Cookie Policy

What are cookies?

We may collect information using “cookies”. Cookies are small data files stored on the hard drive of your computer or mobile device by a website. We may use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer or mobile device until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience when using Mintago (“we”, “us”, “our”).

We use two broad categories of cookies:

First party cookies served directly by us to your computer or mobile device; and third party cookies, which are served by our partners or service providers.

Cookies we use

Our service uses the following types of cookies for the purposes set out below:

Essential cookies

These cookies are essential to provide you with services available through our service and to enable you to use some of its features. For example, they allow you to log in to secure areas of our service and help the content of the pages you request to load quickly. Without these cookies, the services that you have asked for cannot be provided, and we only use these cookies to provide you with those services.

Functionality cookies

These cookies allow our service to remember choices you make when you use our service, such as remembering your language preferences, remembering your login details and remembering the changes you make to other parts of our service which you can customise. The purpose of these cookies is to provide you with a more personal experience and to avoid you having to re-enter your preferences every time you visit our service.

Analytics and Performance cookies

These cookies are used to collect information about traffic to our service and how users use our service. The information gathered via these cookies does not “directly” identify any individual visitor. However, it may render such visitors “indirectly identifiable”. This is because the information collected is typically linked to a pseudonymous identifier associated with the device you use to access our service. The information collected is aggregated and anonymous. It includes the number of visitors to our service, the websites that referred them to our service, the pages they visited on our service, what time of day they visited our service, whether they have visited our service before, and other similar information. We use this information to help operate our service more efficiently, to gather broad demographic information and to monitor the level of activity on our service.

[We use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics uses its own cookies. It is only used to improve how our service works. You can find out more information about Google Analytics cookies here: https://developers.google.com/analytics/resources/concepts/gaConceptsCookies]

You can find out more about how Google protects your data here: www.google.com/analytics/learn/privacy.html.

We may occasionally run targeted advertisement campaigns through social media networks such as Facebook and LinkedIn. Here we will collect cookies that track users from the social media network to the site and then track their interaction with the site. More information for each can be found below:

Facebook pixel – please find further information here

LinkedIn Insight Tag – please find further information here

Disabling cookies

You can typically remove or reject cookies via your browser settings. In order to do this, follow the instructions provided by your browser (usually located within the “settings”, “help” “tools” or “edit” facility). Many browsers are set to accept cookies until you change your settings.

If you do not accept our cookies, you may experience some inconvenience in your use of our service. For example, we may not be able to recognise your computer or mobile device and you may need to log in every time you visit our service.
