2. Cookieless pings
We use Google Consent Mode v2. Before you make a choice, Google Analytics may receive a small “cookieless ping” from your browser — no cookies are stored and no personal identifier is sent. This is what allows the banner to appear without already tracking you. Once you decline, the pings stop carrying any analytics signal.
3. Where the banner applies
The cookie banner is shown on the UGCFrame marketing site (ugcframe.com), the login / signup pages, and the authenticated dashboard. It is not shown on creator subdomains ({handle}.ugcframe.com) because we do not run Google Analytics on creator subdomains. Each creator subdomain receives an anonymous first-party view count (no cookie) so the creator can see how their portfolio is performing.
4. Manage your choices
You can change your cookie preferences at any time:
If clearing site data in your browser removes the ugcf_consent_v1 cookie, the banner will appear again on your next visit.
