Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work (or work more efficiently), provide a personalized experience, and provide reporting information.

We use cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website to operate, and we refer to these as "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our platform, particularly regarding our AI matchmaking and event services.

We classify the cookies we use into the following categories:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are essential for you to browse our website and use its core features, such as accessing secure areas, logging into the member portal, or processing event ticket purchases. Because these are necessary for the site to function, you cannot opt out of them.

• Performance and Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect information about how you use our website, such as which pages you visit most often and if you receive error messages. We use this data (often via third-party services like Google Analytics) to improve how our website works.

• Functionality Cookies: These allow our website to remember the choices you make (such as your user name, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For example, they may help remember your "Ask/Offer" preferences for our AI Concierge.

• Targeting/Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your business interests. They may be placed by third-party advertising networks or social media platforms (like LinkedIn) with our permission.

In some cases, we use cookies provided by trusted third parties. This site uses the following third-party integrations which may set cookies on your device:

• Analytics: We use Google Analytics to help us understand how you use the site and ways that we can improve your experience. [Optional: Insert link to Google's Privacy Policy].

• Event Management: When you register for virtual or physical events, third-party providers like Eventbrite or Zoom may use cookies to process your registration and facilitate the event.

• Social Media: We use social media buttons and/or plugins on this site that allow you to connect with your social network (e.g., LinkedIn, WhatsApp). These platforms will set cookies through our site which may be used to enhance your profile on their site or contribute to the data they hold.

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies.

• Cookie Consent Banner: When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie banner that allows you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your preferences.

• Browser Controls: You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our website (like seamless AI matchmaking logins) may be restricted. The means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser-to-browser; please visit your browser's help menu for more information.

• Google Analytics Opt-Out: To prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics, you can install Google's opt-out browser add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
