This Cookie Policy explains how Mellon.Life ("Mellon", "we", "us", "our"), operated by MINTRIX S.R.L., uses cookies and similar technologies on the website mellon.life (the "Platform").

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Terms of Use. A separate Privacy Policy will further explain how we process personal data.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work properly, improve user experience, and collect analytics information.

We may also use similar technologies such as local storage or session storage, which function in a similar way to cookies.

2. How we use cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

• keep users authenticated and maintain secure sessions;
• store user interface preferences (such as theme and view mode);
• improve performance and loading times;
• enable map and location-related functionality.

We do not use cookies or similar technologies for advertising, marketing, profiling, or analytics purposes.

3. Types of cookies we use

A. Strictly Necessary Cookies (Always Active)

These cookies are essential for the Platform to function properly and cannot be disabled.

This includes:

• user authentication and session management;
• security and fraud prevention;
• basic technical functionality.

The Platform does not use HTTP cookies for authentication. Instead, authentication tokens and essential session data are stored in the browser's local storage and session storage, which function similarly to cookies but remain on your device and are not transmitted to third parties.

Legal basis:

• GDPR Art. 6(1)(b) – performance of a contract
• GDPR Art. 6(1)(f) – legitimate interest (secure and functional service)

B. Analytics Cookies - Not Used

The Platform does not use Google Analytics or any other analytics service that sets cookies. We do not collect analytics data through cookies, tracking pixels, or similar tracking technologies. No analytics cookies are set at any time.

C. Functional Storage (Local Storage)

We use your browser's local storage and session storage for essential functionality, including:

• storing the authentication token that keeps you logged in;
• maintaining a session identifier to reduce loading times;
• remembering user interface preferences (such as theme and view mode);
• caching activity lists for faster navigation.

This information:

• is stored locally on your device;
• is not used for advertising;
• is not shared with third parties.

Legal basis:

• GDPR Art. 6(1)(f) – legitimate interest (efficient and reliable service)

You can clear this data at any time through your browser settings.

D. Map and Location Services

The Platform integrates Google Places and Google Static Maps services to allow users to search for places, select activity locations, and view static map images. These integrations are performed via server-side API calls using our own API key - no Google cookies are set in the user's browser.

When using these features, the following may be processed by Google on its servers:

• IP address (transmitted as part of the server-side API request);
• search queries entered by the user;
• geographic coordinates (only if you choose to enable location access).

Google does not set cookies in the user's browser through these integrations. When a user taps a link to open Google Maps externally, they leave the Platform and are subject to Google's own policies - that navigation is not part of the Platform.

Legal basis:

• GDPR Art. 6(1)(f) – legitimate interest (providing location-based functionality);
• GDPR Art. 6(1)(a) – consent, where precise location access is requested.

Location access is optional and only used when you actively choose to enable it.

4. Cookies we do NOT use

We do not use:

• analytics cookies (including Google Analytics);
• advertising or marketing cookies;
• social media tracking pixels;
• profiling or retargeting technologies;
• third-party advertising networks;
• cross-site tracking cookies.

If this changes, this Cookie Policy will be updated and consent will be requested where required by law.

5. International data processing

Some of the services used by the Platform (such as Google services and Base44) may process data outside the European Union.

Where such processing occurs, we rely on the safeguards and contractual measures implemented by the relevant service providers, where applicable, in accordance with GDPR requirements.

Users are informed during onboarding that data processed through the Platform may be stored or processed outside the EU, and by continuing to use the Platform they acknowledge and accept this.

Further details regarding international data processing will be provided in the Privacy Policy.

6. How you can manage cookies

You can manage or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings.

Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect the functionality of the Platform.

7. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our services.

When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Platform after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Cookie Policy.
