1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work correctly, to remember your preferences, and to provide basic usage information to the site owner.
Cookies set by the website you are visiting are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by other parties (such as payment providers) are called third-party cookies.
Cookies can be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (stored until they expire or you delete them).
2. Cookies We Use
We use a minimal number of cookies β only those strictly necessary for the Platform to function or to remember a preference you have explicitly set.
Strictly Necessary Cookies

3. Third-Party Cookies
When you initiate a payment (i.e. when you click "Get Lifetime Access" and are redirected to Stripe Checkout), Stripe may set cookies on your device to facilitate secure payment processing, fraud prevention, and to maintain the state of your checkout session. These cookies are governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy.
We do not control Stripe's cookies, but they are only active when you actively initiate a payment flow. Stripe cookies are not present during normal platform browsing.
4. What We Don't Use
We are committed to a privacy-respecting experience. Mindemy does not use:
- Google Analytics or any other third-party analytics service
- Facebook Pixel or any social media tracking cookies
- Advertising or remarketing cookies
- Fingerprinting or cross-site tracking technologies
- Any cookies that profile you for commercial advertising purposes
Our internal analytics (page views, login history) are stored in our own database and are not shared with any advertising platform. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
5. Managing Your Cookies
You can control and manage cookies in your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to:
- View which cookies are stored and delete them individually or in bulk.
- Block cookies from specific websites.
- Block all third-party cookies.
- Set your browser to notify you when a website attempts to set a cookie.
Please be aware that deleting or blocking strictly necessary cookies (such as sessionid and csrftoken) will prevent you from logging in or using form-based features of the Platform.
