Cookie Policy

Last updated: October 2025

At [novmind.com], we use cookies and similar technologies to improve your browsing experience, analyze site traffic and performance, and deliver relevant advertisements. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, the types we place (and that third parties may place), and how you can manage your preferences.

1) What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) by your web browser when you visit a website. Cookies allow a site to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and help us understand how the site is being used. We also use related technologies such as pixels, tags, SDKs, and local storage (“similar technologies”). Throughout this policy, the term “cookies” includes these similar technologies where appropriate.

2) Why We Use Cookies

• Improve user experience: remember settings and preferences (e.g., language, consent choices).
• Analyze performance: understand how visitors use our pages and features to make improvements.
• Deliver ads: show ads and measure their effectiveness, including interest-based (personalized) advertising.
• Security & reliability: maintain site integrity, prevent fraud, and ensure basic functionality.

3) Types of Cookies We Use

3.1 Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies

These cookies are required for the site to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They enable core features such as page navigation, load balancing, and security. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.

3.2 Analytics (Performance) Cookies

We use analytics tools—such as Google Analytics—to collect information about how visitors use our site (e.g., pages visited, time on page, referring URLs). This information is aggregated and helps us measure performance and improve the site.

3.3 Advertising (Targeting) Cookies

We may display ads served by Google AdSense, Microsoft Advertising, and other advertising partners. These partners may set cookies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on our site and elsewhere. They may also measure ad impressions, clicks, and conversions.

3.4 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable enhanced features and personalization—such as remembering your language selection, display preferences, or previously selected settings. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

4) What Data Do Cookies Collect?

Cookies typically collect non-personal information, including but not limited to:

• Browser type and version, device type, operating system;
• IP address (which may be used for approximate geolocation), unique identifiers;
• Pages viewed, links clicked, time spent on pages, referring and exit pages;
• Ad interactions (impressions, clicks, conversions) to measure performance.

Some advertising or analytics partners may combine cookie-collected data with other information they hold to infer interests or improve their services. Please review their privacy notices for details on their processing practices.

5) Examples of Cookies We/Partners May Use

Note: Cookie names, partners, and durations may change over time as we improve the site and our partners update their technologies.

6) Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by third parties when you visit our site. For example, we use third-party partners for analytics and advertising (including Google AdSense, Google Analytics, and Microsoft Advertising). These third parties may place cookies on your device to deliver ads, measure performance, and build interest profiles in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies. We do not control third-party cookies, and their use is governed by the third party’s terms and policies.

7) Managing Cookies: Your Choices

You have several options to control or disable cookies:

• Browser Settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Refer to your browser’s help section for instructions. Blocking cookies may affect site functionality—especially for essential and functional cookies.
• Device/OS Settings: On some devices, you can limit ad tracking through your operating system privacy settings.
• Ad Preferences: Some ad networks provide tools to opt out of interest-based advertising or reset your advertising ID. Opting out will not remove ads, but ads may be less relevant.
• Consent Banner/Tool (if available): Where provided on our site, you can manage granular preferences (enable/disable non-essential cookies) via our cookie consent banner or settings module.

Please note that disabling certain cookies may impact website performance and your ability to use some features.

8) Consent and Legal Basis

For visitors in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, and jurisdictions with similar requirements, we rely on your consent to set non-essential cookies (e.g., analytics and advertising). Essential cookies are placed based on our legitimate interests in providing a secure, functional website.

Where legally required, we display a cookie consent banner or tool that allows you to accept or manage non-essential cookie categories. You can change your consent preferences at any time (if a management tool is available) or by clearing cookies in your browser.

9) International Compliance

Our cookie practices are designed to align with applicable laws and standards, including the GDPR (EU/UK), ePrivacy guidance (where applicable), and other international frameworks. We also follow platform-specific policies (e.g., Google’s policies for Analytics and AdSense) and relevant self-regulatory guidelines for online advertising and measurement.

10) Do Not Track (DNT)

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting. There is no universally accepted standard for DNT signals, and our site may not respond to them. You can use the cookie controls described above to manage tracking preferences.

11) Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, or legal requirements. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. Your continued use of the site signifies acceptance of the revised policy.
