Cookie Notice
Last updated
This notice lists the cookies and similar technologies that segmind.com and platform.segmind.com use: who sets each one, what it is for and how long it lasts. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal data.
Change or withdraw your choices at any time, including opting out of sharing your data for advertising.
How we ask
Analytics and advertising cookies from PostHog and Google are set only after you agree, and you can refuse them as easily as you accept them. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, Google’s tags do not load at all until you agree. Elsewhere they load with every category refused, which sets no Google cookies, until you make a choice. Your choice applies to both segmind.com and platform.segmind.com, and we ask again after a year.
Global Privacy Control
If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as a request not to sell or share your personal data. While it is on, marketing cookies stay off, we do not share your data with advertising partners and session replay does not record, even if you accepted marketing cookies before. The settings dialog shows when the signal is being honoured.
