What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit websites. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help websites remember your preferences and improve functionality. We also use similar technologies like web beacons and local storage to enhance your browsing experience.

At Mind Network Evolve, we use these technologies to understand how visitors interact with our financial planning resources, remember your preferences, and provide personalized content that matches your strategic planning interests.

Most modern browsers automatically accept cookies, but you have complete control over these settings. You can modify or disable them entirely through your browser preferences, though some website features may not function optimally without certain cookies.

Types of Tracking We Use

How Tracking Enhances Your Experience

When you allow our tracking technologies, we can provide several improvements to your visit:

• Remember your preferred content topics and suggest relevant financial planning articles
• Save your progress in our educational modules and planning worksheets
• Customize our content recommendations based on your strategic planning interests
• Provide faster loading times by remembering your device and connection preferences
• Offer more relevant examples and case studies in our financial planning resources
• Enable our contact forms to remember your information for future inquiries
• Track which educational materials are most helpful to improve our content library

Without these technologies, each visit starts fresh with no memory of your preferences or interests, which means you'll need to reconfigure settings and may see less relevant content recommendations.

Data Retention and Control

We retain cookie data for varying periods depending on their purpose:

• Session cookies: Deleted when you close your browser
• Functional cookies: Stored for 30-90 days to remember your preferences
• Analytical cookies: Retained for up to 2 years to identify long-term trends in user behavior
• Marketing cookies: Typically stored for 30-365 days depending on campaign duration

You maintain complete control over your cookie preferences. You can change your mind at any time by returning to this page and updating your choices, or by adjusting your browser settings directly.

We regularly review and delete outdated tracking data as part of our data privacy practices. Any personal information collected through cookies is handled according to our comprehensive privacy policy.

Third-Party Services

Some cookies on our website come from third-party services we use to enhance functionality:

• Analytics Services: Help us understand website usage patterns and improve user experience
• Content Delivery Networks: Ensure fast loading times for our financial planning resources
• Social Media Plugins: Enable sharing of our educational content (when present)
• Customer Support Tools: Power our contact forms and inquiry management systems

Each third-party service has its own privacy policy governing how they handle data. We carefully evaluate all third-party integrations to ensure they meet our privacy standards and provide genuine value to our visitors.

When you decline non-essential cookies through our controls above, we disable most third-party tracking while maintaining essential functionality for website operation and security.
