This Cookie Policy explains how KnownWeil Capital SAS ("KnownWeil Capital," "we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website at www.knownweil.com (the "Website"). This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides fuller information about how we process personal data.

In the European Union and United Kingdom, cookies that are not strictly necessary for the Website to function require your consent before being placed on your device, in accordance with Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive and applicable national implementing legislation. Our cookie banner allows you to provide, manage, and withdraw your consent for different categories of cookies.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners about how visitors use their sites.

Cookies can be categorized in several ways:

By Duration

  • Session cookies: Temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser. They are used to remember information during a single browsing session.
  • Persistent cookies: Cookies that remain on your device for a set period of time after you close your browser. They are used to remember your preferences across multiple visits.

By Origin

  • First-party cookies: Cookies set by the website you are currently visiting (in this case, by knownweil.com).
  • Third-party cookies: Cookies set by domains other than the website you are currently visiting, typically through embedded content or third-party services integrated into the Website.

Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use similar tracking technologies, including:

  • Web beacons: Small transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether content has been viewed
  • Local storage: Browser storage mechanisms (sessionStorage, localStorage) that store data on your device
  • Pixel tags: Small code snippets used to collect information about how users interact with content

References to "cookies" in this policy apply equally to these similar technologies unless stated otherwise.

2. Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following general purposes:

  • Essential functionality: To ensure the Website operates correctly, including remembering your session as you navigate between pages
  • User preferences: To remember your settings and preferences, such as your cookie consent choices and language preferences
  • Analytics and improvement: To understand how visitors use our Website so we can improve its content, structure, and performance
  • Security: To protect the Website and our users from fraudulent activity and to maintain the integrity of our systems

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Category 1: Strictly Necessary Cookies

Always Active

These cookies are essential for the Website to function and cannot be disabled. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences or navigating between pages. You can configure your browser to block these cookies, but this may affect Website functionality. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information beyond what is necessary for the session.

Category 2: Functional Cookies

Consent Required

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your preferences across sessions (e.g., preferred content language, last visited pages). They may be set by us or by third-party providers. If you disable these cookies, some features of the Website may not function as expected.

Category 3: Analytics Cookies

Consent Required

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. They allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor site performance.

Category 4: Marketing and Social Cookies

Consent Required

These cookies may be set through our Website by our social media partners or by advertising networks. They may be used to track your activity across other websites to build a profile of your interests. Our Website may include social media sharing features from LinkedIn and Twitter, which may set their own cookies. We do not currently run paid advertising campaigns, so advertising tracking cookies are not used at this time.

5. Third-Party Cookies

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to analyze Website traffic and improve the visitor experience. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect anonymous information about how visitors use our Website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the Website (including your IP address) is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

We have enabled IP anonymization, which means your IP address is truncated before being stored by Google. We have also configured our Google Analytics implementation to not share data with other Google services.

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

For more information about Google's privacy practices, please visit: https://policies.google.com/privacy

LinkedIn

Our Website includes links to our LinkedIn company page and may include LinkedIn sharing functionality. When you interact with LinkedIn features, LinkedIn may set cookies on your device. These cookies are governed by LinkedIn's own Cookie Policy, available at:

Twitter/X

Our Website includes links to our Twitter/X profile. If Twitter/X widgets are embedded, Twitter may set cookies. Twitter's privacy practices are described at:

6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Our Cookie Consent Banner

When you first visit our Website, a cookie consent banner is displayed. You can use this banner to:

  • Accept all cookies, including analytics and functional cookies
  • Accept only strictly necessary cookies
  • Access our full cookie preference center to make granular choices by category

Your consent preferences are stored in the kw_cookies cookie for 12 months. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Preferences" link in the footer of any page of our Website.

Withdrawing Consent

You may withdraw your consent to non-essential cookies at any time. To do so, you can:

  • Clear the kw_cookies cookie from your browser settings and reload the Website, which will trigger the consent banner again
  • Contact us at privacy@knownweil.com to request removal of analytics data collected about your visits

Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal, and does not affect processing of data that does not rely on your consent.

7. Browser-Level Cookie Controls

All modern browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. Here is how to manage cookies in the most popular browsers:

Browser Cookie Management Instructions
Google Chrome Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
Mozilla Firefox Settings > Privacy & Security > Enhanced Tracking Protection
Apple Safari Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
Microsoft Edge Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies

Third-Party Opt-Out Tools

You can opt out of interest-based advertising across many companies through the following industry opt-out tools:

8. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. There is currently no accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Our Website does not currently respond to DNT browser signals. However, you can manage your tracking preferences through our cookie consent banner or the browser settings described above.

For California residents: California law does not currently require websites to respond to DNT signals, but you may use the opt-out mechanisms described in this policy to limit the collection and use of your information.

For visitors accessing the Website from the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we obtain your consent before placing any non-essential cookies on your device, in accordance with the requirements of the ePrivacy Directive and applicable national laws.

Your consent is:

  • Freely given: You can use our Website with only essential cookies enabled
  • Specific: You can accept or decline each category of cookie separately
  • Informed: This Cookie Policy provides complete information about the cookies we use
  • Withdrawable: You can withdraw consent at any time without any detriment to your use of the Website

Consent records are maintained in our systems for compliance purposes and are available to you upon request.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in applicable law, or changes to our Website functionality. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy and, where appropriate, notify you through our cookie consent banner or by email.

We recommend that you review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies. Your continued use of our Website following any changes constitutes your acceptance of those changes in respect of strictly necessary cookies.
