Cookie Policy

Last Updated: January 15, 2025

At mindfulmentis, we believe in being upfront about how our website works. This page explains what tracking technologies we use, why they matter, and how you can control them. We're not here to hide behind legal jargon – just straight talk about how we collect information when you visit mindfulmentis.com.

What Are Cookies Anyway?

Think of cookies as small notes your browser keeps about your visit. When you come to our site, these tiny text files get stored on your device. They help us remember things like your preferences and settings so you don't have to start fresh every time.

Most websites use them. We do too. But we're selective about what we track and why.

Types of Tracking We Use

Different cookies serve different purposes. Here's what you'll find on our site and what each type actually does for you.

Essential Cookies

These keep the site functional. Without them, you can't access secure areas or use basic features. They don't track your browsing habits – they just make sure things work.

We need these to run the site properly, so they're always active when you're here.

Functional Cookies

These remember your choices. Language preferences, region settings, customization options – that sort of thing. They make your experience smoother by storing what you've told us you want.

The site works without them, but you'd have to reset your preferences each visit.

Analytical Cookies

We use these to understand how people interact with our content. Which pages get read? Where do visitors spend time? What resources are most helpful?

This data helps us improve our educational content and make sure we're creating material that actually serves your needs.

Marketing Cookies

These track your journey across our site to understand what topics interest you. They help us show relevant content and measure whether our outreach efforts are effective.

You can opt out of these while still accessing all our educational resources.

Specific Technologies We Deploy

Beyond standard cookies, we use a few other tracking methods to enhance how the site functions.

Local Storage

This keeps larger amounts of data on your device. We use it for storing your progress through learning materials and saving your customization settings. Unlike cookies, this data doesn't automatically send to our servers with every request.

Session Storage

Temporary by nature – this clears when you close your browser tab. We use it for things like maintaining your place in multi-page forms or keeping track of which resources you've viewed during a single session.

Pixel Tags

Small invisible images that help us track email opens and specific page interactions. When you load a page with a pixel, it sends us confirmation that the content was viewed. Nothing personal gets transmitted – just a simple "yes, this loaded."

Why This Matters for Your Experience

Tracking isn't just about collecting data. Here's what it actually enables on mindfulmentis.com.

  • We remember where you left off in educational content, so you can pick up exactly where you stopped
  • Your customized dashboard stays configured the way you set it up
  • We can identify which budget strategies resonate most with our Taiwan market audience
  • Security features work properly to protect your account information
  • Page load times improve because we can cache resources your browser uses frequently
  • We spot technical issues faster when we see patterns in how the site performs across different devices

How Long We Keep This Data

Different cookies have different lifespans. Some disappear the moment you close your browser. Others stick around longer.

Cookie Type Duration Purpose
Session Cookies Until browser closes Maintain active browsing session
Preference Cookies 12 months Remember your settings and choices
Analytics Cookies 24 months Track usage patterns and improvements
Marketing Cookies 6 months Measure campaign effectiveness

We regularly review stored data and delete anything we no longer need. If you delete cookies from your browser, that removes them immediately regardless of expiration dates.

What Happens When You Block Cookies

Disabling cookies is your right. But it affects how the site works.

If you block all cookies, you won't be able to log into your account or save any progress through our learning materials. Essential site functions require at least session cookies to operate.

Blocking only marketing or analytics cookies keeps full functionality intact. You'll still access all educational content, your dashboard will work, and you can track your progress through budget strategy courses.

The tradeoff? We lose visibility into what's working and what isn't, which makes it harder to improve the experience for everyone.

Third-Party Services

Some tracking comes from external tools we've integrated. Analytics platforms, content delivery networks, and payment processors all use their own cookies when you interact with features they power.

We vet these partners carefully, but they operate under their own privacy policies. When you use features powered by third-party services, their tracking applies alongside ours.

  • Analytics providers help us understand site performance and user behavior patterns
  • Content delivery networks improve load times by serving resources from servers closer to you
  • Payment processors handle transaction security when you purchase educational materials
  • Email service providers track delivery and engagement with our communications

We revise this document when our tracking practices change. The date at the top tells you when we last made updates.

Major changes get announced through email to active users. Minor clarifications or technical updates happen without notification. We recommend checking back periodically if you want to stay current on our practices.
