1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device by a website when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for a very limited number of purposes. Our goal is to improve your experience and understand how our Site is being used. We do not use cookies for targeted advertising.

The cookies on our Site fall into the following categories:

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for you to move around the Site and use its features. For example, our web host (Hostinger) may use session cookies to ensure the Site's security and stability. These cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser.

3. Cookies We Use

Here is a more detailed look at the primary cookies in use on our Site:

  • Analytical (Google Analytics): We use Google Analytics (specifically, GA4) to understand how visitors engage with our Site. It helps us see which pages are most popular, how long visitors stay, and how they found us. This data is aggregated and anonymous, helping us make improvements. The cookies, such as _ga and _ga_*, are first-party cookies, meaning they are set by our domain.
  • Google Search Console: This is a tool for us, the website owners, to monitor our Site's performance in Google Search results. It does not place any cookies on your device as a visitor.
  • Hostinger: Our Site is hosted by Hostinger. Hostinger's web server may set strictly necessary session cookies to maintain your connection and ensure site security, but these do not track you personally.
  • Meta Pixel: At Ultimate Screenwriter Course, we use the Meta Pixel (formerly Facebook Pixel) on our Website. This tracking technology is provided by Meta Platforms, Inc. (and Meta Platforms Ireland Limited for users in the UK and European Economic Area). The Meta Pixel helps us understand how visitors interact with our Website, measure the effectiveness of our advertising, and deliver relevant display ads to you on Facebook, Instagram, and across the Meta Audience Network.
    What Information is Collected? When you visit our Website, the Meta Pixel automatically collects certain information about your device and your activity. This data is transmitted directly to Meta. The data collected includes:

    • Pixel-Specific Data: Includes the Pixel ID and the Facebook Cookie.
    • Button Click Data: Includes any buttons clicked by site visitors, the labels of those buttons, and any pages visited as a result of the button clicks.
    • Usage Data: Information about how you interact with our website (e.g., pages viewed, time spent on pages, items added to a cart, or forms submitted).
    How We Use This Information We use the data collected by the Meta Pixel for the following purposes:
    • Retargeting/Remarketing: To show you tailored advertisements for the Ultimate Screenwriter Course on Facebook, Instagram, and partner websites based on your previous interactions with our Website.
    • Conversion Tracking: To track whether an advertisement led to a specific action on our Website (e.g., purchasing a course or signing up for a newsletter) to measure the return on investment (ROI) of our display ads.
    • Custom Audiences: To create "Lookalike Audiences" of people who share similar interests and characteristics with our current website visitors.
    • Optimization: To deliver our ads to the people most likely to find them relevant and take action.
    How Meta Uses Your Information Data collected via the Meta Pixel is stored and processed by Meta Platforms. Meta may link this information to your personal Facebook or Instagram account and use it for its own advertising purposes in accordance with its own Data Policy.

Meta may also transfer your data to servers located outside your country of residence, including to the United States. They utilize Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and other legal safeguards to protect international data transfers.
