Last Updated: 07/01/26

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how AARO Real Estate LLC, doing business as AARO Hospitality, together with its affiliates and subsidiaries ("AARO," "we," "us," or "our"), uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on this website (the "Site"). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions, which are incorporated herein by reference. By using the Site, you acknowledge the use of cookies as described in this Policy. This Policy is provided for informational purposes and does not create any contractual right or obligation beyond those set forth in our Terms and Conditions.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to improve their performance, and to provide information to the site operator. Cookies may be "first-party" (set by the site you are visiting) or "third-party" (set by a service provider). They may also be "session" cookies (which expire when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (which remain on your device until they expire or are deleted). This Policy also covers similar technologies, such as pixels, tags, local storage, and software development kits, that perform functions comparable to cookies.

3. How We Use Cookies

We use a limited set of cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site, to understand how visitors use the Site, and to improve its content and performance. We do not use cookies for advertising, cross-site behavioral tracking, or the sale of personal information, and we do not use session-replay, keystroke-logging, or screen-recording technologies.

4. Categories of Cookies We Use

We group the cookies used on the Site into the following categories:

(a) Strictly Necessary Cookies. These cookies are essential for the Site to function and are set in response to actions you take, such as navigating the Site or setting your preferences. Because they are strictly necessary, these cookies are always active.

(b) Analytics/Performance Cookies. These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Site by collecting and reporting information on an aggregated basis, such as which pages are visited most often and how visitors move through the Site. We use Google Analytics and Framer's built-in analytics and site tools for this purpose. You may opt out of these cookies at any time as described in Section 7.

(c) Functional Cookies. Where used, these cookies enable the Site to provide enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering choices you make. You may opt out of these cookies at any time as described in Section 7.

(d) Advertising/Targeting Cookies. We do not currently use advertising or targeting cookies on the Site. Should we introduce them in the future, we will update this Policy and provide any notice or choice required by applicable law before they are used.

5. Third-Party Cookies

Certain cookies described above are placed by third-party service providers who act on our behalf, currently Google (in connection with Google Analytics) and Framer (our website platform provider). These providers may process information in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review. We do not control, and are not responsible for, the practices of these third parties beyond the scope of the services they provide to us. We do not authorize these providers to use information collected through the Site for their own independent purposes.

6. Your Choices and Rights

Because we do not sell your personal information or use cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking, our use of cookies is limited to operating and improving the Site. Depending on your state of residence, applicable privacy laws (including the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended) may give you the right to opt out of certain processing. We honor recognized opt-out preference signals, including the Global Privacy Control (GPC), where required by applicable law.

7. How to Manage or Opt Out of Cookies

You can control or opt out of non-essential cookies at any time in the following ways:

  • Browser settings. Most web browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through their settings. The method varies by browser; please consult your browser's help documentation. Please note that if you disable strictly necessary cookies, portions of the Site may not function properly.

  • Google Analytics opt-out. You may opt out of Google Analytics across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available from Google.

  • Global Privacy Control. You may enable a recognized opt-out preference signal, such as GPC, in a supporting browser or extension, which we will honor where required by applicable law.

8. Data Collected Through Cookies

The information collected through the analytics cookies described above is generally limited to technical and usage information, such as IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring pages, pages viewed, and general activity on the Site. We do not use cookies to collect financial account information, Social Security numbers, government-issued identification, biometric data, health information, or other sensitive personal information. For more detail on how we handle personal information generally, please see our Privacy Policy.

9. Data Retention

Cookies remain on your device for varying periods depending on their type and purpose. Session cookies expire when you close your browser; persistent cookies remain until they expire or you delete them.

10. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in our practices, or changes in applicable law. The "Last Updated" date above indicates when this Policy was most recently revised, and your continued use of the Site after any update constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy to the extent permitted by law. We review this Policy and, where necessary, update it at least once every twelve months.

11. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

This Cookie Policy is governed by, and any dispute relating to it is subject to, the governing law, dispute resolution, individual-arbitration, class-action-waiver, and severability provisions set forth in our Terms and Conditions, which are incorporated herein by reference to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
