Cookie Policy

01 What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files that websites store in your browser. They are widely used to make websites function properly, improve performance, and provide information to site owners.

localStorage is similar to cookies. It is browser-side storage that does not automatically expire and is not sent to the server with every request.

This Policy is designed in accordance with CalOPPA (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code 22575), CCPA/CPRA, and applicable U.S. federal laws.

02 What We Use on Our Website

The Website uses browser storage technologies divided into three categories. Necessary technologies are always active. Analytics and advertising technologies are activated only with your explicit consent via the cookie settings banner.

2.1 Detailed Technology Table

Note. Analytics and advertising cookies are activated only after your explicit consent. If you decline these categories, the related scripts do not load.

2.2 What Happens When Google Fonts and unpkg Load

When pages load, your browser connects to Google servers (fonts.googleapis.com, fonts.gstatic.com) and unpkg.com CDN. As a result of these requests:

• Your IP address may become visible to those third parties.
• Google may process data under its own Privacy Policy.
• We do not control, and are not responsible for, third-party privacy policies.

03 Technology Categories We Use

Functional (Strictly Necessary)

The localStorage key hms_cookie_consent is required to remember your cookie banner choice. Without it, the banner would appear on every visit. This data is stored only on your device and is not sent to us.

Third-Party Requests (Technical)

Requests to Google Fonts and unpkg are technically required for proper visual rendering of the Website. They are not used for advertising or analytics purposes by themselves.

Analytics

Google Analytics helps us understand how visitors use the Website, including which pages are most useful. It is activated only if you consent to analytics cookies.

Advertising

Google Ads and Facebook Pixel are used to personalize ads on third-party services and measure campaign performance. They are activated only with your explicit consent to advertising cookies. Without consent, advertising scripts are not loaded.

04 How to Manage Cookies and Browser Data

4.1 Browser Settings

Most browsers allow you to review, delete, and block cookies and localStorage data. Here are guides for popular browsers:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari
• Microsoft Edge

Please note: disabling all cookies and localStorage may affect some Website functionality (for example, the cookie banner may reappear on each visit).

4.2 Change Consent via Our Banner

You can change or withdraw consent at any time without technical tools. To do so:

• Click Cookie Settings in the footer of any page (section "© Healing Mind Studio").
• Or use the button below:

Open Cookie Settings

A settings panel will open where you can enable or disable each cookie category and save your updated choice.

4.3 Blocking Google Fonts

If you do not want your IP shared with Google, use a browser extension that blocks requests to fonts.googleapis.com (for example, uBlock Origin or Privacy Badger). In that case, the Website will display using standard system fonts.

05 Do Not Track (CalOPPA)

As required by CalOPPA (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code 22575), the Website does not respond to browser Do Not Track (DNT) signals. Instead, we provide transparent consent controls through our cookie banner, so you can disable analytics and advertising categories at any time.

If we implement DNT support in the future, this Policy will be updated to reflect that process.

06 California Residents' Cookie Rights (CCPA / CPRA)

California residents may request information about categories of personal data collected through cookies and similar technologies, the purposes of use, and third parties that receive such data.

Data sharing with third parties (Google, Meta) through advertising cookies may be considered "sharing/sale" under CCPA/CPRA. You may opt out by disabling the "Advertising" category in cookie settings. Analytics data (Google Analytics) is used solely to improve the Website and is not used for cross-context behavioral targeting.

To exercise rights under CCPA/CPRA, send a request to: healingmindstudio@gmail.com.

07 Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time due to changes in technology, legal requirements, or service providers. The current version is always posted on this page. We recommend checking it periodically for updates.
