Cookie Policy
Let’s talk about cookies. Not the delicious kind, the digital kind that help websites work better.
What Are Cookies, Really?
Cookies are tiny text files that websites store on your device. Think of them like bookmarks that help a website remember you when you come back.
They’re not programs. They can’t install malware. They can’t access your files. They’re just little notes that say things like “this person was here before” or “they prefer dark mode.
Why We Use Cookies at Mentorix
We use cookies to make your experience smoother and to understand what’s working on our site. Here’s exactly what we’re doing:
Remembering Your Preferences
So you don't have to see that cookie banner every single time you visit. We remember if you've already made your choice.
Understanding How You Use Our Site
We want to know what pages are helpful and which ones confuse people. If everyone's bouncing off a certain page, we know we need to fix it.
Keeping Your Login Secure
If we launch member areas or login features, cookies help keep your session secure so you don't get logged out every 2 minutes.
Processing Payments Safely
When you pay for a program, Paystack (our payment processor) uses cookies to keep your transaction secure. We don't see your card details—Paystack handles that.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies (The Must-Haves)
These make the website actually work. Without them, you can’t navigate pages, submit forms, or pay for programs. These cookies don’t track you, they just keep things functional.
Examples: Google Analytics (if we use it), page view tracking, time-on-site tracking.
Analytics Cookies (The Learning Tools)
These help us understand how people use the site. We might see that most people visit the UX Mentorship page first, or that mobile users spend more time on the blog. This helps us improve.
Examples: Google Analytics (if we use it), page view tracking, time-on-site tracking.
Preference Cookies (The Memory Keepers)
These remember your choices so you don’t have to keep making them. Like if you dismissed the cookie banner, we won’t show it again.
Examples: Cookie consent status, language preferences, UI settings.
What We Don't Do With Cookies
We don't sell your data.
Ever. Not to advertisers, not to data brokers, not to anyone.
We don't track you across the internet.
Our cookies only work on our website. They don't follow you to Facebook, YouTube, or anywhere else.
We don't use invasive ad tracking.
We're not retargeting you with creepy ads that follow you around the web.
We don't access your personal files.
Cookies can't read anything on your computer except the data they stored themselves.
Third-Party Cookies (Not Ours, But Here's Why)
Sometimes other services we use might set their own cookies. We don’t control these, but we only work with trusted providers.
Paystack (Payment Processing)
When you pay for a program, Paystack uses cookies to process transactions securely. They handle all payment data, not us.
Google Analytics
We might use Google Analytics to understand site traffic. We anonymize IP addresses and don’t share personally identifiable information.
Email Services
We embed email signup forms, so email services might use cookies to prevent spam and track form conversions.
You're in Control
You can decide what happens with cookies. Here are your options:
Decline Cookies on Our Site
When you see our cookie banner, just click “No Thanks.” The site will still work, but we won’t remember your preferences or track analytics.

How Long Do Our Cookies Stick Around?
