Cookie Policy
Effective date: 1 January 2025
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit. They help the site remember your preferences and understand how you interact with its pages. Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or install software.
Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags. This policy covers all such technologies we use on mhcai.org.
2. Who sets cookies on this site?
Cookies on mhcai.org are set either by us (Mindacks Global Pvt Ltd, "first-party cookies") or by third-party services we use to operate and improve the site ("third-party cookies"). We only work with third parties whose use of cookies is compatible with this policy.
3. Categories of cookies we use
3.1 Strictly necessary cookies
These are essential for the website to function. They enable core features such as account login, form security (CSRF protection), and page navigation. You cannot opt out of strictly necessary cookies — disabling them would break the site.
3.2 Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use mhcai.org — which pages are visited most, where people navigate from, and how long they stay. We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) for this purpose. The data is aggregated and anonymous; it does not identify you personally.
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on or by managing your preferences through our cookie banner.
3.3 Preference cookies
Preference cookies remember choices you have made — such as your cookie consent decision or display settings — so we do not need to ask again on your next visit.
3.4 Marketing / targeting cookies (not currently used)
We do not currently use marketing or advertising cookies. If we introduce them in future, we will update this policy and request your consent in advance.
