Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 18, 2025

Our Commitment to Your Privacy

At YourThinkingMind, we believe transparency is essential when it comes to how we handle your personal information. This page explains everything you need to know about what data we gather when you visit our website, why we need it, and how we keep it safe.

When you browse https://yourthinkingmind.com/, you’re trusting us with certain information, and we take that responsibility seriously. This policy breaks down our practices in plain language so you can make informed choices about sharing your data with us.

What Information Do We Gather?

Details You Share With Us Directly

Sometimes you’ll choose to share information with us voluntarily. Here’s when that happens:

Through Our Contact Form: When you reach out to us using the contact form on our website, we’ll ask for your name and email address. We need these details so we can respond to your questions, feedback, or concerns.

Newsletter Subscriptions: If you decide to subscribe to receive updates from us, we’ll collect your email address. This allows us to send you our latest articles, insights, and content that we think you’ll find valuable.

We only collect information you consciously decide to share with us—nothing more.

Information That’s Collected Automatically

When you visit our website, certain technical details are automatically recorded. This is standard practice for websites and helps us understand how people use our site. Here’s what gets logged:

• Which web browser you’re using (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc)
• What type of device you’re on (computer, phone, tablet)
• Your general location (based on IP address)
• Which pages you visit and how long you spend on them
• The website you came from before arriving at ours
• When you visited our site

This technical data helps us improve your experience and make our content more useful.

How We Use the Information We Collect

Every piece of information we collect serves a specific purpose:

Communication: When you contact us, we use your name and email to have a conversation with you and address whatever you’ve reached out about.

Keeping You Updated: If you’ve subscribed to our newsletter, we’ll use your email to share our newest content, articles, and insights about thinking and the mind.

Website Improvements: We analyze visitor patterns and behavior to understand what content resonates with our readers, which pages are most helpful, and where we can make improvements.

Legal Requirements: Sometimes we may need to use information to comply with laws and regulations that apply to our website.

Understanding Cookies and How They Work

Let’s talk about cookies—those small files that websites store on your device. Think of them as tiny notes that help websites remember you and your preferences.

What Exactly Are Cookies?

Cookies are simple text files that live on your computer or phone. When you visit a website, it might save a cookie to remember things like your preferences or to understand how you interact with the site.

The Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies: These are the cookies that keep our website working properly. Without them, certain features wouldn’t function correctly.

Analytics Cookies: We use Google Analytics to understand visitor behavior. These cookies help us see which articles are popular, how people navigate our site, and what we can do better.

Advertising Cookies: These come from Google AdSense and help display relevant advertisements to you based on your interests and browsing patterns.

Taking Control of Cookies

You’re in complete control of cookies. Every modern browser lets you manage them:

• See which cookies are stored and delete specific ones
• Block cookies from certain websites
• Prevent all cookies from being saved
• Clear all cookies when closing your browser
• Choose to block only third-party cookies

Keep in mind that blocking cookies might affect how our website works for you. Some features might not function as smoothly.

Advertising on Our Website – Google AdSense

We partner with Google AdSense to display advertisements on YourThinkingMind. Here’s what you should know about how this works.

How Advertising Works on Our Site

Google AdSense uses sophisticated technology to show you advertisements that might actually interest you. They do this by:

• Looking at which websites you’ve visited before
• Understanding your browsing patterns and interests
• Using cookies to remember your preferences
• Showing ads based on your previous visits to our site and others

Google uses something called the DoubleClick cookie to make this personalized advertising possible.

You Can Opt Out of Personalized Ads

If you’d rather not see personalized advertisements, you have options:

• Adjust your Google Ads Settings at:google.com/settings/ads
• Use the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page:networkadvertising.org/choices/
• Visit the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page:aboutads.info/choices/

Google Analytics – Understanding Our Visitors

We use Google Analytics, a service provided by Google, to gain insights into how people use our website.

What Google Analytics Does

Google Analytics uses cookies to collect anonymous information about your visit. This might include:

• How long do you spend on different pages
• Which articles did you read
• How you navigate through our site
• Your general location (country/city level)

This information gets sent to Google’s servers, where it’s analyzed and turned into helpful reports that we use to improve our website.

Your IP address is also collected, but it’s used only for analytical purposes and is stored on Google’s servers in the United States.

Opting Out of Google Analytics

If you prefer not to have your visit tracked by Google Analytics, you can install Google’s opt-out browser extension. Get it here: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

Keeping Your Information Safe

We take reasonable precautions to protect the personal information you share with us from unauthorized access, misuse, or disclosure. This includes technical safeguards and secure practices.

However, we need to be honest: no method of transmitting data over the internet is completely foolproof. While we do our best to protect your information using industry-standard practices, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

How Long Do We Keep Your Information

We don’t keep your personal information forever. We retain it only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, unless the law requires us to keep it longer.

For example, if you contact us with a question, we’ll keep your email long enough to resolve your inquiry and for a reasonable period afterward. Newsletter subscriptions remain active until you choose to unsubscribe.

International Visitors and Data Transfers

YourThinkingMind operates from Bangladesh, but we welcome readers from around the world. If you’re visiting from another country, here’s what you should know:

Your information might be transferred to and processed in Bangladesh or other countries where our service providers (like Google) operate. These countries may have different data protection laws in your home country.

By using our website, you understand and consent to this international transfer of information.

Children’s Privacy Protection

Our website isn’t designed for children under 13 years old, and we don’t knowingly collect information from them.

If you’re a parent or guardian and discover that your child has provided us with personal information, please let us know immediately. We’ll take steps to remove that information from our systems as quickly as possible.

Links to Other Websites

You’ll occasionally find links to other websites within our content. These external sites are not under our control, and we can’t be responsible for their privacy practices or content.

We encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit. Just because we link to a site doesn’t mean we endorse its privacy practices.

Updates to This Privacy Policy

As our website evolves and privacy laws change, we may need to update this policy from time to time. When we do, we’ll change the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.

We encourage you to check back periodically to stay informed about how we’re protecting your information. If we make significant changes, we might also notify you through a banner on our website or via email if you’ve subscribed to our updates.

Your continued use of our website after we post changes means you accept the updated policy.
