Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Oroai Ventures LLC ("Oroai Ventures," "Oroai," "we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at oroaius.org (the "Site"). This policy provides you with clear and transparent information about the cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can exercise your preferences regarding cookies.

By continuing to use the Site after being presented with our cookie consent notice, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this Cookie Policy. You may withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your browser settings or using the opt-out mechanisms described below.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website operators about how users interact with their sites.

Cookies are set by either the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services used by that website (third-party cookies). Cookies can be either "session cookies," which are temporary and expire when you close your browser, or "persistent cookies," which remain on your device for a specified period of time or until you delete them.

Cookies are not viruses or malware. They cannot carry or transmit viruses, and they cannot access other files on your device. A cookie simply stores a string of text that a website can read when you visit it.

2. Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar tracking technologies on the Site, including:

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small graphic images, often invisible, that are included in web pages or emails and used to monitor user behavior or to collect information about how content is being used. Web beacons are typically used in conjunction with cookies.
• Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with larger storage capacity and without an expiration date (unless explicitly cleared).
• Session Storage: Similar to local storage but cleared automatically when you close your browser session.
• Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your browser configuration and device characteristics to create a unique identifier. We use this technique only to the extent necessary for security and fraud prevention purposes.

For simplicity, we refer to all of these technologies collectively as "cookies" throughout this Cookie Policy.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Site to function correctly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and basic page rendering. Without these cookies, the Site cannot operate properly. Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the Site to function, they cannot be disabled through our cookie consent mechanism, although you can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, which may affect certain Site functionality.

Examples of strictly necessary cookies used on the Site include:

• Session Management Cookie: Used to maintain your session state as you navigate between pages. This cookie is a session cookie and expires when you close your browser.
• Cookie Consent Cookie: Used to store your cookie consent preferences so that we can remember your choices and avoid showing you the cookie consent banner on every visit. This is a persistent cookie with a retention period of twelve (12) months.
• Security Cookies: Used to prevent cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks and other security threats to the Site.

3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Site. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular, how visitors move around the Site, and what content is most engaging. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our Site and will not be able to monitor its performance.

Performance and analytics cookies we use on the Site include:

• Analytics Measurement Cookies: Used to collect information about how visitors use the Site, including pages visited, time on page, and referring URLs. This information is used to compile reports and help us improve the Site. The data collected by these cookies does not personally identify any individual.
• Performance Monitoring Cookies: Used to monitor the technical performance of the Site, including page load times and error rates, to help us identify and address technical issues promptly.

3.3 Functionality Cookies

These cookies enable the Site to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, then some or all of these services may not function properly.

Functionality cookies we may use on the Site include:

• Preference Cookies: Used to remember choices you make on the Site, such as your language preference, to provide a more personalized experience.
• Font and Asset Loading Cookies: Used to cache web fonts and other static assets locally on your device, improving the performance of the Site on subsequent visits.

3.4 Targeting and Advertising Cookies

At present, Oroai Ventures does not use targeting or advertising cookies on the Site. We do not serve personalized advertisements through the Site, and we do not share information about your browsing behavior with advertising networks or third-party advertisers. If this changes in the future, we will update this Cookie Policy accordingly and seek your consent where required.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on the Site are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. We use third-party services to help us analyze how the Site is used and to provide certain functionality. These third-party providers may set their own cookies on your device. We do not have control over these third-party cookies, and they are governed by the privacy and cookie policies of the respective third parties.

Third-party services that may set cookies on the Site include:

• Web Analytics Providers: We use analytics services to understand how visitors use the Site. These services may set cookies to collect information about your use of the Site and other websites.
• Content Delivery Networks (CDNs): We use CDN services to deliver certain static assets (such as fonts and stylesheets) efficiently. CDN providers may set performance cookies.

We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party services that may be setting cookies on the Site to understand how they collect and use your information.

5. Cookie Retention Periods

The retention period for cookies varies depending on the type and purpose of the cookie:

• Session Cookies: These cookies expire and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. They are not stored on your device between browsing sessions.
• Cookie Consent Cookie: Retained for up to twelve (12) months from the date of your consent, after which you will be asked to confirm your preferences again.
• Analytics Cookies: Typically retained for between twelve (12) and twenty-six (26) months, depending on the specific analytics service provider and configuration.
• Functionality Cookies: Retention periods vary; typically between thirty (30) days and twelve (12) months.

6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

6.1 Cookie Consent Banner

When you first visit the Site, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. If you click "Accept," we will place non-essential cookies on your device in addition to strictly necessary cookies. If you click "Decline," we will only place strictly necessary cookies.

Your preference will be stored in a cookie on your device for twelve (12) months. After this period, we will ask for your consent again. You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the Site, which will cause the cookie consent banner to reappear.

6.2 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through your browser settings. You can typically set your browser to: refuse all cookies; accept only certain types of cookies; notify you when a cookie is being set; or delete cookies that have already been placed on your device.

The method for managing cookie settings varies by browser. To find out how to manage cookies in your browser, please consult the help documentation for your specific browser:

• Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
• Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
• Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
• Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Cookies and site data

Please note that restricting or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of the Site and may prevent you from taking full advantage of all features available on the Site. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled through browser settings without significantly impairing Site functionality.

6.3 Do Not Track

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Currently, the Site does not respond to DNT signals, as there is no industry standard for how DNT signals should be interpreted. We will continue to monitor developments regarding DNT standards and update our practices if a universal standard emerges.

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 law, or for other operational reasons. When we make updates, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this Cookie Policy. If we make material changes, we will provide notice through the Site or by other appropriate means. Your continued use of the Site following the posting of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Cookie Policy.
