Cookies Policy
Scope
This policy is addressed to all the visitors of the MIND websites including the CRM system dedicated to provide support and maintenance services to our customers.
Cookies Policy in MIND
A “cookie” is a small piece of information/data created and sent by a web page server to be stored on your computer’s hard drive, so it can be read back later from a browser.
Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (“first party cookies”, for example those used for website analytics) or they may be set by other websites who run content on the page you are viewing (“third party cookies”, for example when a YouTube video is embedded within a page).
When you visit MIND websites, information is stored on your terminal device in the form of a “cookie.” Cookies are small files that are stored on your terminal device and save certain settings and data to exchange with our websites via your browser.
For example, cookies enable us to tailor a website to better match your interests or to store your password so that you do not have to re-enter it every time. As a general rule, we never collect personal data via cookies, unless you have given us your express permission to do so.
If you do not want us to recognize your terminal device, please configure your Internet browser to erase all cookies from your device, to block all cookies or to receive a warning before a cookie is stored. You will find brief instructions on how to do this below.
Please note that certain functions of our website may no longer work, or not correctly work, without cookies.
Managing Cookies by MIND
Note: Not all of the cookies mentioned below will necessarily be used when you browse our website using a mobile terminal device.
Performance Cookies: Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics on our website for the purpose of constantly improving the website and/or detecting errors. For this purpose, Google Analytics anonymously stores and analyzes various kinds of data, including the visited website and the website’s metadata, websites that link to MIND, the time of the visit, and the browser used.
Please click here to prevent Google Analytics from aggregating and analyzing the data collected from your visit to this website. By doing this, you will create a so-called exclusion cookie in your browser. It contains no personal data, but technically enables Google Analytics to permanently recognize your preference.
If you delete this exclusion cookie or if you change your computer or web browser, you will need to create the exclusion cookie again.
Cookies for Marketing Purposes: Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics on our website for the purpose of offering more relevant content to the users, based on their specific interests. They are also used to limit the display frequency of an ad and to measure and control the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They register whether users have visited a website or not, and which contents were used. This information may possibly also be shared with third parties, such as advertisers, for example. These cookies are often linked to the functions of third-party websites. You can block the use of such cookies by creating an opt-out cookie (see the chapter 10.3 “How can I Deactivate Cookies” below).
Cookies for Advertising Purposes: Google AdWords
We use Google AdWords Remarketing, which keeps track of everyone who visits our website and follows these users wherever they go on other websites to show our ads. It could mean that we advertise to previous visitors who haven’t completed a task on our site, for example using the contact form.
This could be in the form of an advertisement on the Google search results page, or a site in the Google Display Network. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on someone’s past visits to the [CLIENT NAME] website. Of course, any data collected will be used by MIND in accordance with our own privacy policy and Google’s privacy policy.
For more details, every user can check Google’s Privacy and terms for advertising here.
In order to opt out of Google’s use of cookies (temporarily or permanently) any visitor should access the Google’s Ads Settings page which is located at https://adssettings.google.com.
How Can I Deactivate Cookies?
In the following section you will find a summary of links that provide detailed information on the deactivation of cookies in commonly used browsers.
To provide website visitors the ability to prevent their data from being used by Google Analytics, Google has developed the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on for the Google analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, dc.js). This add-on for your web browser can be downloaded and installed here.
