1. Introduction
This cookie policy explains how mypinio GmbH ("mypinio", "we", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on mypinio.com. We keep our cookie usage minimal and transparent. We do not use any third-party tracking tools such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel, or similar services.
2. What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. Cookies allow the website to recognize your device and store certain information about your preferences or past actions.
3. Our cookie consent system
When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner is displayed. Non-essential cookies are disabled by default and will only be set after you provide explicit consent. You can change your preferences at any time via the cookie banner or through the platform settings.
Your consent decision is stored locally in your browser (localStorage) under the key mypinio_cookie_consent.
4. Cookie categories
We use a consent system with four categories:
| Category | Default state | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Always active | Required for the website to function. Includes session management, CSRF protection, and cookie consent storage. Cannot be disabled. |
| Analytics | Disabled | First-party analytics only, used to understand how visitors interact with our platform. No third-party analytics tools are used. |
| Marketing | Disabled | Currently not in use. This category is reserved for potential future consent-based integrations. No marketing cookies are set at this time. |
| Preferences | Disabled | Stores user preferences such as language and theme settings. |
