1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. They help the website function correctly, remember your preferences between visits, and (where used) understand how visitors move through a site. Some of the tools embedded on our Site also use similar technologies, such as local browser storage, to remember your choices.
2. How We Use Cookies
Mindmap Training & Consulting uses cookies and local storage to:
- Remember the language you selected using the language switcher, so you don't have to reselect it on every page;
- Remember whether you have already responded to this cookie banner;
- Allow embedded third-party tools — our language-translation widget and our spam-protection tool — to function correctly; and
- Keep the Site secure and reliable.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
| Category | Purpose | Can be disabled? |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Required for core site functions, such as remembering your cookie-consent choice and basic security. | No — essential for the Site to work. |
| Functional | Remembers preferences such as your selected language. | Yes — the Site will default to English if disabled. |
| Third-party — Google Translate | Powers the language switcher so pages can be shown in Afrikaans, Portuguese, or French. | Yes — the language switcher will not work if blocked. |
| Third-party — Google reCAPTCHA | Protects our enquiry and application forms from spam and automated abuse. | Yes, but form submission may be affected if blocked. |
4. Third-Party Cookies
Certain features on the Site are provided by third parties who may set their own cookies in line with their own policies, over which we have limited control: Google (Fonts, Translate, and reCAPTCHA) and our form-delivery provider used to route enquiry and application submissions. We encourage you to review Google's privacy and cookie information for details of how it processes data through these tools.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit the Site, a cookie banner lets you Accept All or Reject Non-Essential cookies. You can change your mind at any time by clearing your browser's site data for mindmaptc.com, which will show the banner again on your next visit.
6. Browser Controls
Most browsers also let you control cookies directly through their settings — you can typically block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, or delete cookies that have already been set. Because doing so may affect the language switcher, translated pages, and form protection, we recommend using the on-site banner first.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookies Policy as the tools and services used on the Site change. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
