How gridmint Uses Cookies
We use cookies for several important reasons, all aimed at improving your experience and ensuring our website functions optimally. These reasons include:

- Analyzing Website Performance: We use cookies to understand how visitors interact with our site, which pages are most popular, and if any errors occur. This helps us to continuously improve our website's design and content.
- Personalizing Your Experience: Cookies allow us to tailor the content and services we offer to better suit your interests, making your visit more relevant and engaging.

Types of Cookies We Utilize
Our website employs different categories of cookies to serve various functions:
1. Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to perform its basic functions. Without these cookies, some parts of our site would not work. They enable core functionality like security, network management, and accessibility.
2. Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, for example, which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don't collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.
3. Functionality Cookies
These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. They can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customize.
4. Targeting/Advertising Cookies
These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission.
Third-Party Cookies
In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-parties cookies to report usage statistics of the service, deliver advertisements on and through the service, and so on. These third-party cookies are governed by the respective privacy policies of these external services. For example, we might use Google Analytics for website traffic analysis.

View Our Privacy PolicyFrequently Asked Questions About Cookies
Some cookies, especially those used for analytics or advertising, can collect information that, when combined with other data, might be used to identify you. However, essential and performance cookies typically focus on anonymous data about website usage. We always aim to minimize the collection of personal data and use it only in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
While you can disable all cookies through your browser settings, doing so may significantly impact your browsing experience. Essential cookies are crucial for the basic functionality of the website, and disabling them might prevent certain features from working correctly. We recommend reviewing your settings to find a balance that suits your privacy preferences and ensures a functional experience.
The lifespan of a cookie can vary. Some cookies are "session cookies," meaning they only last for the duration of your visit and are deleted when you close your browser. Others are "persistent cookies," which remain on your device for a set period (e.g., a few days, months, or even years) or until you manually delete them. The exact duration depends on the specific cookie and its purpose.
First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting (in this case, gridmint.com). They are generally used to improve your experience on that specific site. Third-party cookies, on the other hand, are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting. These are often used for cross-site tracking, re-targeting, and advertising by external services like social media platforms or advertising networks.
