This Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions, which provide additional information about how we collect, use, protect and manage personal information.

Cookies help websites function effectively and can remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences, settings and interactions with the Website. They may also help us understand how visitors use our Website so that we can improve its performance, functionality and overall user experience.
Some cookies remain on your device only while your browser is open, while others may remain for a specified period or until you delete them.

We aim to use cookies responsibly and, where required by applicable law, obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.
3. Types of Cookies We May Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the Website to operate properly. They may support functions such as Website navigation, security, network management, form submissions and privacy preferences.
Because these cookies are necessary for the operation of the Website, they generally cannot be disabled through our cookie preference tools.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the Website to remember choices or preferences you make and provide enhanced functionality.
For example, they may remember language preferences, display settings or other choices that improve your experience when returning to the Website.
Where required by applicable law, these cookies will only be used with your consent.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Website. They may provide information such as which pages are visited, how long visitors spend on particular pages, how users arrive at the Website and whether they encounter technical issues.
We may use this information in aggregated or statistical form to evaluate Website performance and improve content, navigation and functionality.
Advertising and Marketing Cookies
Where applicable, cookies or similar technologies may be used to understand the effectiveness of our marketing activities and deliver more relevant communications or advertising.
These technologies may help measure campaign performance, understand interactions with advertisements or prevent the same advertisement from being displayed unnecessarily.
Where required, advertising and marketing cookies will only be activated after you provide consent.
4. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies may be placed directly by MagicMinds. These are known as first-party cookies.
Other cookies may be placed by third-party service providers whose technologies or services are integrated into our Website. These are known as third-party cookies.
Depending on the technologies used on the Website, third parties may provide services relating to analytics, website performance, embedded media, social media, advertising, customer communication or other digital functionality.
Third-party cookies and technologies are governed by the privacy and cookie practices of the relevant third parties. We encourage users to review those policies where appropriate.
5. Similar Technologies
In addition to traditional cookies, the Website may use other technologies that perform similar functions, including pixels, tags, scripts, local storage, software development technologies or similar identifiers. For simplicity, references to “cookies” in this Policy may include these technologies where applicable.
These technologies may help us understand Website usage, maintain functionality, measure interactions or support communications and marketing activities.
6. Cookie Duration
Cookies may be classified according to how long they remain on your device.
Session cookies generally remain active only during your browsing session and are deleted or expire after you close your browser.
Persistent cookies may remain on your device after you close your browser and continue to operate until they reach their specified expiry date or are manually deleted.
The duration of individual cookies depends on their purpose and the technology or service provider responsible for them.
7. Your Cookie Choices
When you first visit our Website, you may be presented with a cookie banner or preference tool that allows you to manage certain categories of cookies.
Where required by applicable law, non-essential cookies will not be placed until the necessary consent has been obtained.
Depending on the options available, you may be able to:
accept all cookies;
reject non-essential cookies;
select specific categories of cookies; or
change or withdraw your preferences later.
Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.
8. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
Most internet browsers allow you to view, manage, block or delete cookies through browser settings. You may configure your browser to reject certain cookies, notify you when a cookie is being placed or delete previously stored cookies.
Please note that blocking or deleting certain cookies may affect the functionality, performance or availability of some parts of the Website.
Browser settings and controls vary between providers, so users should refer to their browser's help or privacy settings for specific instructions.
9. Analytics
MagicMinds may use analytics technologies to better understand Website traffic and visitor behavior.
Depending on the analytics services implemented, information collected may include general information about:
pages viewed;
time spent on the Website;
navigation paths;
referring websites or sources;
device and browser types;
approximate geographic information;
Website interactions; and
technical performance.
Where possible and appropriate, such information may be aggregated, pseudonymized or otherwise processed in a manner designed to reduce direct identification of individual users.
10. Embedded Content and External Services
Certain pages on our Website may contain content or functionality provided by third parties, such as videos, maps, social media features, forms or other embedded services.
These third parties may use cookies or similar technologies when you interact with their content. MagicMinds does not control all cookies placed directly by independent third parties.
Your interaction with these services may therefore be subject to the privacy and cookie policies of the respective provider.
11. Cookies and Personal Information
In some circumstances, information collected through cookies or similar technologies may constitute personal information or may become personal information when combined with other data.
Where this occurs, we process such information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection and privacy laws.
We do not use cookies as a means to intentionally collect sensitive personal information unless there is a legitimate purpose and an appropriate legal basis for doing so.
12. International Visitors
MagicMinds may operate across multiple jurisdictions and our Website may be accessible globally.
Cookie and consent requirements can vary by location. Where applicable, we seek to manage cookies in accordance with relevant privacy and data protection requirements, which may include requirements relating to consent, transparency and user choice.
Your rights may therefore differ depending on the country or region from which you access the Website.
13. Do Not Track and Similar Signals
Some browsers and devices provide “Do Not Track” or similar privacy preference signals.
Because there is not always a uniform industry standard governing how websites should respond to every such signal, our Website's response may depend on the technologies implemented and applicable legal requirements.
Where legally required and technically supported, MagicMinds may recognize applicable browser-based privacy preference mechanisms.
14. Changes to This Cookies Policy
We may update this Cookies Policy periodically to reflect changes in the cookies and technologies we use, our Website functionality, our business practices or applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
Any revised version will be published on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date.
