Cookie Policy

Last updated: January 16, 2026

1. What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files (or similar technologies like pixels, web beacons, local storage, or SDKs) that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, mobile) when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognize your device, remember preferences, and collect information about your browsing behavior to improve functionality, security, analytics, and personalized experiences.

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies ("cookies") on our website mint.io to make it work properly and to enhance your experience.

2. Why do we use cookies?

Cookies help us:

  • Ensure the website functions correctly (e.g., keeping you logged in, processing secure payments).
  • Remember your preferences (e.g., language, settings).
  • Understand how visitors use our site to improve it (analytics).
  • Provide relevant advertising and content based on your interests.
  • Detect and prevent fraud or security issues.

We do not sell any personal data collected via cookies to third parties.

3. What types of cookies do we use?

We categorize cookies as follows. Strictly necessary cookies are always active as they are essential for the basic operation of the site. All other categories require your explicit consent before being placed.

(a) Strictly Necessary Cookies

These are required for the website to function and to provide the service you request (e.g., navigating pages, logging in, completing transactions, fraud prevention during payments, basic security). They do not require consent under ePrivacy rules. They are typically first-party and session-based or short-duration.

  • Purpose: Site security, authentication, load balancing, regulatory compliance for payments.
  • No advertising or profiling use.

(b) Functional / Preference Cookies

These remember choices you make (e.g., language, region, dark mode) to provide a more personalized experience without needing to re-enter information.

  • Purpose: Improve usability and convenience.
  • Consent required.

(c) Performance / Analytics Cookies

These collect anonymous or aggregated information about how visitors use the site (e.g., pages visited, time spent, errors encountered) to help us understand performance and improve content.

  • Purpose: Site optimization, visitor statistics (often using tools like Google Analytics).
  • Consent required. (We configure analytics to minimize personal data where possible, e.g., IP anonymization.)

(d) Advertising / Marketing Cookies

These track your browsing behavior across sites to show personalized ads, measure ad effectiveness, and enable retargeting. They may be set by us or third-party ad networks/partners.

  • Purpose: Relevant advertising, sharing insights with advertisers or partners.
  • Consent required.

We only place non-essential cookies (Functional, Analytics, Advertising) after you give explicit, informed consent via our cookie banner or settings page.

Consent is:

  • Freely given (no "cookie walls" blocking access if you refuse non-essential cookies).
  • Specific and granular (you can choose categories individually).
  • Based on affirmative action (e.g., clicking "Accept" or selecting preferences — no pre-ticked boxes).

Strictly necessary cookies are used without consent.

You can manage or withdraw consent at any time — as easily as giving it — by:

  • Visiting our [Cookie Settings] page.
  • Adjusting settings in your browser (see below).

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal. Refusing non-essential cookies will not prevent access to core site features.

5. How to control cookies via your browser

  • See what cookies are stored and delete them.
  • Block cookies from specific sites or all third-party cookies.
