Cookie Policy

1Introduction

1.1This Cookie Policy explains which Cookies and Similar Technologies are used on the Site, why, and how Visitors can control them. The Site is operated by Mine Marketing LTD, an Israeli company whose registered address is 28 HaArba'a St., Tel Aviv-Yafo 6473925, Israel (“Mine Marketing”).

1.2In summary: the Site sets no Cookies, runs no analytics or advertising tags and does not track Visitors. It keeps one strictly necessary item in browser session storage, which holds no Personal Data. Its pages load fonts and software libraries from the Content Hosts (Section 7).

1.3This policy covers the Site only. The websites that Mine Marketing operates in search arbitrage, and AdsBuzz at ads.buzz, have their own notices on cookies and consent.

1.4This policy is to be read with the Privacy Policy, which explains how Personal Data is handled, and the Terms & Conditions.

2Definitions

2.1In this policy:

Cookie

A small text file that a website places on a device through the browser and that the browser sends back to that website, or to a third party, on later requests.

Content Hosts

Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com) and the jsDelivr content delivery network, from which the Site loads its fonts and animation libraries (GSAP, Lenis and Three.js).

Form Service

FormSubmit (formsubmit.co), the service that receives submissions of the Site’s contact form and delivers them to Mine Marketing by email.

Personal Data

Any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual, including “personal information” as defined in the data-protection laws that apply.

Request Data

The technical data that a browser sends with every request for a page or file: the IP address, the date and time, the page or file requested, the browser type and version, the operating system, the language and the referring page. A general location may be inferable from the IP address.

Similar Technologies

Any other means of storing information on, or reading information from, a device, including local storage, session storage, pixels, tags, scripts and software development kits.

Site

The website at https://mine-marketing.com, including all of its pages and the policies published on it.

Visitor

Any individual who accesses or uses the Site or makes an Enquiry, as defined in the Terms & Conditions.

3Cookies and Similar Technologies explained

3.1Cookies may be set by the website visited (“first-party”) or by another domain whose content appears on it (“third-party”). Session cookies are deleted when the browser closes; persistent cookies remain until they expire or are deleted.

3.2Local storage and session storage let a website keep information in the browser. Local storage persists until it is deleted; session storage lasts only until the tab or window is closed.

3.3Pixels (web beacons) are tiny images or scripts that report a page view or action to a third party; software development kits (“SDKs”) do the same in apps.

3.4Fingerprinting means combining characteristics of a device or browser to recognise it without storing anything on it. The Site does not use fingerprinting.

4Legal framework

4.1In the European Economic Area, storing or reading information on a device requires the user’s prior consent under the EU ePrivacy Directive and the national laws that implement it, unless the storage is strictly necessary to provide a service the user has requested. The UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (“PECR”) apply the same rule in the United Kingdom. In Switzerland, the telecommunications legislation and the Federal Act on Data Protection (“FADP”) require users to be informed about such technologies and how to refuse them.

4.2Where information obtained through such technologies is Personal Data, its processing is also governed by the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, the FADP and Israel’s Protection of Privacy Law, 5741-1981, as amended (including by Amendment No. 13), with its regulations.

4.3In the United States, the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, and other state comprehensive privacy laws, give residents rights to opt out of the sale or sharing of Personal Data and of targeted advertising, including through browser signals such as Global Privacy Control (Section 10).

4.4Mine Marketing applies the strictest of these standards to the Site as a whole, wherever a Visitor is located.

5Categories of technology

5.1Cookies and Similar Technologies are commonly grouped into four categories. The table shows which are used on the Site today.

6Technologies used on the Site

6.1This is the complete list of Cookies and Similar Technologies used on the Site.

6.2Mine Marketing treats this item as strictly necessary, consistent with the guidance of European data protection authorities on session-limited user-interface settings, because it is limited to the browser session, holds no Personal Data and serves only to avoid repeating a full-screen sequence that delays access to the content the Visitor has requested. If session storage is blocked, the Site works normally and the full opening animation plays each time the home page is opened.

7Third-party requests

7.1When a page of the Site loads, the Visitor’s browser requests files from the services below. Each necessarily receives the Visitor’s Request Data, including the IP address, in order to deliver them. The Site sets no Cookies through any of them and sends them no other information about the Visitor.

7.2The Privacy Policy explains the role of each provider, including international transfers.

8What the Site does not use

8.1The Site does not use, and does not allow third parties to place through its pages:

1. any Cookie;
2. analytics, heat-mapping or session-recording tools;
3. advertising, retargeting or conversion pixels, or social-media pixels, plug-ins or embedded feeds;
4. any technology that tracks Visitors across websites or builds profiles of them; or
5. device or browser fingerprinting.

8.2Mine Marketing does not sell Personal Data collected through the Site and does not share it for cross-context behavioural or targeted advertising.

9Consent

9.1Because the only technology used on the Site is one strictly necessary item, consent is not required under the ePrivacy rules or PECR, and no consent banner is shown.

9.2Before any technology that is not strictly necessary is added to the Site, Mine Marketing will:

1. list it in this policy, with its provider, purpose, data and duration;
2. show a consent tool on the Visitor’s first visit, with “Accept” and “Reject” options of equal prominence on its first layer;
3. offer granular choices by category, with no category other than strictly necessary pre-selected;
4. not load or run any such technology until the Visitor has consented to its category;
5. keep a record of each choice, without identifying the Visitor, for as long as the choice applies and for 24 months after it ends, to demonstrate compliance;
6. ask again no later than six months after a choice is made, or sooner if the technologies listed change materially; and
7. provide a persistent “Cookie settings” link in the footer of every page, through which consent can be withdrawn or changed at any time, as easily as it was given.

9.3Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any use made before withdrawal.

10Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

10.1Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) is a browser signal by which a Visitor asks websites not to sell or share their Personal Data. The Site does neither, so it already meets that request for every Visitor. If Mine Marketing introduces any technology to which a GPC signal applies, it will treat the signal as a valid request to opt out for that browser, and as a refusal of consent to advertising technologies. Information about GPC is available at globalprivacycontrol.org.

10.2Do Not Track is an older browser signal for which no common standard has been adopted. As the Site does not track Visitors, it behaves the same whether or not the signal is sent.

11Managing Cookies and storage

11.1Visitors can view, block and delete Cookies and site data in their browser settings. Clearing site data removes session and local storage as well as Cookies; private or incognito windows clear it on closing. Menu names vary between versions; the official help pages are current.

Chrome

Settings > Privacy and security > Third-party cookies, to block Cookies; Settings > Privacy and security > Delete browsing data, to remove them. Chrome help

12Consequences of blocking

12.1Blocking Cookies has no effect on the Site, which sets none. Blocking session storage causes the full opening animation to play each time the home page is opened. Blocking the Content Hosts causes the Site to display in fallback system fonts and without its animations; all content remains available. Blocking the Form Service prevents the form from being sent, in which case the Visitor’s own email app opens with the message prepared.

13Linked websites

13.1The Site links to websites operated by others, including LinkedIn, TikTok for Business, AdsBuzz and the advertising platforms. Those websites set their own Cookies and technologies under their own policies, which Mine Marketing does not control.

14Changes to this policy

14.1Mine Marketing will update this policy before it changes the technologies used on the Site, and otherwise as needed, and publishes the current version on this page with its “Last updated” date. Where a change requires consent, the consent tool described in Section 9 will be shown before the change takes effect. Mine Marketing also reviews this policy at least every 12 months.
