1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how UpLabs Ventures, LLC (“Vantora,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website located at vantora.us and any related subdomains (collectively, the “Site”). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference.
This Cookie Policy provides notice of the cookies and tracking technologies used on our Site. Notice alone does not constitute your consent. We do not activate non-essential cookies or tracking technologies (including analytics, advertising, and non-essential functional technologies) until you affirmatively opt in through our cookie consent banner. Strictly necessary cookies, which are required for the Site to function, are active by default and are described in Section 3.
2. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to the website owner. In addition to cookies, we and our third-party partners may use similar technologies, including:
- Web beacons / pixel tags: small transparent files embedded in web pages or emails that register when you visit a page or open an email.
- Local and session storage: browser-based storage mechanisms that store data on your device beyond, or for the duration of, a session.
- Software development kits (SDKs): code embedded from third-party analytics or marketing partners that collects usage and behavioral data.
- Device characteristics: in limited circumstances, device attributes (browser type, screen resolution, and similar) collected for security and fraud-prevention purposes.
We refer to all of the above collectively as “Cookies” in this Policy.

(“Do Not Track” is separate from the Global Privacy Control described in Section 6.)
