Voice Media Group ("us", "we", or "our") uses cookies on the http://www.miaminewtimes.com website (the "Service"). By using the Service, you consent to the use of cookies

Our Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, how we use cookies, how third-parties we partner with use cookies on the Service, your choices regarding cookies and further information about cookies.

What are cookies

Cookies are small pieces of text sent to your web browser by a website you visit. A cookie file is stored in your web browser and allows the Service or a third-party to recognize you and make your next visit easier and the Service more useful to you.

The period during which a cookie is stored on the device you are browsing with depends on whether it is a "persistent" or a "session" cookie. Session cookies are only stored on a device until the web browser is closed. Permanent cookies remain on the device after you have finished browsing until they expire or are deleted.

How Voice Media Group uses cookies

When you use and access the Service, we place a number of cookies files in your web browser.

We use cookies for the following purposes:

  • To enable certain functions of the Service;
  • To provide data analytics on your use of the Service;
  • To store your preferences;
  • To enable advertisements delivery, including behavioral advertising.

We use both session and persistent cookies on the Service and we use different types of cookies to run the Service:

Essential cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of our Services. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our Service.

Functionality cookies. We use these cookies to recognise you when you return to our Service. This enables us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).

Analytics cookies. We use analytics cookies to track information about how the Service is used so that we can make improvements (for example, to recognize and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it). We also use analytics cookies to test new advertisements, pages, features or new functionality on the Service to see how our users react to them.

Advertising cookies. We use these cookies to offer you personalized and more relevant advertisements, to determine how many times a certain advertisement has already been shown, to calculate the effectiveness of a certain advertising campaign, to keep track of data from a previous visit and to share the data collected with the third parties involved, such as the advertisers.

Third-party cookies

In addition to the cookies we deliver to your device through the Service, certain third parties may deliver cookies to you for a variety of reasons.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics tool that helps us understand how visitors engage with our Website. To learn more about Google Analytics, click here. We also use Google’s AdSense and DoubleClick services. You can use Google’s Ads Settings to manage the Google ads you see and opt out of Ads Personalization. If you do not want information about your visit to the Service sent to Google Analytics, you may download an Opt-out Browser Add-on by clicking here. Please note that the Add-on does not prevent information from being sent to Voice Media Group.

Other third parties may deliver cookies to your computer or mobile device for the purpose of tracking your online behaviors across non-affiliated websites and delivering targeted advertisements either on the Service or on other websites.
