Cookie Policy
Last updated: May 12, 2026
This page explains what cookies and similar technologies are used on BestMint and how you can control them. For the broader picture of how we handle data, see our Privacy Policy.
1. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device. Cookies are used to remember information between page loads or visits — preferences, login state, ad measurement, and similar. Similar technologies (local storage, pixel tags, device identifiers) play comparable roles.
2. Cookies we use
| Category | Purpose | Set by |
|---|---|---|
| First-party functional | None at this time. Tools that remember settings use your browser's local storage on your device only; nothing is sent to our servers. | — |
| Analytics | We do not run a first-party analytics tracker. | — |
| Advertising | Serve and measure ads, including personalization where consent is given. Common cookies/identifiers include __gads, __gpi, IDE, and the NID/SOCS family. | Google AdSense |
| Consent | Stores your consent choices so the banner doesn't reappear on every page. | Google Funding Choices (CMP) |
3. Managing your choices
- EEA, UK, Switzerland. A consent banner is shown on your first visit, where you can accept, reject, or manage individual purposes. Use the "Privacy choices" link in the banner footer to change your selection later.
- Ad personalization (any region). You can opt out of personalized advertising by Google across the web at adssettings.google.com.
- Browser controls. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies in their privacy settings. Blocking all cookies will not prevent BestMint from working, but some ads may be less relevant.
4. Third-party cookies
Ads on BestMint are served by Google AdSense. Google uses cookies and similar technologies to serve ads, measure their performance, and — with your consent in regions that require it — personalize them. Google's practices are described at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
5. Changes
If we add new categories of cookies — for example, first-party analytics — we will update this page and reflect the change in the consent banner where required.
