Cookie Policy

Last Updated: October 1, 2025  •  Effective Date: October 1, 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how DataInx Ventures LLC ("DataInx Ventures," "we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the dataiinx.com website (the "Site"). This Cookie Policy supplements our Privacy Policy and should be read together with it. By using the Site, you agree to the use of essential cookies as described in this policy. For non-essential cookies, we will seek your consent through our cookie banner before placing them.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device) when you visit a website. They are widely used by website operators to make their websites function, or to function more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information. Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, DataInx Ventures) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies."

In addition to cookies, websites may use similar tracking technologies such as web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs), local storage objects (LSOs), and scripts. This Cookie Policy covers all such technologies collectively referred to as "cookies."

Cookies may be "session cookies," which are temporary and expire when you close your browser, or "persistent cookies," which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

2. Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following general purposes:

• Essential Site Operation: To ensure the Site functions correctly and securely, including page navigation, session management, and security features.
• Performance and Analytics: To understand how visitors interact with the Site, which pages are most visited, how long visitors spend on pages, and where visitors come from, allowing us to improve the Site's content and functionality.
• Functionality: To remember your preferences and settings to provide an improved experience when you return to the Site.
• Security: To help detect and prevent fraudulent activity, protect our systems, and comply with legal requirements.

5. Third-Party Analytics Services

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC ("Google"), to analyze how visitors use the Site. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect and analyze information about Site usage and to provide reports on Site activity. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf.

We have enabled IP anonymization on Google Analytics, which means that Google truncates IP addresses before storing them. This reduces the ability of Google to identify individual users. We have also configured Google Analytics to use data strictly for analytics purposes and have disabled data sharing with Google's advertising products and other Google services.

For information about how Google collects and processes data in connection with Google Analytics, please review Google's Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy. For information about Google Analytics' data retention settings, please visit Google Analytics' help documentation.

You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

6. How to Manage Cookies

You have several options for managing and controlling cookies:

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. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of the Site. Please note that withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

6.2 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to manage cookie settings through the browser's settings menu. You can typically set your browser to:

• Block all cookies, including essential cookies (note: this will likely affect Site functionality).
• Block only third-party cookies while allowing first-party cookies.
• Delete existing cookies from your device.
• Accept cookies only from specific websites.
• Notify you when a cookie is set, allowing you to decide whether to accept it.

Instructions for managing cookies in common browsers:

• 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 > Manage and Delete Cookies
• Opera: Settings > Advanced > Privacy & Security > Cookies

6.3 Google Analytics Opt-Out

To opt out of Google Analytics tracking specifically, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on provided by Google at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, and dc.js) from sharing information with Google Analytics about your visits to the Site.

6.4 Do Not Track

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. Currently, no universally accepted standard exists for how websites should respond to these signals. As a result, we do not alter our data collection practices in response to Do Not Track signals. We will reassess this position if a standard is established.

6.5 Mobile Device Settings

If you access the Site through a mobile device, you can manage interest-based advertising preferences through your device's privacy settings:

• iOS: Settings > Privacy > Advertising > Limit Ad Tracking
• Android: Settings > Google > Ads > Opt out of Ads Personalization

7. Consequences of Disabling Cookies

Disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of the Site and prevent certain features from working correctly. Specifically:

• Contact forms may not function correctly if session and security cookies are disabled.
• Your cookie consent preferences cannot be saved without functional cookies.
• Page navigation and other basic Site features may be affected if all cookies are blocked.

Disabling non-essential cookies such as analytics cookies will not affect your ability to use the main features of the Site, but it will prevent us from understanding how visitors use the Site and making improvements based on that understanding.

8. Cookies in Our Communications

Our email newsletters and other communications may also use similar technologies. If you subscribe to our Insights newsletter, we may use tracking pixels (small invisible images embedded in emails) to determine whether emails were opened and which links were clicked. This information helps us understand the effectiveness of our communications and improve the content we send to subscribers.

To opt out of email tracking, you can configure your email client to block images from loading automatically, or you can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time using the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of each newsletter.

9. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in applicable law, or for other operational reasons. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy. If we make material changes to the way we use cookies, we will provide prominent notice through the Site or directly to you. Your continued use of the Site after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Cookie Policy.

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
