Cookie Policy
Last updated: 3 July 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how MindVortex ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the website mindvortex.life. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function properly, improve user experience, and provide information to website operators. Cookies may be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remaining on your device for a defined period or until manually deleted).
Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags. Where this policy refers to "cookies," we include these related technologies unless otherwise specified.
2. How We Use Cookies
MindVortex uses cookies for the following purposes:
- Essential cookies: Required for basic website functionality, including cookie consent preference storage and security protections. These cookies cannot be disabled without affecting site operation.
- Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting anonymous usage data such as pages visited, time on site, and navigation paths. These cookies are only activated with your consent.
- Functional cookies: Remember your preferences and settings to provide a more personalised experience. These may include menu state or display preferences stored locally.
We do not use cookies for targeted advertising or cross-site tracking. MindVortex does not sell cookie-derived data to third parties.
3. Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
- mv_cookie_consent — Stores your cookie consent preference (accepted, rejected, or customised). Stored in local storage. Duration: persistent until cleared.
Analytics Cookies (Consent Required)
If you accept analytics cookies through our cookie banner, we may deploy privacy-respecting analytics tools that collect aggregated, anonymised usage statistics. No personally identifiable information is collected through analytics cookies. Analytics data is processed within Canada where possible.
4. Cookie Consent
When you first visit mindvortex.life, a cookie banner appears offering three choices: Accept, Reject, or Customise. Your selection is stored locally and the banner will not reappear unless you clear your browser storage.
- Accept: Enables all cookie categories including analytics.
- Reject: Only essential cookies are used. Analytics and non-essential tracking are disabled.
- Customise: Opens a panel where you can toggle individual cookie categories. Essential cookies cannot be disabled. Save your preferences to apply your selection.
Consent is collected in accordance with PIPEDA principles. You may change your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for mindvortex.life, which will cause the cookie banner to reappear on your next visit.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Our website loads fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com). Google may set cookies or collect usage data in accordance with its own privacy policy. We use Google Fonts to deliver the Sora and Work Sans typefaces that define the MindVortex visual identity. If you prefer to avoid third-party font loading, you may use browser extensions or system font overrides.
We do not embed third-party advertising networks, social media tracking pixels, or cross-site analytics platforms on mindvortex.life.
6. Managing Cookies in Your Browser
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, or delete existing cookies. Be aware that blocking essential cookies may prevent certain website features from functioning correctly, including the persistence of your cookie consent choice.
Browser-specific cookie management instructions are available in your browser's help documentation. Common browsers include Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.
7. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. There is currently no industry standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. MindVortex does not alter its data collection practices in response to DNT signals, but our default analytics practice requires explicit consent through the cookie banner regardless of DNT settings.
8. Cookie Retention Periods
Essential cookies and local storage entries persist until you clear your browser data or until their defined expiration period elapses. Consent preferences stored via the cookie banner remain active indefinitely until you change them or clear site data. Analytics cookies, when enabled, typically expire after thirteen months in accordance with common privacy practice, after which they are automatically refreshed only if you have previously consented.
We periodically review the cookies deployed on mindvortex.life to ensure each serves a documented purpose and that retention periods remain proportionate to operational needs. Obsolete cookies are removed during scheduled website maintenance.
9. Relationship to Platform Services
This Cookie Policy applies to the mindvortex.life public website. MindVortex cognitive AI platform deployments operated under separate service agreements may use additional cookies, session tokens, or authentication mechanisms governed by the applicable client agreement and privacy documentation. Platform-specific cookie practices are documented in each deployment's operator manual and data processing agreement.
If you are a platform operator or end-user within a client deployment, consult your organisation's privacy officer or MindVortex support contact for cookie and tracking information specific to your environment.
10. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our practices. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates the most recent revision. Material changes will be communicated through a notice on our website.
