This Cookie Policy explains how Gentlemindworks.com (“we”, “us”, “our” or the “Site”) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and the choices you have regarding their use.
This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and personalized experiences.
Cookies may be:
- Session cookies: deleted when you close your browser
- Persistent cookies: remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them
Cookies may be placed by:
- The website you are visiting (“first-party cookies”)
- Other websites or services that provide content or functionality on the site (“third-party cookies”)
2. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to:
- Ensure the Site functions properly
- Remember your preferences (such as language and display settings)
- Analyze how visitors use the Site so we can improve content and structure
- Support security and performance
- Display ads, including personalized and non-personalized advertisements, and measure their effectiveness
3. Types of Cookies We Use
3.1. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation of the Site. They allow you to navigate the website and use its features. Without these cookies, certain services you request may not be provided.
Examples include:
- Cookies that remember your cookie preferences
- Cookies needed for security and basic functionality
Because these cookies are strictly necessary, they cannot be disabled through our Site. You can still block them in your browser settings, but parts of the Site may not work properly.
3.2. Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use the Site, such as:
- Which pages are visited most often
- How long visitors stay on certain pages
- Whether users experience errors or broken links
We use this information to understand how our content about personal filing and document organization is used and to improve the Site.
These cookies generally do not identify you personally. However, in some cases, they may be associated with your IP address or device.
3.3. Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make, such as:
- Your language preferences
- Certain settings related to how content is displayed
They are intended to provide a more personalized and convenient experience.
3.4. Advertising and Targeting Cookies
We may use advertising cookies to:
- Show ads that are more relevant to your interests
- Limit how many times you see a particular ad
- Measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns
These cookies may be set by us or by third-party advertising partners (such as Google AdSense) and may be used to build a profile of your interests based on your browsing behavior.
Even if you opt out of personalized advertising, you may still see ads—they will simply be less tailored to you.
4. Google AdSense and Third-Party Cookies
We use Google AdSense and possibly other third-party advertising partners to display ads on Gentlemindworks.com.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this and/or other websites.
- Google’s use of the Advertising Cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
You can learn more about how Google uses data from sites that use its services by visiting Google’s policies (for example, “How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services”).
4.1. Opting Out of Personalized Ads
You can opt out of personalized ads from Google by visiting:
- Google Ads Settings (your Google account ad settings), and/or
- Industry-wide opt-out pages such as www.aboutads.info/choices (for some regions)
Please note: opting out of personalized ads does not mean you will no longer see ads. You will still see generic ads that are not based on your interests.
5. Other Third-Party Tools
We may use other third-party services that also set cookies, for example:
- Analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics or similar) to understand how users interact with the Site
- Embedded content (e.g., videos, social media widgets, external tools)
These third parties may use their own cookies and have their own privacy and cookie policies. We do not control these cookies and recommend that you review the policies of any third-party services you interact with.
