What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit
mindraiq.com. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help our platform
remember your preferences and improve your testing workflow. We also use
similar technologies like web beacons and local storage to enhance your API
testing experience.
These technologies work behind the scenes to make your interactions with
our platform smoother. For instance, they remember which API endpoints
you've recently tested or keep you logged in across browser sessions. But
we know privacy matters, so we want you to understand exactly what's
happening and how you can control it.
These keep our platform functional and secure. They handle user
authentication, session management, and basic security features.
Without these, you wouldn't be able to log into your dashboard or save
test configurations. These cookies are necessary for core functionality
and cannot be disabled.
These enhance your testing workflow by remembering your preferences,
favorite API endpoints, and custom dashboard layouts. They make your
experience more personalized without tracking your behavior across
other websites. You can disable these, but some convenience features
may not work as expected.
We use these to understand how our platform performs and where we can
improve. They tell us which testing features are most popular, where
users encounter difficulties, and how we can make the API testing
process more intuitive. This data helps us build better tools for you.
These help us show you relevant content about new features, testing
methodologies, and integration capabilities that match your current
projects. They also help us measure the effectiveness of our
educational content and documentation. You have full control over these
cookies.
Find Your Cookie Management Answer
I want to disable all non-essential tracking. How do I do this?
Access your browser's privacy settings and block third-party cookies.
In your MindRaIQ account settings, you can also opt out of analytics
and marketing cookies while keeping essential functionality intact.
This won't affect your ability to run API tests or manage integrations.
Will blocking cookies affect my API testing workflows?
Essential cookies are required for authentication and session
management, so blocking these will prevent you from logging in.
However, blocking analytics and marketing cookies won't impact your
testing capabilities, dashboard access, or integration management –
you'll just lose some personalization features.
How does MindRaIQ use my browsing data to improve services?
We analyze anonymized usage patterns to identify common testing
workflows, popular integration methods, and areas where users need
additional documentation. This helps us prioritize feature development
and create better educational resources. We never share individual user
behavior with third parties.
Can I customize which types of cookies MindRaIQ uses?
Yes, you have granular control. Essential cookies are always active for
security and functionality. You can independently enable or disable
functional cookies (for personalization), analytics cookies (for
service improvement), and marketing cookies (for relevant content)
through your account preferences or browser settings.

Data Retention and Your Control
1
Session Cookies
These expire when you close your browser. They handle temporary
data like your current testing session, unsaved API configurations,
and authentication tokens. No long-term storage of your activity.

Persistent Cookies (30 days)
These remember your dashboard preferences, recently used endpoints,
and convenience settings. They automatically refresh each time you
use MindRaIQ, but expire after 30 days of inactivity.

Analytics Data (12 months)
Aggregated, anonymized usage statistics help us improve our API
testing tools. This data is automatically purged after one year and
cannot be linked back to individual accounts or personal
information.

Account Preferences (Until Changed)
Your cookie preferences and privacy settings persist until you
modify them. You can update these anytime through your account
dashboard or by clearing browser data specific to mindraiq.com.
Third-Party Integration Cookies
When you connect external APIs or use our integration testing features,
some third-party services may set their own cookies. For example, if you're
testing OAuth flows or webhook integrations, the target services might use
cookies for authentication or session management.
We don't control these third-party cookies, but we limit their scope to
only what's necessary for testing functionality. Our platform isolates
these interactions to prevent unnecessary data sharing. You can review and
manage these through your browser's site-specific cookie settings.
Cookie Security and Protection
All cookies used by MindRaIQ are encrypted and transmitted over secure
HTTPS connections. We use industry-standard security flags including
HttpOnly, Secure, and SameSite attributes to prevent unauthorized access
and cross-site attacks.
Our cookies never store sensitive information like API keys, passwords, or
personal data. Authentication is handled through secure tokens that
automatically expire, and we regularly audit our cookie usage to ensure
minimal data collection and maximum security for your API testing
workflows.
Last Updated: February 2025
This cookie policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in our
practices or legal requirements. We'll notify active users of significant
changes through email or dashboard notifications.
