This Cookie Policy explains how Mind Body Soul Academy uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website.

It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains more broadly how we collect, use and protect personal information.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files or similar pieces of information that may be stored on your computer, tablet or mobile device when you visit a website.

Cookies can be used for a range of purposes, including:

• keeping website sessions working;
• remembering preferences;
• operating checkout and customer-account functions;
• protecting forms and accounts from misuse;
• understanding how visitors use a website; and
• supporting analytics or marketing functions where these are enabled.

Some cookies remain only for the duration of your browser session, while others may remain on your device for a longer period.

2. Why We Use Cookies

Mind Body Soul Academy may use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for important website functions and cannot normally be disabled through our cookie-consent controls.

They may be used for purposes such as:

• website security;
• customer account sessions;
• shopping-cart and checkout functionality;
• processing purchases;
• remembering essential session information;
• fraud and abuse prevention;
• form protection; and
• maintaining your cookie-consent choices.

These cookies are used only where necessary to provide a service you have requested or to operate the website securely.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies may help the website remember choices or provide enhanced functionality.

For example, they may remember:

• website preferences;
• account-related settings; or
• certain user-interface choices.

Where consent is required for a particular functional technology, it will only be activated after you have made the appropriate choice through our cookie controls.

Analytics Cookies

If analytics are enabled on our website, analytics cookies may help us understand how visitors use Mind Body Soul Academy.

This may include information such as:

• pages visited;
• how visitors reach the website;
• how long certain pages are viewed;
• device or browser information; and
• general patterns of website use.

Where applicable law requires consent, analytics cookies will not be activated until you have consented to them.

Marketing Cookies

If marketing or advertising technologies are introduced in the future, marketing cookies may be used to understand the effectiveness of advertising or to provide more relevant marketing.

We do not currently intend to make access to the Mind Body Soul Academy website dependent upon accepting marketing cookies.

Where marketing cookies require consent, they will not be placed before that consent has been obtained.

3. Technologies Used on Mind Body Soul Academy

Our website is built using WordPress and currently uses services and technology including:

WordPress

WordPress may use cookies to support website sessions, user accounts, administrative functions and other website features.

SureCart

SureCart is used to operate our online shop, checkout, customer accounts, subscriptions and digital-product access.

Cookies or similar technologies may be used where necessary to maintain checkout sessions, customer-account functions and other e-commerce functionality.

FluentCRM and Fluent Forms

FluentCRM and Fluent Forms are used for customer communications, forms, contact management and email-related processes.

These systems primarily operate within our WordPress environment, although cookies or related technologies may be used where necessary for forms, sessions or related website functions.

MailerSend

MailerSend provides email-delivery infrastructure.

MailerSend itself is primarily used for sending email rather than ordinary website browsing. Email communications may, where enabled, contain technologies that record information such as delivery, opens or link clicks, as explained in our Privacy Policy.

Cloudflare Turnstile

We use Cloudflare Turnstile on certain forms to help protect the website from spam, automated submissions and abuse.

Cloudflare may process technical or security-related information necessary to provide this service.

Canva

Some products may provide links to editable resources hosted through Canva.

If you follow a link to Canva, you leave the Mind Body Soul Academy website and Canva’s own cookie and privacy practices will apply.

4. Cookie Consent

Under Maltese and EU rules, cookies that are not strictly necessary generally require prior informed consent before they are placed or accessed.

Strictly necessary cookies may be used without consent where they are required to provide a service specifically requested by the visitor. Malta’s Information and Data Protection Commissioner distinguishes these exempt cookies from tracking or other non-essential cookies.

When you first visit our website, our cookie banner or consent tool may allow you to:

• Accept All optional cookies;
• Reject All optional cookies; or
• manage individual cookie categories.

Non-essential cookies should remain disabled until you make an affirmative choice. Malta’s IDPC specifically states that non-exempt cookies should not already be operating when a visitor first lands on the website.

5. Withdrawing or Changing Your Consent

You may change or withdraw your cookie consent at any time.

Where available, you can do this by selecting the Cookie Settings, Manage Consent or similar link on our website.

Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before your consent was withdrawn.

Malta’s IDPC states that withdrawing consent should be as easy as giving it.

6. Cookies We Do Not Require Consent For

Certain cookies or similar technologies may be exempt from consent requirements where they are:

• used solely to transmit communications over an electronic communications network; or
• strictly necessary to provide an online service that you have specifically requested.

Examples may include cookies required to:

• maintain a checkout session;
• keep you logged into a customer account;
• remember products during a transaction;
• maintain security;
• prevent fraud; or
• remember your cookie-consent preferences.

Malta’s IDPC recognises this strictly-necessary exemption.

7. Third-Party Cookies and Services

Some functions on our website may involve third-party services.

Depending upon the features used, these providers may place cookies or use similar technologies in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies.

Relevant providers may include:

• SureCart;
• Cloudflare;
• payment providers such as Stripe;
• Canva; and
• other technology providers we may introduce in the future.

We aim to configure our website so that third-party non-essential technologies are not activated before any consent required by law has been obtained.

8. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

Most web browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies through their settings.

Please be aware that blocking all cookies may affect the operation of parts of the website, particularly:

• customer accounts;
• checkout;
• secure forms;
• saved preferences; and
• other functionality that relies upon essential cookies.

Browser controls operate separately from the consent choices available through our website.

9. Do Not Track and Browser Privacy Signals

Some browsers or devices provide privacy-related signals or tracking-prevention features.

Where technically supported and legally required, we may take these signals into account.

Because browser standards and technologies continue to develop, the effect of these features can vary between browsers and services.

10. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time where:

• our website technology changes;
• new plugins or services are introduced;
• cookies or tracking technologies change; or
• legal or regulatory requirements change.

The most recent version will be published on this page with an updated effective date.
