Last Updated: February 8, 2026
Effective Date: February 8, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how StillMind Meditation Academy S.L. uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website. By using this website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy, subject to the preferences you have selected through our cookie consent banner.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, provide information to website owners, and enhance the user experience. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services integrated into the website (third-party cookies).

Cookies typically contain a unique identifier, the domain name of the website, and some numbers and characters. They allow websites to recognize your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferred language, login status, or items in your shopping cart.

Cookie Categories

We use three categories of cookies on this website. Each category serves a different purpose and requires different levels of consent:

1. Essential Cookies

Purpose: Essential cookies are necessary for the core functionality, security, and session management of our website. These cookies enable basic features such as page navigation, secure login, and access to protected areas of the site.

Examples: session_id (maintains your session across pages), csrf_token (prevents cross-site request forgery attacks), cookie_consent_status (stores your cookie preferences).

Consent Required: NO. Essential cookies are activated automatically as they are necessary for the website to function. You cannot disable these cookies through our cookie preference panel, though you may block them through your browser settings. However, doing so may prevent you from accessing certain features or areas of the website.

Retention: Session duration or up to 12 months for preference storage.

2. Analytics Cookies

Purpose: Analytics cookies help us measure website traffic, understand user behavior, and assess site performance. We use this data to improve the user experience, identify technical issues, and understand which content is most valuable to our visitors.

Tools: We use Google Analytics 4 to collect anonymized usage data. IP anonymization is enabled to protect user privacy.

Examples: _ga (distinguishes unique users), _ga_XXXXXXX (stores campaign data), _gid (distinguishes users), _gat (throttles request rate).

Consent Required: YES. Analytics cookies are activated only after you accept them through our cookie consent banner or cookie preference panel.

Retention: Up to 14 months.

3. Marketing and Advertising Cookies

Purpose: Marketing cookies enable us to deliver personalized advertisements, measure advertising campaign effectiveness, and build remarketing audiences. These cookies allow us to show relevant ads to previous visitors across various websites and platforms.

Consent Required: YES. Marketing and advertising cookies are activated only after you accept them through our cookie consent banner or cookie preference panel.

Retention: Up to 540 days, which is the default retention period for Google Ads conversion tracking cookies.

Marketing Cookies: Detailed Disclosure

In compliance with advertising platform policies and privacy regulations, we provide the following detailed disclosures regarding our use of marketing and advertising cookies:

Third-Party Ad Serving

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's previous visits to this website and other sites on the internet. This practice, known as remarketing or retargeting, allows us to show relevant advertisements to people who have already expressed interest in our meditation and mindfulness educational programs.

Advertising Partners

We work with advertising partners such as Google and Meta to deliver advertisements tailored to your interests across various websites and platforms. These partners use cookies and similar technologies to collect data about your browsing activity, which is then used to determine which ads are most relevant to you.

Remarketing Services

We use remarketing services to advertise to previous visitors of our website. After visiting our site, you may see our ads on other websites, apps, or platforms you visit. These ads may be displayed across multiple devices if you are logged into the same account on those devices. Remarketing allows us to present relevant educational opportunities to individuals who have already shown interest in meditation and mindfulness learning.

YouTube and Display Network

Advertisements may appear across Google services including YouTube, Gmail, and the Google Display Network. The Google Display Network consists of millions of websites, apps, and video content where ads can appear. If you have accepted marketing cookies, you may see our ads on these platforms based on your previous interactions with our website.

Tracking Technologies

We use the following tracking technologies on this website:

  • Cookies (both first-party and third-party)
  • Tracking pixels (Google Ads tag / gtag.js, Meta Pixel)
  • Device identifiers (browser fingerprint, IP address)
  • Conversion event tags

Advertising Measurement

We use conversion tracking to understand which advertisements lead to actions on our website, such as form submissions, phone calls, or program enrollments. This allows us to measure campaign effectiveness and allocate our advertising budget appropriately. Conversion data may be shared with Google Ads and Meta to optimize ad delivery and improve campaign performance. All conversion tracking is conducted in compliance with privacy regulations and advertising platform policies.

Technologies in Use

The following advertising and analytics technologies are active on this website when you have consented to marketing and analytics cookies:

  • Google Ads (gtag.js / Google Tag Manager)
  • Google Analytics 4
  • Google Remarketing Tag
  • Meta Pixel (Facebook / Instagram)

Google Services and Advertising

This website uses the following Google services:

Google Analytics 4

Google Analytics 4 collects anonymized usage data, device information, and behavioral signals to help us understand how visitors interact with our website. IP anonymization is enabled, meaning that your full IP address is not stored. Data retention is set to 14 months, after which aggregated data is retained but individual user data is deleted.

You may opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

Google Ads Conversion Tracking

Google Ads Conversion Tracking records when a user completes a defined action (such as submitting a contact form, making a phone call, or enrolling in a program) after clicking one of our ads. This data is used solely for measuring ad campaign performance and optimizing our advertising strategy. Conversion tracking cookies are set only when you click on one of our ads and subsequently visit our website.

Google Remarketing

Google Remarketing allows us to show ads to previous visitors across Google's advertising network, including the Google Display Network, YouTube, and Google Search. Remarketing lists are created based on pages visited, time spent on the site, and actions taken. We do not create remarketing lists based on sensitive data categories such as health information, financial situation, religion, or sexual orientation.

Remarketing cookies expire after 540 days, meaning that you will stop seeing our remarketing ads after this period unless you revisit our website and accept marketing cookies again.

Google Tag Manager

Google Tag Manager deploys tracking tags on our behalf. It acts as a container management system that allows us to manage multiple tracking codes from a single interface. Google Tag Manager itself does not collect personal data; it simply triggers other tags (such as Google Analytics and Google Ads tags) based on rules we configure. The actual data collection is performed by the individual tags deployed through Tag Manager.

Google's advertising products are governed by Google's Advertising Privacy Notice, available at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads

Meta Advertising Services

This website uses the Meta Pixel to measure the effectiveness of our advertising on Facebook and Instagram. The Meta Pixel is a piece of code that tracks user actions on our website and sends this data to Meta's advertising platform.

Data Collected by Meta Pixel

The Meta Pixel may record the following types of data:

  • Page views and time spent on site
  • Specific conversion events (form submissions, program enrollments)
  • Custom audience membership for retargeting purposes
  • Device information and browser type
  • Referral source (how you arrived at our website)

We do not use the Meta Pixel to collect sensitive personal data, nor do we target users based on health status, financial situation, religion, political views, sexual orientation, or any other special-category attribute prohibited under Meta's advertising policies.

Meta acts as an independent data controller for data collected via its Pixel and processed within its own platform. This means that Meta has its own responsibilities under privacy law for how it uses pixel data. For more information, refer to Meta's Data Policy: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy

To manage your ad preferences on Meta platforms and control how Meta uses your data for advertising purposes, visit: https://www.facebook.com/adpreferences/

Opting Out of Personalized Advertising

You have the right to opt out of personalized advertising at any time. Opting out does not mean you will stop seeing advertisements entirely; rather, the ads you see will not be tailored to your interests based on your browsing behavior.

How to Opt Out

Please note that opting out using these industry tools will not remove ads from the websites you visit. Instead, you will continue to see advertisements, but they will be generic rather than personalized based on your interests.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have full control over which non-essential cookies are active on your device. Our cookie consent banner appears when you first visit the website and provides the following options:

Accept All Cookies

Activates essential, analytics, and marketing cookies. This provides the full website experience and allows us to deliver personalized content and measure our advertising effectiveness.

Reject Non-Essential Cookies

Activates only essential cookies. Analytics and marketing cookies remain inactive. You can use the website normally, but we will not collect usage data or display personalized advertisements.

Manage Preferences

Opens a detailed preferences panel where you can enable or disable analytics and marketing cookies independently. Essential cookies remain active as they are necessary for website functionality.

A "Manage cookie preferences" link is available in the footer of every page on our website. Clicking this link reopens the preferences panel, allowing you to change your cookie settings at any time.

Your cookie preferences are stored in your browser's local storage for 12 months. After this period, you will be asked to provide your preferences again. You may also clear your preferences at any time by clearing your browser's cookies and local storage.

Consent Requirements and GDPR Compliance

By clicking "Accept All Cookies", you consent to the storing of cookies on your device for analytics and advertising purposes, including personalized advertising delivered by Google and Meta. You may withdraw consent at any time through the cookie preferences panel without affecting the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal.

EEA and UK Users

Users in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom receive this consent notice in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR. Marketing and analytics cookies are activated solely after explicit, informed, freely given consent under GDPR Article 6(1)(a). Consent is recorded with a timestamp and may be audited upon request.

Our cookie consent mechanism ensures that non-essential cookies are not loaded until consent is provided. This means that if you choose "Reject Non-Essential Cookies" or simply close the banner without making a selection, only essential cookies will be active.

Withdrawal of Consent

You may withdraw consent at any time by clicking "Manage cookie preferences" in the website footer, or by clearing cookies via your browser settings. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred while consent was valid. After withdrawing consent, analytics and marketing cookies will no longer collect data, though cookies previously set may remain on your device until they expire or you manually delete them.

Browser Cookie Controls

In addition to our cookie preference panel, you can control cookies through your web browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

  • View which cookies are stored on your device
  • Delete all cookies or selective cookies
  • Block third-party cookies
  • Block all cookies from specific websites
  • Block all cookies entirely (though this may prevent some websites from functioning properly)
  • Delete all cookies when you close your browser
