Cookie Policy
Effective date: August 21, 2026. Last updated: August 21, 2026.
This Cookie Policy explains how NUVISION Media ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on caribradio.live (the "Site") and in connection with the Carib Radio mobile application (the "App"). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function properly, remember your preferences, and provide information to site owners about how the site is used. Similar technologies covered by this policy include mobile device identifiers, SDK-based tracking, pixels, and local storage used within our App.
2. Why we use cookies and tracking technologies
We use cookies and related technologies to:
- Keep the Site and App functioning correctly and securely;
- Remember your preferences (such as station selections, dark/light mode, and consent choices);
- Understand how visitors use our Site and App so we can improve performance and content;
- Deliver, measure, and limit the frequency of advertising, including free-tier in-app ads;
- Support account, subscription, and payment functionality (Premium tier via Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay, and in-app purchase);
- Enable push notifications and diagnostics for streaming and playback quality.
3. Categories of cookies we use
| Category | Purpose | Consent required |

| Analytics | Measures site and app usage, page views, and streaming diagnostics to improve performance | Yes |
| Advertising | Supports free-tier ad delivery, frequency capping, and ad performance measurement | Yes |
Only strictly necessary cookies are set automatically. All other categories are set only after you provide consent through our cookie banner or, on mobile, through Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) and Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompts.

5. Third-party cookies
Some cookies are placed by third parties that provide services on our behalf, including advertising networks (Google AdMob, Meta Ads), payment processors (Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay), and notification services (OneSignal). These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies governing their use of your information, and we encourage you to review them.
6. Your choices and how to manage cookies
You can control cookies in the following ways:
- Use our cookie consent banner to accept, reject, or customize non-essential cookie categories when you first visit the Site;
- Access your browser settings to block or delete cookies at any time; note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect Site functionality;
- On mobile, manage ad tracking consent through the Google UMP prompt (EEA/UK users) or your device's App Tracking Transparency settings (iOS);
- Opt out of interest-based advertising via industry tools such as the Google Ads Settings page or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page;
- Withdraw or change consent at any time through the persistent cookie preferences link in our Site footer.
Withdrawing consent is as simple as giving it, and doing so does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before withdrawal.
7. Legal basis and your rights
Where required by the GDPR, ePrivacy Directive, or UK data protection law, we rely on your consent as the legal basis for setting non-essential cookies. Strictly necessary cookies are set based on our legitimate interest in operating a functioning, secure Site and App. If you are a California resident, the CCPA/CPRA gives you the right to know what categories of personal information are collected via cookies, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of such information for cross-context behavioral advertising. You may exercise these rights by using the cookie preference controls described above or by contacting us.
8. International users
Carib Radio serves a global Caribbean diaspora audience across regions including the EU, UK, US, and Canada. Where applicable, region-specific consent behavior is applied (for example, an opt-in banner for EEA/UK visitors and a disclosure-plus-opt-out model for California visitors).
9. Children's privacy
Our Site and App are not directed to children under 13 (or the relevant minimum age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect data via cookies from children. Where age-of-consent signals are available (such as AdMob's Tag for Under Age of Consent), we apply them to restrict personalized advertising to minors.
10. Changes to this cookie policy
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in the cookies and trackers we use or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last Updated" date above, and where required, we will seek renewed consent.
