Cookie Policy

1. About this Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how SOZA Ventures LLC uses cookies and similar technologies on sozaventures.com.

It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files stored on a device when a website is visited.

Cookies may allow a website or service provider to recognize a browser or device and may be used for purposes such as:

• maintaining website functionality;
• security;
• remembering preferences;
• fraud prevention;
• measuring website usage; and
• supporting payment functionality.

Similar technologies may include:

• local storage;
• pixels;
• tags;
• scripts; and
• other device or browser storage technologies.

For simplicity, this Policy refers to these collectively as "cookies" where appropriate.

3. Categories of Cookies

Depending on how the Site is configured, we may use the following categories.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These technologies are necessary for the Site to function or to provide functionality requested by the user.

They may be used for purposes such as:

• website security;
• network management;
• fraud prevention;
• session management;
• load balancing;
• payment processing;
• remembering privacy choices; and
• essential form functionality.

Where permitted by applicable law, strictly necessary technologies may be used without consent because the relevant service could not reasonably function without them.

Preference Cookies

Preference cookies may remember selections such as:

• language;
• interface preferences; or
• other voluntary settings.

Where consent is required by applicable law, these technologies will not be activated until appropriate consent has been obtained.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics technologies may be used to understand matters such as:

• how many people visit the Site;
• pages viewed;
• approximate traffic sources;
• Site navigation;
• device categories;
• performance; and
• technical errors.

Where applicable law requires consent, analytics technologies will be disabled until consent is provided.

Marketing or Advertising Cookies

SOZA Ventures does not intend to activate advertising or cross-site behavioral advertising technologies on the Site unless such functionality is expressly implemented.

If advertising or marketing cookies are implemented in the future, this Cookie Policy and the applicable consent mechanism will be updated.

Where required by applicable law, such technologies will not be activated before consent.

4. Payment Technologies

SOZA Ventures may use third-party payment providers, including Stripe, to process Consulting Service payments.

Stripe and related payment technologies may process information or use technologies necessary for:

• payment processing;
• authentication;
• fraud detection;
• security;
• transaction management; and
• prevention of abusive transactions.

Some payment and fraud-prevention technologies may be considered strictly necessary for providing a payment service requested by the user.

Payment providers may also process information in accordance with their own privacy documentation and legal obligations.

5. Cookie Consent

Where applicable law requires consent before using non-essential cookies, the Site will provide a mechanism allowing users to make appropriate choices.

Non-essential cookies requiring consent should not be activated before the required consent has been obtained.

6. Withdrawing Consent

Where consent is used, you may withdraw or modify that consent through the cookie settings made available on the Site.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect processing that lawfully occurred before withdrawal.

7. Necessary Cookies

Disabling strictly necessary cookies through browser settings may cause parts of the Site to stop functioning correctly.

This may affect functionality such as:

• forms;
• security protections;
• payment functionality; or
• preference management.

8. Browser Controls

Most browsers allow users to manage cookies through browser settings.

Depending on the browser, users may be able to:

• view cookies;
• delete cookies;
• block cookies;
• block third-party cookies; or
• receive notifications when cookies are placed.

Browser controls operate independently from SOZA Ventures' Site-level cookie settings.

9. Do Not Track

Some browsers transmit "Do Not Track" signals.

There is no single universally implemented standard governing all uses of such signals.

SOZA Ventures will comply with browser-based privacy signals to the extent required by applicable law.

10. Global Privacy Control

Where applicable law requires recognition of Global Privacy Control (GPC) or another legally recognized opt-out preference signal, SOZA Ventures will process such signals in accordance with applicable requirements.

11. Third-Party Services

The Site may rely on third-party providers for functionality such as:

• hosting;
• payments;
• security;
• analytics;
• forms;
• scheduling; or
• communications.

These providers may use cookies or similar technologies in connection with their services.

Where non-essential third-party technologies require consent under applicable law, they should not be activated before appropriate consent has been obtained.

12. Exact Cookies Used

The exact cookies and technologies used by the Site may change as our technical infrastructure changes.

Where a cookie consent management interface is provided, it may display current information concerning:

• cookie or technology name;
• provider;
• purpose;
• category; and
• duration.

We will endeavor to keep the information presented through the Site and this Policy consistent with the technologies actually in use.

13. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when:

• Site functionality changes;
• service providers change;
• new technologies are implemented; or
• applicable legal requirements change.

The date at the top of this document identifies the current version.
