Last updated: October 14, 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how AAB Venture Capital ("AABVC," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on aabventurecapital.com (the "Site"). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard personal information.

By clicking “Accept All,” closing the cookie banner, or continuing to browse the Site, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy. You can withdraw or modify your consent at any time through the Cookie Preferences link in our footer.

1) What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used to make websites work or work more efficiently, as well as to provide analytics information and personalized content.

We also use related technologies such as web beacons, pixels, SDKs, local storage, and tags (collectively, “cookies” unless otherwise stated) for similar purposes.

2) Who sets cookies?

  • First‑party cookies are set by AABVC.
  • Third‑party cookies are set by other companies (e.g., analytics and advertising partners) to enable their features or services on our Site.

3) How long do cookies last?

  • Session cookies expire when you close your browser.
  • Persistent cookies remain on your device for a period of time or until you delete them. The duration depends on the cookie and your browser settings.

4) Why we use cookies (categories & purposes)

We may use cookies in the categories below. Specific cookies may vary over time as our Site evolves.

  • Strictly Necessary (Essential) – Required for the Site to function (e.g., page navigation, security, load balancing, cookie consent logging). These cannot be switched off in our systems.
  • Performance & Analytics – Help us understand how visitors use the Site (e.g., most viewed pages, error diagnostics) so we can improve. Examples: Google Analytics, server‑side/first‑party analytics.
  • Functional – Enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your choices (e.g., region, language) or enabling embedded content.
  • Advertising & Targeting – Deliver relevant ads, limit how often you see an ad, and measure campaign performance. Examples: LinkedIn Insight Tag, Meta (Facebook) Pixel, Google Ads/Marketing Platform.
  • Social Media – Provide sharing features or interactions with social networks. These companies may build a profile of your interests.

Note for California residents: Some Advertising & Targeting activities may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA). See Section 10 below.

6) Managing cookies: your choices

You have several options to control cookies:

  • Cookie Preferences (Recommended): Use the Cookie Preferences link in our footer to opt in/out of non‑essential cookie categories at any time. Your selections will be stored via a consent cookie.
  • Browser settings: Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Instructions are typically found in your browser’s Help section. Blocking essential cookies may prevent the Site from functioning correctly.
  • Do Not Track (DNT): Our Site currently does not respond to DNT signals due to lack of industry consensus. We do, however, honor choices you make in our Cookie Preferences tool.
  • Mobile device settings: Your device may include settings to limit ad tracking or reset your advertising ID.

7) Legal bases (EEA/UK/Switzerland)

Where the EU/UK/Swiss law applies:

  • We use essential cookies based on our legitimate interests in providing a secure, functioning Site.
  • We use non‑essential cookies (e.g., analytics, advertising) only with your consent. You can withdraw consent at any time via Cookie Preferences.

8) Children’s data

Our Site is not intended for children under 16, and we do not knowingly use cookies to collect information from children.

9) International data transfers

Third‑party providers that place cookies may process information in countries outside your own. Where required, we implement appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses) and rely on vendor commitments.

10) State privacy rights (e.g., California/Colorado/Connecticut/Virginia/Utah)

Depending on your U.S. state of residence, you may have rights to access, delete, correct, or opt‑out of certain processing. For California residents, certain advertising technologies may constitute a sale or sharing of personal information. To exercise opt‑out rights, use the Cookie Preferences link (toggle off Advertising/Targeting) and/or the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link in our footer. You may also contact us using the details below.

11) Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to cookies we use or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date and may provide additional notice as required.
