Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember information about your visit — such as your preferences or how you navigated the site — making your next visit easier and the site more useful to you.

Cookies can be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (stored on your device for a set period).

2. What Cookies We Use

2.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to operate. They cannot be disabled without affecting site functionality. No consent is required for these cookies under EU law.

2.2 Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website — such as which pages are most visited and how long people spend on the site. This data is anonymised where possible and is used solely to improve our website and content. We do not use it to identify you personally.

Google Analytics data is processed by Google LLC. For more information, see Google’s privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.

3. Cookies We Do Not Use

OceanMinded does not currently use:

• Marketing or advertising cookies
• Social media tracking cookies
• Retargeting or profiling cookies

If this changes in the future, this policy will be updated and you will be informed.

4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

4.2 Opt Out of Google Analytics

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

5. No Cookie Consent Banner — Your Responsibility to Opt Out

OceanMinded does not currently operate a cookie consent banner. Essential cookies are placed automatically as they are necessary for the site to function. Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) are also currently active by default. If you do not wish to be tracked via Google Analytics, please use the opt-out method described in Section 4.2 above, or adjust your browser settings.

We are reviewing our approach to cookie consent in line with EU/GDPR requirements and may implement a consent management tool in the future.
