1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Vates AI ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize, collect, and track information about you when you visit our website or use our services. This policy explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside, and in addition to, our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. By using our website or services, you are agreeing to our use of cookies as described in this Cookie Policy.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Vates AI) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer or device both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

3. Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our websites and services to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our websites and services. Third parties serve cookies through our websites for analytics, personalization, and advertising purposes.

The specific types of first and third-party cookies served through our websites and the purposes they perform are described below.
