In short

This website sets no cookies of its own and uses no advertising, tracking pixels or third-party analytics. It keeps a few small items in your browser's storage so the site works, and counts anonymous visits only if you allow it.

Essential (always on)

  • mle-consent (localStorage): remembers your privacy choice. Kept until you clear it or we update this notice.
  • mle-theme (localStorage): remembers light or dark mode.
  • mle-intent (sessionStorage): remembers which path you chose (for example “Build a startup”) so the next step is relevant. Cleared when you close the tab.

Anonymous analytics (only with your permission)

  • mle-sid (sessionStorage): a random identifier for your current tab, used to group anonymous page and click events. Deleted when you close the tab, or immediately if you choose “Essential only”. We honour Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control.

Embedded websites

Venture pages can show the venture's live website. That embedded site may use its own storage under its own policy; it loads only on that page.
