This policy describes how Mind Health AI uses cookies on https://www.mindhealthai.com (the “Site”). By using the Site, you agree that we can use the cookies described in this Cookie Policy. You can stop cookies by changing the settings in your browser (more information on how to do this is provided below).
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small pieces of data, stored in text files, that are stored on your computer or other device when websites are loaded in a browser. They are widely used to “remember” you and your preferences, either for a single visit (through a “session cookie”) or for multiple repeat visits (using a “persistent cookie”). They ensure a consistent and efficient experience for visitors, and perform essential functions such as allowing users to register and remain logged in. Cookies may be set by the site that you are visiting (known as “first party cookies”), or by third parties, such as those who serve content or provide advertising or analytics services on the website (“third party cookies”).
Both websites and HTML emails may also contain other tracking technologies such as “web beacons” or “pixels.” These are typically small transparent images that provide us with statistics, for similar purposes as cookies. They are often used in conjunction with cookies, though they are not stored on your computer in the same way. As a result, if you disable cookies, web beacons may still load, but their functionality will be restricted.
2. How we use cookies
We use cookies for a number of different purposes. Some cookies are necessary for technical reasons; some enable a personalized experience for both visitors and registered users; and some allow the display of advertising from selected third party networks. Some of these cookies may be set when a page is loaded, or when a visitor takes a particular action (clicking the “like” or “follow” button on a post, for example).
Many of the cookies are set whenever you visit one of our websites, irrespective of whether you have an account.
Marketing cookies are stored to help profile site visitors, allowing them to receive relevant messaging and content particular to them, and raising awareness around Mind Health AI. Content delivery may be triggered off the bag of cookie data gathered. In addition, these cookies will allow Mind Health AI to gauge the engagement level of site visitors with site content, making it easier for this to be optimized and therefore enhance the user experience.
For more information on the choices you have about the cookies we use, please see the Controlling Cookies section below.
