1. About This Policy

1.1 This policy is issued by ElevateAI, 8 The Green, Ste R, Dover, Delaware 19901, United States. Questions: privacy@elevatenext.ai, phone +1 212 287 9171.

1.2 Some information collected through cookies is, or can become, personal information when combined with other information. Our use of that information is described in the Privacy Notice.

2. What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are

2.1 Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies set by us are "first-party cookies"; cookies set by other companies through our site are "third-party cookies," which let those companies provide features such as analytics and advertising and recognize your device across sites.

2.2 We also use similar technologies: pixels and web beacons (tiny graphics that tell us when a page or email was opened), and browser storage (local and session storage used by site features to remember state). References to "cookies" in this policy include these technologies.

3. The Categories We Use

3.1 Strictly necessary. Required for the sites to work: security and bot protection, fraud prevention, and recording your cookie choices. These cannot be switched off.

3.2 Functional. Remember your choices and enable site features such as live chat, language preferences, and widget settings. Without them, some features may not work.

3.3 Analytics. Help us understand how the sites are used (pages visited, session behavior, and errors) so we can improve them.

3.4 Advertising and social. Set by advertising and social platforms to measure our campaigns, build audiences, and show you more relevant ads on other sites. Under some US state laws, this use is "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising or "targeted advertising," which you can opt out of (Section 5).

4. The Cookies We Use, by Category

The lists below show the cookies that may be set on our sites. The exact set may vary by page and by the choices you make, and we update these lists as our cookies change.

• (a) __cf_bm (Cloudflare): bot management and site security.
• (b) m (Stripe): fraud prevention and payment security.
• (c) AEC (Google): ensures requests within a browsing session are made by the user, preventing malicious request forgery.

• (b) msgsndr_id (platform site widget): supports chat and form widgets on our pages.

4.3 Analytics

• (c) lastExternalReferrer, lastExternalReferrerTime, topicsLastReferenceTime (Meta (Facebook)): measure traffic sources and support Meta advertising features.

5. How to Manage Your Preferences

5.1 Cookie banner. When our cookie banner is available, use it to accept or reject each non-essential category at any time. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be rejected.

5.2 Opt-out preference signals. We honor recognized opt-out preference signals such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC): when your browser sends one, we opt that browser out of advertising cookies and the "sharing" they involve, as described in the Privacy Notice, Section 18.

5.3 Browser controls. You can also manage cookies in your browser settings, including refusing or deleting them; check your browser's help menu. Rejecting cookies may limit some site features.

5.4 Industry opt-outs. For interest-based advertising generally, you can visit the Digital Advertising Alliance (https://www.aboutads.info/choices/), the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada (https://youradchoices.ca/), or the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (https://www.youronlinechoices.com/).

6. Other Tracking Technologies

6.1 We use web beacons and pixels in emails and on pages to measure whether messages are opened and campaigns work, and browser local/session storage to support site features. Many of these depend on cookies, so declining cookies will limit them.

7. Targeted Advertising

7.1 Third parties may set cookies through our sites to serve and measure our advertising elsewhere on the web, using information about your visits to this and other sites. This information does not directly identify you by name unless you choose to provide identifying details. You can opt out through the tools in Section 5.

8. Updates to This Policy

8.1 We may update this policy to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The date at the top shows when it was last updated, and the lists in Section 4 show our current cookies.
