What type of cookies do we use?

Session Cookies

We use a session cookie when users login.  When you first login to https://www.mindmappro.com/ you provide your username (email address) and password.  For security reasons we don’t want to use this information for each new page you look at.  To avoid this we use a session cookie.   A session cookie let’s us know you have logged in with valid credentials, and ensures that you only view / edit data which is valid for your account.

Google Cookies

We also use Google cookies for tracking analytics and users.  User details are anonymised.  I.e. Google analytics does not let us know the names of individual users.  We use analytics so that we can monitor and improve the service we provide.  For example, if certain pages are consistently providing problems for users, this will be highlighted and we can improve the user interface to provide a better service.

WE DON’T USE COOKIES FOR ADVERTISING
