Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how HaiQV AI Ventures LLC ("HaiQV," "we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website at haiqvai.com (the "Site"). This policy provides you with clear and comprehensive information about the cookies we use, the purposes for which we use them, and how you can exercise control over your cookie preferences.

By continuing to use our Site after being shown a cookie consent notice, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy. You can withdraw your consent or change your preferences at any time by following the instructions in Section 5 of this policy. Please read this Cookie Policy alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional context about how we collect and use personal information more broadly.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — your computer, smartphone, or tablet — when you visit a website. They are widely used by website operators to make websites work more efficiently, to enhance the visitor experience, and to provide information to the website operator about how the site is being used.

Cookies serve a variety of purposes. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the technical operation of a website and cannot be disabled without affecting the site's ability to function. Others are used to improve the user experience, remember your preferences, or provide analytics data to help us understand and improve how our Site is used. And some cookies are used for marketing and advertising purposes, though we take a minimal approach to marketing cookies on our Site.

2.1 Types of Cookies by Duration

Session cookies are temporary cookies that exist only for the duration of your browsing session. They are automatically deleted from your device when you close your browser. Session cookies are typically used for essential website functions, such as maintaining your session state as you navigate between pages.

Persistent cookies remain on your device after your browser session ends, until they reach their specified expiration date or until you manually delete them. Persistent cookies are used for purposes such as remembering your preferences between visits, tracking your returning visits for analytics purposes, and maintaining session information across multiple browsing sessions.

2.2 Types of Cookies by Origin

First-party cookies are set directly by haiqvai.com and are only readable by our Site. These cookies are used for essential site functions, user preference storage, and our own analytics.

Third-party cookies are set by domains other than haiqvai.com, through embedded content or scripts from external service providers. For example, if we embed analytics scripts or use third-party services on our Site, those providers may set their own cookies on your device when you visit our pages.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the basic operation of our Site and cannot be disabled without affecting the Site's functionality. They do not require your consent under most privacy regulations because they are strictly necessary to provide the service you have requested. Strictly necessary cookies on our Site include:

3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Site by collecting and reporting anonymous usage information. This data helps us identify which pages are most popular, understand visitor journeys through the Site, detect errors and performance issues, and make improvements to the overall user experience. The information collected by these cookies is aggregated and anonymized — it does not identify individual visitors.

We use performance and analytics cookies on an opt-in basis, and they are only placed on your device with your consent. If you decline analytics cookies, we will not be able to include your visit in our usage statistics, but your ability to use the Site will not be affected.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our Site to remember choices you have made and to provide enhanced, personalized features. For example, they may remember your preferred language, region, or display settings so that you do not have to configure them on each visit. These cookies do not track your browsing activity on other websites and are not used for advertising purposes.

We use functional cookies on an opt-in basis. If you decline functional cookies, some personalization features of our Site may not be available, but core Site functionality will remain unaffected.

3.4 Marketing and Targeting Cookies

HaiQV AI Ventures currently does not use marketing or advertising targeting cookies on our Site. We do not use cookies to track your browsing activity across other websites, to build advertising profiles about you, or to serve you targeted advertisements based on your browsing history.

If we introduce marketing or targeting cookies in the future, we will update this Cookie Policy accordingly and will request your consent before placing any such cookies on your device.

4. Local Storage and Similar Technologies

In addition to traditional cookies, our Site uses localStorage — a browser storage mechanism that allows websites to store data locally on your device. Unlike cookies, localStorage data is not automatically sent to our servers with each request and does not expire unless explicitly cleared. We use localStorage for the following purposes:

• Funding bar dismissal: We store a flag in localStorage indicating that you have dismissed the funding announcement bar, so it does not reappear during your current browsing session or future visits.
• Cookie consent preference: Your cookie consent choice may be stored in localStorage to ensure your preferences are respected consistently across pages and sessions.

You can clear localStorage data through your browser's settings, typically in the same location where you manage cookies. Instructions for managing localStorage are provided in Section 5 of this policy.

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

5.1 Using Our Cookie Consent Tool

When you first visit our Site, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept all cookies, decline non-essential cookies, or review and customize your preferences. You can revisit and change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and reloading the Site, which will cause the consent banner to reappear.

5.2 Browser-Level Cookie Controls

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, and be notified when cookies are set. The exact steps depend on which browser you use:

• Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
• Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Safari (macOS): Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
• Safari (iOS): Settings → Safari → Privacy & Security
• Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data

Please note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of our Site and other websites you visit. If you block strictly necessary cookies, some parts of the Site may not function correctly. Blocking analytics cookies will prevent us from collecting data about your visit, but will not affect your ability to use the Site.

5.3 Opt-Out Tools for Analytics Providers

If you use Google Analytics cookies and wish to opt out of Google Analytics tracking specifically, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available from Google. This add-on instructs the Google Analytics JavaScript to prohibit sending information to Google Analytics servers for all websites you visit.

5.4 Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers transmit "Do Not Track" signals to websites. Our Site does not currently respond to "Do Not Track" signals because there is no industry-wide standard for how websites should respond to such signals. We will continue to monitor developments in this area and update our practices if a consensus standard emerges.

6. International Considerations

If you are visiting our Site from outside the United States, please note that the data collected by cookies may be transferred to, processed, and stored in the United States. By using our Site and consenting to the use of cookies, you acknowledge this transfer. We take appropriate steps to ensure that any personal data collected through cookies is handled in accordance with applicable privacy laws, including the GDPR and CCPA as described in our Privacy Policy.

For users in the European Economic Area, UK, and Switzerland: Our use of non-essential cookies is based on your consent as required by the ePrivacy Directive and applicable national implementations. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

7. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies and tracking technologies we use, changes in applicable laws, or improvements to our privacy practices. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies. If we make material changes that require fresh consent for previously declined cookie categories, we will display a new consent banner to obtain your updated preferences.
