Cookie Settings/Cookies

Effective Date: July 4, 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how 5 to 9 Club LLC ("we," "us," and "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website ("Website"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

What Are Cookies?

A cookie is a small data file containing a unique identifier that is sent to your computer or mobile device from a website and is stored on your device's hard drive. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, 5 to 9 Club LLC) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., like analytics, advertising, payment processing, and event ticketing).

We may also use other similar tracking technologies like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs") and local storage. These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an e-mail that we have sent them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Website to another and to improve site performance. For simplicity, we refer to all of these tracking technologies as "cookies" in this policy.

How We Use Cookies

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Website. Third parties, such as our payment processor (Stripe), event ticketing platform (Ticket Tailor), and community forum platform (Circle), serve cookies through our Website for performance, advertising, analytics, and to enable their core functions. This is described in more detail below.

The specific types of first- and third-party cookies served through our Website and the purposes they perform are described in the list below.

Your Choices and How to Opt-Out

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences through our Cookie Consent Banner. When you first visit our Website, a banner will appear providing you with the option to accept all cookies, decline all non-essential cookies, or manage your preferences on a more granular level.

If you choose to "Manage Cookies," you can enable or disable specific categories of cookies (such as Analytics or Advertising cookies). You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the "Manage Cookies" link or icon that is persistently available in the footer of our Website.

Please note that because strictly necessary cookies are required for the Website to function, they cannot be disabled. If you choose to reject non-essential cookies, you may still use our Website, though your access to some functionality and areas may be restricted.

You can also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your browser controls vary from browser-to-browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information.

Global Privacy Control (GPC)

Certain U.S. state privacy laws, such as the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) and the Colorado Privacy Act (CPA), provide residents with the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of their personal information for purposes like targeted advertising. We honor these rights.

Our Website recognizes and processes Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals. GPC is a setting you can enable in your web browser or through a browser extension to signal your privacy preference to not have your data sold or shared. If our Website detects a GPC signal from your browser, we will automatically treat it as a valid request to opt out of any sale or sharing of your personal information that may occur through advertising or analytics cookies for that browser. This will happen automatically, and your preference will override any conflicting settings in our cookie banner.

Third-Party Services: Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC ("Google"), to help us understand how visitors engage with our Website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about your use of the Website, such as your IP address, the time of your visit, whether you are a return visitor, and any referring website. This information is used to evaluate your use of the Website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

The data collected by Google Analytics is governed by Google's own privacy policy. For more information on how Google uses data when you use our Website, please visit www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. You can opt out of Google Analytics without affecting how you visit our site – for more information on opting out of being tracked by Google Analytics across all websites you use, visit this Google page: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Our implementation of Google Analytics utilizes Google's "Consent Mode." This means that if you decline analytics cookies, Google will adjust its data collection to respect your choice, for example by sending anonymous, cookieless pings for basic measurement, without using cookies to identify you personally.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Effective Date" at the top. We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy frequently to be informed of how we are using cookies.
