcookies.org.
  • Pixels. Pixels are small portions of code we place on your device. We use pixels to learn whether you have clicked on certain web content. This helps us measure and improve our Website and services and personalize your experience.
  • Web beacons. Web beacons are invisible picture files that we use as part of our Website and services. We use web beacons to see how you interact with our Website and services and to understand how often you view certain content so that we can make our Website more efficient and easier to use. Our Services may also carry web beacons placed by third-party advertisers.
  • Mobile device IDs. Mobile device IDs are a unique identifier which can be used to identify a mobile device. We use these to run analytics and ensure our Website and services are useful to you. Our advertising partners use these to show you ads that are useful to you and also to make sure they don’t show the same ad to you twice.
  • Local storage. We also use local storage to store data on your device such as the last time you visited our Website, or to welcome you to our Website.
  • HTML5 local storage. We occasionally store information locally on your device using HTML5. This allows information to be stored in your browser after the browser has been closed and reopened. We only use HTML5 to store non-sensitive information, such as the previous page you viewed, the name of the current page you are viewing, and some of your preferences. We use HTML5 local storage to collect personal data from you. You can choose whether the data in HTML5 local storage should be kept beyond your current browser session or deleted. Depending on your browser, you can remove local storage, including HTML5, when clearing your cache and cookies.

In addition to the cookies we use on this website, we also use Tracking Technologies in some emails and push notifications which enable us to understand whether you have opened the email and how you have interacted with it. If you have enabled images, Cookies will be set on your device and will also be set if you click on any link within the email.

Tracking Technologies can remain on your device for different periods of time. Some Tracking Technologies exist only while your browser is open. These are deleted automatically once you close your browser. Other Tracking Technologies are “permanent”, meaning that they survive after your browser is closed. They can be used by us to recognize your device when you open your browser and browse the internet again.

Types of Cookies and Tracking Technologies We Use

We use first-party and third-party Tracking Technologies. First-party Tracking Technologies are set directly by us whereas third-party Tracking Technologies are set by a third party (such as analytics providers, our advertisers, and business partners).

We use both session and persistent Tracking Technologies that perform the following functions:

  • Essential Tracking Technologies, which are essential to the functioning of our Services, to provide a service requested by you or to comply with the law (e.g., the security requirements of data protection law). We do not need to obtain your consent in order to use these Tracking Technologies, and these Tracking Technologies cannot be turned off as we cannot provide the Services without them. We only use these Cookies to provide you with those services.
  • Functionality Tracking Technologies, which allow us to remember choices you make when you use the Website, such as remembering your language preference. The purpose of these Cookies is to provide you with a more personal experience and to avoid you having to re-enter your preferences every time you use the Website.
  • Performance Tracking Technologies, which enable us to collect information about your online activity (e.g., the duration of your use of the Website), including behavioral data and content engagement. They are used to track information about traffic to the Website and how users use the Website. The information gathered via these Cookies may directly or indirectly identify you as an individual visitor. This is because the information collected is typically linked to a pseudonymous identifier associated with the device you use to access the Website. We may also use these Cookies to test pages, features, or new functionality on the Website.
  • Advertising/Targeting Tracking Technologies, which we use to deliver a more personalized service, enable us to execute advertising campaigns, and show you ads that are relevant to you as well as measuring the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by our advertisers (e.g., advertising networks) and provide them insights about the people who see and interact with their ads, visit their websites, or use their app. A guide to behavioral advertising and online privacy has been produced by the internet advertising industry, which can be found at: http://www.youronlinechoices.eu
  • Social Media Tracking Technologies, which are used through our Website’s social media features. These features are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our Website (in which case you can manage them as explained below) and enable us or the social network to obtain information about how you interact with our Website or the social network. In addition, where we have a presence on social media platforms, those platforms will set Tracking Technologies on your device when you visit our pages on their platforms so that we can obtain statistical information about how you interact with our social media presence. The cookie policy of the social media platform should explain how you can manage the Tracking Technologies that they set, and you may also be able to manage these Tracking Technologies through using your browser settings, as explained below.

The table below sets out the types of Tracking Technologies we and our partners use in connection with our Website, and the purposes for which we use them.

Hotjar_hjClosedSurveyInvitesHotjar cookie that is set once a user interacts with an External Link Survey invitation modal. It is used to ensure that the same invite does not reappear if it has already been shown.365 daysPlease see the instructions set out in “Your Choices Regarding Cookies” below.
 _hjDonePollHotjar cookie that is set once a user completes a survey using the On-site Survey widget. It is used to ensure that the same survey does not reappear if it has already been filled in.365 days
 _hjMinimizedPollsHotjar cookie that is set once a user minimizes an On-site Survey widget. It is used to ensure that the widget stays minimized when the user navigates through your site.365 days 
 _hjShownFeedbackMessageHotjar cookie that is set when a user minimizes or completes Incoming Feedback. This is done so that the Incoming Feedback will load as minimized immediately if the user navigates to another page where it is set to show.365 days 
 _hjShownFeedbackMessageHotjar cookie that is set when a user minimizes or completes Incoming Feedback. This is done so that the Incoming Feedback will load as minimized immediately if the user navigates to another page where it is set to show.365 days 
 _hjSessionTooLargeCauses Hotjar to stop collecting data if a session becomes too large. This is determined automatically by a signal from the WebSocket server if the session size exceeds the limit.Session 
 _hjSessionRejectedIf present, this cookie will be set to “1” for the duration of a user’s session, if Hotjar rejected the session from connecting to our WebSocket due to server overload. This cookie is only applied in extremely rare situations to prevent severe performance issues.Session 
 _hjSessionResumedA cookie that is set when a session/recording is reconnected to Hotjar servers after a break in connection.Session 
 _hjidHotjar cookie that is set when the customer first lands on a page with the Hotjar script. It is used to persist the Hotjar User ID, unique to that site on the browser. This ensures that behavior in subsequent visits to the same site will be attributed to the same user ID.365 days 
 _hjRecordingLastActivityThis should be found in Session storage (as opposed to cookies). This gets updated when a user recording starts and when data is sent through the WebSocket (the user performs an action that Hotjar records).Session 
 _hjTLDTestWhen the Hotjar script executes we try to determine the most generic cookie path we should use, instead of the page hostname. This is done so that cookies can be shared across subdomains (where applicable). To determine this, we try to store the _hjTLDTest cookie for different URL substring alternatives until it fails. After this check, the cookie is removed.Session 
 _hjUserAttributesHashUser Attributes sent through the Hotjar Identify API are cached for the duration of the session in order to know when an attribute has changed and needs to be updated.Session 
 _hjCachedUserAttributesThis cookie stores User Attributes which are sent through the Hotjar Identify API, whenever the user is not in the sample. Collected attributes will only be saved to Hotjar servers if the user interacts with a Hotjar Feedback tool, but the cookie will be used regardless of whether a Feedback tool is present.Session 
 _hjLocalStorageTestThis cookie is used to check if the Hotjar Tracking Script can use local storage. If it can, a value of 1 is set in this cookie. The data stored in_hjLocalStorageTest has no expiration time, but it is deleted almost immediately after it is created.Under 100ms 
 _hjIncludedInPageviewSampleThis cookie is set to let Hotjar know whether that user is included in the data sampling defined by your site’s pageview limit.30 minutes 
 _hjIncludedInSessionSampleThis cookie is set to let Hotjar know whether that user is included in the data sampling defined by your site’s daily session limit.30 minutes

In addition to the Cookies we use on our Website, we also use pixel tags. For example, some emails and push notifications enable us to understand whether you have opened the email and how you have interacted with it. If you have enabled images, cookies will also be set on your computer or mobile device and will also be set if you click on any link within the email.

This information regarding your interaction is collected in an anonymous format using what is called a pixel tag, which is industry-standard technology. None of your personal data will be collected or used during this process. We simply discover the preferences and choices of our customers, so that we can make decisions about where and how to let people know about us. While the pixel tags we use may change from time to time as we improve and update our services, they generally fall into the below categories of use:

Pixel tags
