Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

Universal Appliances, Kitchens and Baths, Inc., a California corporation doing business as Universal Appliances, Kitchens and Baths (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”), uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website located at https://universal-akb.com/ (the “Site”). This Cookie Policy explains what these technologies are, how and why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. This Cookie Policy applies only to the Site identified above; our related websites are governed by the cookie policies posted on those websites. This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy for the Site, which describes our broader privacy practices and your privacy rights.

2. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a web server when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used to make websites function, improve efficiency, remember preferences, and provide information to site owners. Cookies set by the Site are “first-party cookies”; cookies set by other companies through the Site are “third-party cookies.” “Session cookies” expire when you close your browser; “persistent cookies” remain until they expire or are deleted. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your device.

In addition to traditional cookies, we and our partners may use similar technologies that are treated as cookies under many privacy laws, including:

• Scripts – small pieces of code executed on a website to collect information or enable interactive features;

• Tags and pixels – fragments of code embedded in web pages or emails to track activity such as page views, conversions, or email opens; and

• Web beacons – transparent images or code snippets used to monitor interactions with websites or emails.

These technologies may be used together with cookies to collect or store information about you, your device, and your use of the Site.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

4. Consent; How We Deploy Cookies

Essential cookies are deployed because they are strictly necessary for the Site to function. We deploy non-essential cookies (functional, analytics, advertising, social, and entertainment) only in accordance with the preferences you express through the cookie consent banner presented when you first visit the Site, and through our consent management platform (“CMP”), powered by Clym. Through the banner and preference center you can:

• Accept or reject non-essential cookies by category when you first visit the Site;

• Reopen the preference center at any time: Click to review and change your choices; and

• View and adjust your current consent status. Your preferences are saved for future visits from the same browser and device.

You may also submit privacy rights requests (such as access, deletion, or correction) and manage your consent records through our Governance Portal, powered by Clym, available here: Click.

If you reject cookies, some features of the Site may not function fully. Our CMP is configured to transmit your privacy choices to our advertising and analytics partners using industry-standard signal frameworks (such as Google Consent Mode and applicable U.S. privacy signal specifications), so that those partners honor your choices as required by applicable state privacy laws.

5. Cookies and Scripts We Use

The specific cookies and scripts in use on universal-akb.com are identified in the cookie inventory available through the preference center described in Section 4, which is generated from periodic scans of the Site and is updated as we and our vendors update the Site. A list of the current cookies and scripts in use on uakc.com can be found below:

Cookies

Services

The categories of third-party services that may set cookies on the Site include analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics), advertising networks (e.g., Google, Meta), embedded media services (e.g., YouTube), and our consent management provider (Clym).

6. Third-Party Analytics, Advertising, and Remarketing

Subject to your consent choices and opt-out rights, we may use remarketing services to advertise to you on third-party websites after you visit https://universal-akb.com/. We and our third-party vendors use cookies and similar technologies to inform, optimize, and serve advertisements based on your past visits to https://universal-akb.com/.

Google

Google advertising and remarketing services (including Google Ads) are provided by Google LLC. You can opt out of Google Analytics for Display Advertising and customize Google Display Network ads by visiting the Google Ads Settings page at https://adssettings.google.com. Google also offers the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout), which prevents your data from being collected and used by Google Analytics. For more information on Google’s privacy practices, visit https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Meta (Facebook)

Facebook remarketing services are provided by Meta Platforms, Inc. You can learn about interest-based advertising from Meta at https://www.facebook.com/help/164968693837950 and opt out of Meta’s interest-based ads by following the instructions at https://www.facebook.com/about/ads. Meta adheres to the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising. For more information on Meta’s privacy practices, visit https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy.

Industry Opt-Out Tools

You can also opt out of interest-based advertising by many participating companies through the Digital Advertising Alliance (https://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or https://optout.aboutads.info), the Network Advertising Initiative (https://optout.networkadvertising.org), the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada (https://youradchoices.ca), or the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (https://www.youronlinechoices.eu), or by using your mobile device settings. These tools are provided by third parties, and we are not responsible for their operation.

7. Your Right to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing

Because our use of third-party advertising cookies may constitute “sharing” (or, under some state laws, a “sale”) of personal information, you have the right to opt out. You may do so at any time by: (a) clicking the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link in the footer of the Site; (b) declining advertising and other non-essential cookies through the consent banner or preference center; or (c) using an opt-out preference signal such as Global Privacy Control (see Section 8). Your other privacy rights — including rights to know, access, delete, and correct — are described in our Privacy Policy for the Site.

8. Global Privacy Control

We honor the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) and other legally recognized opt-out preference signals. GPC is a browser-based signal that automatically communicates your preference not to have your personal information sold or shared for behavioral advertising. If our systems detect a GPC signal from your browser, we treat it as a valid request to opt out of the sale and sharing of your personal information for that browser and device, as required by the CCPA and the laws of other states that recognize such signals (including, for example, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Montana, New Jersey, Oregon, and Texas). In response, we will disable applicable non-essential cookies (such as advertising and tracking cookies) and update your consent status in our CMP. We process GPC signals in a frictionless manner — you do not need to take any further action, and we will not require you to complete additional steps or view interstitial content to give effect to the signal. To learn more about GPC, visit https://globalprivacycontrol.org.

9. Do Not Track

Because no uniform standard for “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) browser signals has been adopted, the Site does not currently respond to DNT signals. We do, however, honor Global Privacy Control signals as described in Section 8. You can enable or disable DNT in your browser’s preferences or settings.

10. Managing Cookies in Your Browser

In addition to the tools described above, most web browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through their settings. The steps vary by browser; consult your browser’s help documentation (for example, under “Privacy,” “Security,” or “Site Settings”). If you block or delete cookies, some functionality of the Site — including remembering your preferences and keeping you logged in — may be impaired, and you may need to renew your cookie preferences on your next visit.

11. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or in applicable law. When we do, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. If we make material changes, we will provide conspicuous notice on the Site before the changes take effect, and we will refresh your consent where required by law. We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically.
