Information about the cookies we use on hilbertsai.org and how to manage your preferences.
Last updated: March 1, 2025
This Cookie Policy explains how Hilberts AI Capital (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website at hilbertsai.org (the “Website”). It describes what cookies are, which cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which provides fuller information about how we process personal data and your rights under applicable data protection law.
By using the Website, you consent to our use of strictly necessary cookies as described in this policy. For all other categories of cookies, we will request your consent before placing them on your device. You can withdraw or modify your consent at any time using the methods described in this policy.
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. They are widely used by websites to make them work, or to work more efficiently, and to provide information to the operators of websites about how their sites are being used.
Cookies are set either by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party organisations whose content, functionality, or analytics tools have been incorporated into the website (third-party cookies). Cookies can be session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a period specified in the cookie or until you delete them.
In addition to cookies, we may use similar tracking technologies such as web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage. These technologies work similarly to cookies and are subject to the same consent requirements. Where this Cookie Policy refers to “cookies,” it is intended to encompass these similar technologies unless the context indicates otherwise.
We use the following categories of cookies on the Website:
Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the Website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and, where applicable, form submission. Without these cookies, the Website cannot function correctly and services you have requested cannot be provided.
Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent under applicable law because they are essential for the provision of the service you have requested. However, we describe them here in the interest of full transparency.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| cookie_consent | Stores your cookie consent preferences so that we do not repeat the consent request on every page visit. | 12 months | First-party |
| session_id | Identifies your browsing session to ensure page navigation works correctly and to prevent repeated loading errors. | Session | First-party |
| csrf_token | Protects against cross-site request forgery attacks when you submit forms on the Website. | Session | First-party |
Functional cookies allow the Website to remember choices you have made — such as your language preference or display settings — to provide a more personalised experience. They may also be used to remember your preferences regarding certain features or to provide enhanced functionality. These cookies do not track your browsing activity across other websites.
We will only place functional cookies on your device with your consent. You can withdraw consent at any time as described in Section 5 of this policy.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| ui_preferences | Remembers your display preferences (such as dark/light mode if applicable) across sessions. | 6 months | First-party |
| funding_bar_dismissed | Remembers whether you have dismissed the funding announcement bar so it does not reappear. | 30 days | First-party |
Analytics and performance cookies help us understand how visitors use the Website — which pages are most visited, how long visitors spend on each page, whether they encounter error messages, and how they navigate from page to page. This information helps us improve the Website's content, structure, and performance.
We use analytics data in aggregated and anonymised form wherever possible. Where analytics cookies involve processing personal data (such as IP addresses, even in hashed or truncated form), we obtain your consent before placing these cookies. We will only place analytics cookies on your device with your consent.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics: distinguishes unique users. Used to generate statistical reports about Website usage. | 2 years | Third-party (Google) |
| _ga_[ID] | Google Analytics 4: maintains session state and records page view data. | 2 years | Third-party (Google) |
| _gid | Google Analytics: distinguishes users and stores page view information for a 24-hour period. | 24 hours | Third-party (Google) |
| _gat | Google Analytics: throttles request rate to the analytics service to manage performance. | 1 minute | Third-party (Google) |
We use Google Analytics with IP anonymisation enabled, which means that the last octets of your IP address are masked before any analytics processing occurs. Google Analytics data is retained on Google's servers for a maximum of 26 months.
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
We do not currently use marketing or advertising tracking cookies on the Website. We do not place cookies for the purpose of targeting advertisements to you based on your browsing history or profile, and we do not share cookie data with advertising networks or data brokers.
If we introduce marketing or tracking cookies in the future, we will update this Cookie Policy and request your consent before placing such cookies on your device.
As described above, some cookies on the Website are set by third-party organisations rather than by us directly. The principal third-party cookie service we use is Google Analytics, operated by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). Google's use of data collected through Google Analytics is governed by Google's Privacy Policy, available at policies.google.com/privacy.
We have entered into a Data Processing Agreement with Google that governs Google's processing of analytics data on our behalf, as required by the GDPR. Under this agreement, Google processes analytics data only as instructed by us and for the purpose of providing analytics services to us.
We do not use embedded social media widgets, video players, or other third-party content that would place additional third-party cookies on your device without your explicit consent.
You have several options for managing your cookie preferences:
When you first visit the Website, you will see a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. If you click “Accept,” we will place functional and analytics cookies on your device. If you click “Decline,” we will place only strictly necessary cookies.
Your choice is stored in a first-party cookie (cookie_consent) and respected for 12 months from the date of your choice. At any time, you can reset your cookie preferences by deleting the cookie_consent cookie from your browser (see Section 5.2 below) and revisiting the Website, which will cause the consent banner to reappear.
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. Browser controls typically allow you to:
Instructions for managing cookies in common browsers:
Please note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of the Website and other websites you visit. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be blocked through our consent banner because they are essential for the Website to function.
On mobile devices, you can typically manage cookies and similar technologies through your browser app settings. Additionally, your device's operating system may provide settings for limiting ad tracking and resetting advertising identifiers, which can be found in your device's Privacy or Security settings.
The use of non-essential cookies on the Website is subject to the requirements of the GDPR and, where applicable, national laws implementing the ePrivacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC as amended by Directive 2009/136/EC). These laws require that we obtain your prior, informed consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.
We have designed our cookie consent mechanism to meet the requirements of valid consent under the GDPR: consent is freely given (we do not condition access to the Website on accepting non-essential cookies); specific (we describe the categories of cookies for which we seek consent); informed (this Cookie Policy provides detailed information about the cookies we use); and unambiguous (consent is provided by a positive act, clicking “Accept,” rather than through pre-ticked boxes or inferred from inaction).
Your consent to non-essential cookies is a data processing activity for which Hilberts AI Capital is the data controller. Details about how we process personal data relating to your cookie choices are set out in our Privacy Policy.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in applicable law, or changes in our practices. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this policy and, where the changes affect your consent or rights, we will seek fresh consent through our cookie consent banner.
We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies.
