This Cookie Policy explains how Albatross AI Capital LLC ("Albatross AI Capital," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at albatrossai.org (the "Site").

1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to provide functionality you use and appreciate, and to provide information to website owners about how visitors are using their sites.
Cookies are set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by other companies whose services are embedded in the website ("third-party cookies"). Cookies may be stored on your device for the duration of your browser session only ("session cookies") or for a fixed period of time after your browser session ends ("persistent cookies").
Similar tracking technologies include web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs), which are tiny invisible images embedded in web pages and emails, and local storage technologies that store data in your browser. In this Cookie Policy, we use the term "cookies" to refer collectively to all of these technologies.

3. Third-Party Cookies
In addition to our own cookies, the Site may use third-party cookies placed by services we have integrated into the Site. These third-party services may include:
3.1 Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to analyze how visitors use the Site. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect anonymous information about your use of the Site, including pages visited, time spent on pages, and actions taken. This information is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.
Google uses this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the Site, compiling reports on Site activity for us, and providing other services relating to Site activity and internet usage. 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.
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. You can also opt out through Google's Ads Settings at google.com/settings/ads.
3.2 Content Delivery Networks
The Site may use content delivery network (CDN) services to deliver static resources such as fonts and icons. These CDN providers may set their own cookies or use similar technologies. We use locally hosted resources wherever possible to minimize third-party tracking.
3.3 Embedded Content
Where the Site embeds content from third-party platforms, such as video content, those platforms may set cookies on your device when you interact with or view embedded content. We recommend reviewing the privacy and cookie policies of these platforms for more information about the cookies they set.
4. Managing and Controlling Cookies

When you first visit the Site, you will see a cookie banner that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. If you click "Accept," all categories of cookies described in this policy will be enabled. If you click "Decline," only strictly necessary cookies will be set. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the Site, at which point the cookie banner will appear again.

5. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal that you can enable to indicate that you do not want to be tracked across websites. Because there is currently no industry-wide standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, the Site does not currently alter its behavior based on DNT signals. We will revisit this policy if a standard for responding to DNT signals is established.
6. Cookies and Sensitive Information
We do not use cookies to collect sensitive personal information, such as financial information or health information. Cookies set by the Site are used only for the purposes described in this Cookie Policy and do not contain information beyond what is necessary to fulfill those purposes.
7. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our use of cookies, changes in applicable law, or other factors. When we update this Cookie Policy, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of the page and post the updated policy on the Site. We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies.
If we make changes that materially affect how we use cookies or your rights with respect to cookies, we will provide more prominent notice, which may include displaying a notice on the Site or updating the cookie consent banner.
