2. About This Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies are used when you visit:

www.thementalspacemethod.com

It applies to the website, its sales pages, checkout pages, order processes, and other pages operated through the same website environment, collectively referred to as the “Site.”

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how personal data is collected, used, disclosed, retained, and protected.

This Cookie Policy does not govern cookies or similar technologies used independently by third-party websites or platforms that you may access through links or redirects from the Site.

3. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files stored on your browser or device when you visit a website.

Cookies may allow a website or service provider to:

• recognize a browser or device;

• remember preferences and consent choices;

• maintain secure sessions;

• support checkout and payment functions;

• prevent fraud and unauthorized access;

• understand how pages are accessed or used;

• measure the effectiveness of advertising;

• identify and resolve technical problems.

Cookies may be:

• first-party cookies, placed by the website you are visiting;

• third-party cookies, placed or accessed by an external service provider;

• session cookies, which normally expire when you close your browser;

• persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them.

4. Similar Technologies

The Site may also use technologies that perform functions similar to cookies, including:

• tracking pixels;

• tags;

• scripts;

• browser or local storage;

• device or browser identifiers;

• conversion-tracking technologies.

References to “cookies” in this Cookie Policy include these similar technologies where appropriate.

5. How We Use Cookies

We may use cookies and similar technologies to:

• operate and maintain the Site;

• provide secure website and checkout functions;

• remember your cookie-consent preferences;

• process and verify order-related steps;

• deliver purchased digital products;

• protect the Site and its users from fraud or unauthorized activity;

• identify technical errors and security problems;

• understand whether advertising led to a website visit, checkout, or purchase;

• measure and improve advertising performance.

Optional cookies are not intended to operate unless you have provided the required consent.

6. Legal Basis and Consent

When you first access the Site, a cookie-consent banner is displayed immediately.

Before you make a choice, only cookies and similar technologies that are strictly necessary to operate the Site, maintain security, remember consent preferences, process a requested transaction, or provide a service requested by you are permitted to operate.

Cookies used for Preferences, Statistics, Marketing, advertising measurement, or other non-essential purposes remain disabled unless and until you provide the required consent.

Through the cookie banner, you may:

• accept all optional cookies;

• reject optional cookies;

• select individual cookie categories;

• continue using only Necessary cookies.

Consent is not assumed from silence, inactivity, continued browsing, or failure to make a selection.

Refusing optional cookies does not prevent you from browsing the Site or purchasing digital products. However, certain non-essential features may not operate as intended.

You may change or withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

Any personal data collected through cookies is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

7. Cookie Categories

The Site uses the following consent categories through Cookiebot CMP.

7.1 Necessary

Necessary cookies and technologies support functions required for the operation, security, and delivery of the Site or a service requested by you.

They may be used to:

• display and operate website pages;

• maintain secure browsing or checkout sessions;

• remember cookie-consent choices;

• protect forms, accounts, transactions, and website infrastructure;

• process order-related steps;

• support payment and fraud-prevention functions;

• deliver purchased digital products;

• identify and resolve technical problems.

Necessary cookies cannot normally be disabled through the cookie-preference tool because the Site or a service requested by you may not function correctly without them.

You may still block or delete them through your browser settings, but doing so may affect website, checkout, payment, or product-delivery functionality.

7.2 Preferences

Preference cookies allow a website to remember information that affects how it behaves or appears.

They may be used to remember:

• language or display preferences;

• previously selected website options;

• non-essential functionality choices;

• other settings selected during a previous visit.

Preference cookies are optional and operate only where they are present and the required consent has been provided.

7.3 Statistics

Statistics cookies help website operators understand how visitors interact with website pages and functions.

They may collect information about:

• pages visited;

• visit duration;

• referring sources;

• browser or device type;

• website interactions;

• technical performance;

• errors or navigation patterns.

Statistics cookies are optional and remain disabled unless the required consent has been provided.

If the Site does not currently use any Statistics cookies, none will be activated under this category. The current Cookie Declaration identifies the technologies actually detected on the Site.

7.4 Marketing

Marketing cookies and similar technologies may be used to measure advertising activity and understand whether a visitor completed an action after viewing or interacting with an advertisement.

They may be used to:

• measure visits generated by advertisements;

• identify whether an advertisement led to a checkout or purchase;

• create campaign-performance reports;

• evaluate and improve Facebook and Instagram advertising;

• optimize the delivery of advertisements;

• reduce repeated or irrelevant advertising;

• create or use advertising audiences where permitted;

• support targeted or cross-context behavioral advertising where applicable.

Marketing cookies are optional and are configured to remain blocked unless you provide consent to the Marketing category.

8. Cookiebot Consent Management Platform

The Site uses Cookiebot CMP, a consent-management service provided by Usercentrics A/S, based in Denmark.

Cookiebot displays the cookie-consent banner immediately when you first access the Site and before optional cookies or tracking technologies are authorized to operate.

Cookiebot is used to:

• display the cookie-consent banner;

• organize cookies into consent categories;

• allow you to accept, reject, or customize optional cookies;

• record and remember your choices;

• prevent optional technologies from operating before consent;

• allow you to change or withdraw consent;

• maintain evidence of consent or refusal where required;

• scan the Site and identify cookies and similar technologies.

When you interact with the cookie banner, Cookiebot may process information such as:

• whether optional cookies were accepted or rejected;

• the categories selected;

• the date and time of the decision;

• a consent identifier;

• technical information needed to remember or demonstrate your choice.

Cookiebot may use a Necessary cookie or similar storage technology to remember your decision and avoid displaying the banner again on every page or visit, unless renewed consent is required or the stored choice is deleted or expires.

9. Meta Pixel

The Site uses the Meta Pixel, provided by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited and associated Meta entities.

The Meta Pixel is assigned to the Marketing category and is configured to remain blocked unless you consent to Marketing cookies through Cookiebot.

If Marketing consent is provided, the Meta Pixel may process or transmit information such as:

• IP address;

• browser and device information;

• user-agent information;

• page URL;

• referring or advertising source;

• date and time of an interaction;

• browser or advertising identifiers;

• information indicating that a website action occurred.

The events configured on the Site may include:

• PageView;

• ViewContent;

• InitiateCheckout;

• Purchase.

These events may indicate that a page was viewed, sales content was accessed, the checkout was reached, or a purchase was completed.

The Meta Pixel is not intentionally configured to transmit:

• complete payment-card information;

• bank or PayPal credentials;

• passwords;

• customer-support messages;

• medical records or diagnoses;

• the contents of purchased digital products;

• other sensitive personal information.

Meta may use information received through its business tools for advertising measurement, campaign reporting, analytics, security, product improvement, and advertising purposes, as described in Meta’s applicable terms and privacy notices.

Depending on the relevant processing activity, Meta may act as a service provider, joint controller, or independent controller.

You may prevent the Meta Pixel from operating by rejecting or disabling the Marketing category.

10. Systeme.io

The Site, sales pages, checkout pages, order automations, transactional emails, and digital-product delivery are operated using Systeme.io, provided by ITACWT Limited, an Irish company.

Systeme.io may use cookies and similar technologies where necessary to:

• operate website and sales pages;

• maintain secure sessions;

• manage forms and checkout processes;

• process and administer orders;

• support digital-product delivery;

• maintain website security;

• prevent fraud;

• identify technical problems;

• support service-related communications.

Any cookies or trackers detected in connection with Systeme.io are identified and categorized in the Cookie Declaration displayed on this page.

11. Payment Providers

Payments may be processed through Stripe or PayPal.

These providers may use cookies and similar technologies for purposes including:

• payment processing;

• account authentication;

• transaction security;

• fraud prevention;

• risk management;

• regulatory compliance;

• identity verification where required;

• service functionality.

Some payment technologies may operate through a checkout component displayed on the Site. Others may operate after you are redirected to the provider’s own website or payment environment.

Cookies used independently on Stripe, PayPal, or other third-party websites are governed by the relevant provider’s own cookie and privacy policies.

We do not control cookies placed independently by those providers on their own websites or platforms.

12. Social-Media Links

The Site may contain links to our Facebook and Instagram profiles or to content hosted on social-media platforms.

A standard link does not, by itself, authorize the Meta Pixel or other Marketing technologies on the Site.

When you follow a link to Facebook, Instagram, or another third-party platform, that provider may use cookies and process information independently under its own terms, privacy policy, and cookie policy.

13. Cookie Information and Your Choices

When you first access the Site, the Cookiebot consent banner is displayed immediately.

The banner provides information about the cookie categories used on the Site and allows you to:

• accept all optional cookies;

• reject optional cookies;

• select the cookie categories you wish to enable;

• continue using only Necessary cookies.

Before you make a choice, optional cookies and similar technologies are intended to remain disabled.

The cookies and similar technologies used on the Site may change over time when services, providers, or technical configurations are updated.

Additional information about how personal data collected through cookies and similar technologies is processed is available in our Privacy Policy.

14. Cookie Duration

The duration of a cookie depends on its purpose and technical configuration.

Session cookies normally expire when you close your browser.

Persistent cookies remain on your device until:

• their stated expiry date;

• they are replaced or renewed;

• you withdraw the relevant consent;

• you delete them through your browser;

• the provider removes or changes them.

The duration associated with each cookie detected on the Site is shown in the Cookie Declaration where available.

Third-party providers may change cookie names, purposes, or durations as their services develop.

15. Changing or Withdrawing Consent

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

If the Cookiebot consent banner is displayed, you may use it to review and update your choices.

If the banner is no longer visible, you may delete the cookies stored for this Site through your browser settings and reload the Site. This will normally cause the cookie banner to be displayed again, allowing you to make a new selection.

You may also use your browser settings to:

• view stored cookies;

• delete cookies;

• block some or all cookies;

• restrict third-party cookies;

• configure privacy and tracking preferences.

Deleting cookies may remove your previously saved consent choice.

After consent is withdrawn, optional cookies and technologies will no longer be authorized to operate during subsequent use of the Site, subject to the correct technical operation of the consent-management platform.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

16. Browser Settings

Most browsers allow you to:

• view stored cookies;

• delete cookies;

• block some or all cookies;

• restrict third-party cookies;

• receive a warning before a cookie is stored;

• configure privacy and tracking settings.

Browser controls vary according to the browser and device used.

Blocking all cookies may affect:

• website operation;

• checkout functionality;

• payment processing;

• consent-preference storage;

• secure sessions;

• digital-product delivery.

Browser-level controls do not replace the cookie-preference tool where consent has already been provided through the Site.

17. International Data Transfers

Some providers may process information outside Italy or the European Economic Area, including in the United States and other countries.

Where international transfers are subject to the General Data Protection Regulation, they may be based on:

• a European Commission adequacy decision;

• the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework, where applicable;

• Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission;

• supplementary technical, contractual, or organizational safeguards;

• another lawful transfer mechanism.

The mechanism used may depend on the provider, destination, service, and processing activity.

Further information about international data transfers is available in our Privacy Policy.

18. United States Privacy Choices

We do not sell personal data for monetary consideration.

Under some United States state privacy laws, the use of third-party advertising technologies may be considered:

• targeted advertising;

• sharing of personal data;

• cross-context behavioral advertising.

To the extent such laws apply, you may opt out of these activities by rejecting or disabling the Marketing category through the cookie-preference tool.

Additional information about United States privacy rights and how to submit a privacy request is available in our Privacy Policy.

19. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when necessary to reflect:

• changes to the Site or its products;

• the introduction or removal of service providers;

• changes to cookies or tracking technologies;

• changes to advertising, payment, or checkout tools;
