5. What are Cookies and how do we use them?

Mindyournutrition not only loves nutrition but is also fond of cookies, so we are here with some digital and functional cookies.

A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer’s hard drive. Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyse web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.
These cookies help us to give you the best website experience; such as monitoring whether you view our content on your mobile, desktop, or tablet, so we can display the website properly.

We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyse data about web page traffic and improve our website to tailor it to customer needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system.

We use Google Analytics and these cookies help us to better understand what our MyN community desires the most in terms of health articles, wellness topics, recipes and other information of related interest at a particular moment. This helps us to bring new ideas and can better plan what content to produce and promote. Google Analytics tracks website usage and provides us with information such as referring websites and user actions on the site. It may capture your IP address, but no other personal information is captured and we do not collect your individual data for our Analytics. We collect anonymised data such as your region and how long you have visited the website.

You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. However, this may prevent you from taking the full advantage of our website.

Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.

If you’d rather not have any cookies at all, be sure to arrange this yourself within your browser settings. You can turn off our cookies and JavaScript. Please note that our website does not work optimally if you do so. How to turn off or delete cookies is explained by your browser. As a service, we provide you with the hyperlinks to every browser we know: Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Edge, Safari (iOS), Safari (macOS).
