Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how mindinthemachine.com ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website and use our AI-powered writing and image-generation tools. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently, and to provide information to the site operator. We also use related technologies such as browser local storage, which stores small amounts of data in your browser rather than sending it to a server.

2. How We Use Cookies

mindinthemachine.com keeps its use of cookies deliberately minimal. We use them to keep you signed in, to protect requests against cross-site forgery, to remember your interface preferences (such as light or dark mode), and to understand how the platform is used so we can improve it. We do not use cookies for cross-site advertising, and we do not sell the information they collect.

3. Categories We Set

Strictly necessary

Required for the platform to function. These keep your session active after you sign in, protect form submissions with a CSRF token, and support core security. The Service cannot be provided without them, so they cannot be switched off through our interface.

Functional

Remember choices you make to improve your experience, such as your light or dark theme preference. These are stored in your browser's local storage and are not transmitted for tracking purposes.

Analytics

Help us understand which pages and tools are used and how the platform performs, in aggregate, so we can improve it. We use privacy-respecting analytics and do not use this data to build advertising profiles.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some features rely on third parties that may set their own cookies, including our payment provider (PayPal) during checkout and the identity providers you choose for federated sign-in (Google, LinkedIn, GitHub, or Microsoft). These cookies are governed by those providers' own policies. We do not control them and do not receive the information they collect beyond what is needed to complete the action you requested.

5. Managing Cookies

Most browsers let you view, manage, block, and delete cookies through their settings. You can also clear your browser's local storage. Because our strictly necessary cookies are required to sign in and use the tools, blocking them will prevent core parts of the platform from working.

For guidance specific to your browser, see its help documentation (for example, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge).

6. Do Not Sell My Information

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. There is nothing to opt out of in that respect. If you have questions about how your information is handled, see our Privacy Policy or contact us using the details below.
