Cookie Policy
Last updated: January 15, 2026. This policy explains what cookies and local storage items are used on minglemintfeedbrst.com, why they are used, and how you can control them.
1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you load web pages. Local storage (localStorage) is a modern web standard that allows websites to store small pieces of configuration data directly in your browser without transmitting them back and forth to a web server on every page request.
We use these technologies to ensure our website functions reliably, retains your consent preferences, and maintains responsive UI performance.
2. Categories of Cookies Used
| Cookie / Key Name | Category | Purpose | Duration | Third-Party? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| minglemint_cookie_choice | Essential / Functional | Stores your cookie consent preference (Accept / Reject / Preferences) so the banner is not displayed again. | Persistent (localStorage) | No (First-party) |
| __cf_bm / __cflb | Essential Security | Used by content delivery networks to manage bot protection, rate limiting, and malicious traffic mitigation. | Session to 30 minutes | Cloudflare Infrastructure |
| _ga_anon (Optional) | Aggregated Analytics | Measures anonymous aggregate page visits and reading patterns across European art topics. | Up to 12 months | No / Privacy-first |
3. Detailed Purpose of Active Cookies
Essential Cookies: These items are technically necessary for the platform to function securely. They enable basic features like secure HTTPS delivery, server load balancing, and anti-abuse safeguards. Essential cookies cannot be switched off in our systems because the website cannot function properly without them.
Functional & Preference Storage: We use browser localStorage to remember your cookie consent decisions. This prevents the banner from reappearing on every subsequent page you visit during your session.
Analytical Cookies (Optional): If you choose "Accept All," aggregated analytics help us understand which European art guides are most useful to visitors. We do not use cross-site tracking cookies or commercial ad retargeting pixels.
4. Managing and Disabling Cookies in Your Browser
You have full control over cookie settings through your web browser preferences. Most modern browsers allow you to:
• View all stored cookies and local storage items on a site-by-site basis.
• Block third-party tracking cookies by default.
• Clear all stored cookies upon closing your browser window.
• Browse in Private or Incognito mode to prevent persistent data retention.
