Cookies Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how the Future Minds website uses cookies and similar technologies. By continuing to browse this website, you agree to the use of cookies as described below, unless you adjust your settings via the cookie banner or your browser.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They enable the site to remember your actions and preferences (such as language, login, or cookie choices) over a period of time.
Types of cookies we use
On the Future Minds website, we use the following types of cookies:
- Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the correct functioning of the website and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences or navigating between pages. Some of these cookies are set by our content management system (Drupal) to manage basic site operations and security. - Analytics cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website, so we can improve its content and usability. For this purpose, we use Google Analytics, which collects information such as the pages you visit, the time spent on the site, and the type of device and browser used. The data is processed in an aggregated and anonymous form, and we do not use analytics cookies to identify you personally.
Use of Klaro for consent management
We use a consent management tool (Klaro) to display the cookie banner and to manage your cookie preferences. Klaro may set its own cookie(s) to remember whether you have given or withdrawn consent for specific services (such as Google Analytics). These cookies ensure that your choices are respected during your visit and on future visits.
Managing your cookie preferences
When you first visit the website, you are presented with a cookie banner that allows you to:
- Accept all cookies.
- Reject non‑essential cookies.
- Customise your choices (for example, enabling or disabling analytics cookies).
You can change your preferences at any time by revisiting the cookie settings link or banner on the website (if available) or by adjusting your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Please note that blocking certain cookies may affect the functionality and performance of the site.
Google Analytics
Google Analytics is provided by Google LLC and may process data outside the European Economic Area. IP addresses can be anonymised where configured accordingly. The information generated by Google Analytics cookies is used only to analyse website traffic and to compile aggregated statistics that help us improve the project’s communication and outreach. We do not use Google Analytics for advertising or profiling.
For more information on how Google processes data, you can consult Google’s own privacy and cookie information on their website.
Duration of cookies
Cookies may be:
- Session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them.
We aim to use the shortest retention period compatible with the intended purpose of each cookie, particularly for analytics cookies.
Updates to this Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in our use of cookies, legal requirements, or technical developments. Any changes will be posted on this page, and, where appropriate, highlighted through the cookie banner or other notices on the website.
