Tracking technologies are small data files or similar tools that get stored on your device when you visit websites. Most people call them cookies, though technically they come in different forms.

Think of them as temporary notes that help websites remember you. When you come back to neurismind.com, these notes tell us things like what language you prefer or which pages you've already visited.

Some stay for just one session. Others stick around longer. Here's what we actually use:

• Session cookies that disappear when you close your browser
• Persistent cookies that remember your preferences for future visits
• First-party cookies set directly by neurismind.com
• Analytics tools that show us which content resonates with visitors

The tracking technologies we use serve specific purposes that benefit you as a visitor. Let me give you some concrete examples of how this works in practice.

Different tracking technologies have different lifespans. Some disappear quickly, while others persist longer to serve ongoing functions. Here's our current retention schedule:

We review these retention periods quarterly. If we find that shorter durations would work just as well, we adjust accordingly. Our goal is to collect only what provides genuine value.

You have complete control over how tracking technologies work on your device. Modern browsers give you extensive options for managing these preferences.

Be aware that blocking essential tracking technologies may affect site functionality. Some features might not work as expected, and you may need to re-enter information on each visit.

Most browsers also offer "Do Not Track" signals. While we respect these signals, not all websites do. Browser settings remain your most reliable control method.

We use analytics services from third-party providers to better understand site usage. These services operate under their own privacy policies, which we've reviewed to ensure they align with our standards.

Currently, we work with analytics providers who anonymize IP addresses and aggregate data to protect individual privacy. They help us answer questions like "Which content topics interest our Vietnamese audience most?" without tracking specific individuals.

These third parties cannot use the data for their own purposes beyond providing analytics services to us. We've configured their tools to maximize privacy while still gathering useful insights.

Technology changes, regulations evolve, and our practices adapt. When we make significant changes to how we use tracking technologies, we'll update this policy and change the date at the top.

For minor clarifications or technical updates, we may not notify visitors individually. But for substantial changes—like adding new types of tracking or significantly extending retention periods—we'll add a notice to our homepage for at least 30 days.

We recommend checking this policy occasionally if you're interested in staying informed about our tracking practices. Most visitors check once a year, which seems reasonable given how infrequently major changes occur.
