Cookie Policy

Last updated: May 1, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Hearthstone Ventures ("Hearthstone," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on hearthstone-vc.com (the "Site"). By continuing to use the Site, you acknowledge this notice.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the website remember information about your visit, which can make your next visit easier and the site more useful to you.

2. Cookies We Use

This Site uses a limited set of cookies:

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for the Site to function. They are set in response to actions you take, such as dismissing the cookie notice. They do not track you across other sites.

  • hv_cookie_notice_seen — Remembers that you have acknowledged the cookie notice, stored in localStorage. Expires: persistent until browser data is cleared.

Analytics Cookies (if applicable)

We may use privacy-focused, cookieless analytics to understand aggregate traffic patterns on the Site. Where cookies are involved, they are used to distinguish sessions in aggregate — not to track individuals.

We do not use advertising cookies, behavioral tracking cookies, or social media tracking pixels.

3. Consent Model

Our use of cookies is based on a notice-only model for strictly necessary cookies and aggregate analytics. We do not require opt-in consent for the limited strictly necessary cookies described above. If we introduce any non-essential cookies in the future, we will update this policy and implement an appropriate consent mechanism.

4. Managing Cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Instructions for common browsers:

  • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
  • Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
  • Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data

Note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some features on the Site.

5. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. We honor DNT signals where technically feasible and do not build behavioral profiles of Site visitors regardless of DNT status.

6. Third-Party Cookies

If you click through to third-party websites linked from this Site, those sites may set their own cookies. We have no control over cookies set by third parties.
