Effective date: June 17, 2026
Cognate Hispanic Marketing, LLC ("Cognate," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting the personal information of our clients, partners, and website visitors. It is important to us that you understand how we treat your information. For purposes of the European Union General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), Cognate is the controller of your personal information unless you are explicitly told otherwise.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully before using this website. It describes the conditions under which cognatehispanic.com (the "Website") is made available to you, and how data obtained during your visit may be collected and used. This Privacy Policy applies when personal information of users ("user," "you," or "your") is collected, processed, stored, and used in connection with the Website operated by Cognate. It does not apply to personal information collected offline or outside of the Website. The Website is operated by Cognate, with corporate headquarters located at 1345 Avenue of the Americas, Suite 2024, New York, NY 10105, United States of America.
By using our Website, you agree to be bound by the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not accept these terms, please discontinue accessing or otherwise using our Website. We may modify this Privacy Policy from time to time without advance notice; the effective version will be posted on this page, and your continued use of the Website indicates acceptance of the Privacy Policy in effect at the time of use. This Privacy Policy does not create any third-party beneficiary rights.
Cognate is committed to protecting the privacy of children, and we encourage parents and guardians to take an active role in their children's online activities. Cognate does not knowingly collect information from minors and does not target its Website to children under the age of 16. If a child has provided us with personally identifiable information (such as name, address, telephone number, or email address) without the consent of a parent or guardian, that parent or guardian may contact us at the address listed at the end of this Privacy Policy to request that the information be deleted from our records.
Our Website may provide links to third-party websites for the convenience of our users. If you follow those links, you will leave the Cognate Website. We do not control these third-party websites and cannot represent that their policies and practices will be consistent with this Privacy Policy. Other websites may collect or use information about you in a manner different from that described here. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any website before submitting your personal information, and you access third-party websites at your own risk.
Non-personal information is data about usage and service operation that is not directly associated with a specific personal identity. Cognate may collect and analyze non-personal information to evaluate how visitors use our Website.
Personal information is information that is associated with your name or personal identity. The types of personal information you may provide to us through the Website include your name, company, job title, business address, phone number, email address, and the contents of any message, inquiry, or campaign brief you submit. We use this information to understand your needs and interests and to respond to you.
Cognate may gather aggregate information that your browser or device automatically provides and that cannot be tied back to you as a specific individual. Examples include referral data (the websites you visited just before and after our Website), the pages viewed, and time spent on our Website.
Each time you request or download a file from our Website, we may store data about that event and your Internet Protocol ("IP") address in a log file. An IP address is a number automatically assigned to your device when you access the internet. We may use this information to analyze trends, administer the Website, track visitors' movements, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use or other business purposes.
Our Website may use cookies — small packets of information stored on your device — as well as pixels and similar technologies. We may use cookies to remember your preferences, deliver content relevant to your interests, measure performance, and understand how the Website is used. Most browsers can be configured to accept all cookies, to notify you when a cookie is set, or to reject all cookies; if you refuse all cookies, certain features of the Website may not function correctly. We do not link non-personal information from cookies to personally identifiable information without your permission. For details on the specific cookies used and how to manage them, please use our cookie banner and preferences tool.
We use the personal information you provide to respond to your request or inquiry and in the ordinary course of conducting our business, including to:
We also create and use anonymous and de-identified information to assess, improve, and develop our business, products, and services. This information is not subject to the restrictions in this Policy, provided it does not identify and could not be used to identify a particular individual.
We work with third-party ad networks, analytics companies, measurement services, and others ("third-party ad companies") to manage advertising on third-party sites, apps, and online services. We and these companies may use cookies, pixel tags, and similar tools to collect activity information, IP address, device and advertising identifiers, general location information and — with your consent — your device's precise geolocation, in order to deliver more relevant ads and content and to measure their effectiveness.

Cognate is a Hispanic marketing, advertising, and technology company. As part of providing our services, we may organize the information we collect into audiences and user groups based on interests and online actions, and we and our clients and partners may use those audiences to design and deliver advertising campaigns and other relevant content across devices, using our own first-party data together with third-party data and marketing-technology services.
We take commercially reasonable steps to maintain the security of personal information. We may transfer or disclose information — and, for non-personal and aggregate information, may sell or rent it: (i) to create data-driven marketing products; (ii) when we believe in good faith that the law requires it; (iii) at the request of a governmental authority conducting an investigation, including judicial or government subpoenas, warrants, or orders; (iv) to verify or enforce this Privacy Policy or our Terms of Use; (v) to respond to an emergency; (vi) to protect the rights, property, safety, or security of third parties, users, or the public; (vii) in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets, in which case information may be transferred as a business asset; or (viii) to protect our systems or business where we reasonably believe you to be in violation of this Privacy Policy or to have engaged in illegal activity. Such disclosures may be made without notice to you.
Please remember that any information you disclose in public areas of the Website becomes information that others may collect and use; exercise caution when deciding to disclose information about yourself or others.
Given the international scope of our business, personal information may be visible to and processed by persons outside your country of residence, including in the United States, whose data-protection laws may differ from — and may be deemed by your jurisdiction to provide a lower level of protection than — those of your home country. In accordance with applicable laws implementing the GDPR, individuals located outside the United States who submit personal information consent to the use of that information as described in this Privacy Policy and to its transfer to and storage in the United States or another jurisdiction. If you are unsure whether this Privacy Policy conflicts with applicable local rules, please do not submit your information.
If the GDPR applies to the processing of your personal information, you have the right to access, correct, update, port, restrict, or delete your personal information, and to object to certain processing. Where we rely on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below.

Cognate is committed to keeping the personal information of our users accurate. You may verify and request changes to the information you have submitted by emailing us a request. To protect your privacy and security, we may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access to modify your information.

Cognate makes every reasonable effort to protect users' personal information, including the use of firewalls and other security measures on our servers. However, no server or internet transmission is 100% secure, and you should take this into account when submitting personal or confidential information on any website, including this one. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any credentials associated with your information. Please use care when providing personal information.
