Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help websites remember things about you – like your preferences, login status, or items in your shopping cart. At Distributedinteropservice, we use these technologies thoughtfully to enhance your journey toward inner calm and personal development.

These files don't contain personal information like your name or address. Instead, they store anonymous identifiers that help our website recognize your browser and remember your choices. This makes your experience smoother and more personalized each time you visit our platform.

Types of Cookies We Use

How Cookies Enhance Your Experience

When you're working on developing inner calm, the last thing you want is a website that doesn't remember your progress or preferences. Our cookies work behind the scenes to create a seamless experience. For instance, if you're halfway through a guided meditation series, cookies help us show you exactly where you left off.

They also help us provide relevant recommendations. If you've been focusing on stress management techniques, our system can suggest related content that might be helpful for your journey. This isn't about selling you something – it's about creating a more meaningful and personalized learning experience.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have complete control over how cookies work on your device. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can modify your browser settings to decline them if you prefer. Keep in mind that disabling certain cookies might affect how well our website functions for you.

To manage cookies in your browser, look for the privacy or security settings. You can usually choose to block all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or be notified each time a website wants to set a cookie. Each browser handles this differently, so check your browser's help section for specific instructions.

If you're using our mobile app, you can manage tracking preferences through your device settings. On iOS, look for "Privacy & Security" settings, and on Android, check "Google" settings under your accounts section.

Data Retention and Your Rights

We don't keep cookie data forever. Most cookies we set expire automatically after a certain period – some after a few hours, others after several months, depending on their purpose. Essential cookies typically last for the duration of your session, while preference cookies might persist for up to a year so you don't have to reset your choices every visit.

You have the right to know what information we're collecting and how we're using it. If you want to see what cookies are currently stored by your browser for our site, you can check this through your browser's developer tools or privacy settings. You also have the right to request that we delete any data associated with your account.

Third-Party Services

Sometimes we work with trusted third-party services to provide better functionality – things like analytics tools to understand how our content helps people, or payment processors to handle transactions securely. These services may set their own cookies, but they're bound by their own privacy policies and our agreements with them.

We carefully vet any third-party services we use to ensure they meet our standards for privacy and security. However, we recommend reviewing their privacy policies as well, since their practices may differ from ours.

Updates to This Policy

As we continue to improve Distributedinteropservice and add new features, we may need to update this cookie policy. When we make significant changes, we'll notify you through email or a prominent notice on our website. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we're protecting your privacy.

Minor updates, like clarifying existing practices or fixing typos, might be made without specific notification, but the "last updated" date at the bottom of this page will always reflect the most recent changes.
