Cookie Policy

Version: 1.0

Effective date: February 24, 2026

This cookie policy explains how Manto ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our platform or marketplace. We are committed to transparency in our data practices, ensuring you have full control over your digital footprint.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to the owners of the site.

2. How Manto uses cookies

We use cookies for a limited set of purposes. In line with our "privacy-first" philosophy, we minimize the use of non-essential trackers.

A. Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of Manto. They enable core features such as security, network management, and account authentication. Without these cookies, the platform cannot function properly.

  • Consent status: Not required under EU/UK law as they are strictly necessary for the service you requested.

B. Functional cookies

These cookies allow Manto to remember choices you make, such as your language preference or your marketplace region. They provide a more personalized experience but are not vital for the platform's basic operation.

C. Performance and analytics cookies

We use limited, privacy-respecting analytics tools to understand how users interact with Manto. This helps us improve our interface and AI response times.

  • Note: We do not combine this data with other datasets or use it to create individual user profiles.

  • EU/UK compliance: In accordance with 2026 reforms, we use aggregated audience measurement that does not require individual consent where it is low-impact and first-party.

3. Marketplace and third-party cookies

When you interact with the Manto marketplace or content from external partners (LinkedIn thought leaders), certain third-party services may set cookies on your device.

  • External content: If a playbook includes an embedded video or external link provided by a partner, that third party (e.g., YouTube, LinkedIn) may use their own cookies.

  • Control: Manto does not control these third-party cookies. We recommend reviewing the privacy and cookie policies of these external providers.

4. Your choices and consent

Manto respects your right to privacy. We provide a clear, neutral consent mechanism:

  • One-click rejection: Our cookie banner provides an "Accept all" and a "Reject all" option of equal visual weight. You can reject all non-essential cookies with a single click.

  • Browser settings: Most web browsers allow you to manage cookie preferences through their settings. You can set your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent.

  • Global privacy control (GPC): Manto is configured to automatically recognize and honor GPC signals from your browser, treating them as a valid request to opt-out of non-essential tracking.

5. Data retention

Cookies set by Manto have varying lifespans:

  • Session cookies: These are temporary and expire once you close your browser.

  • Persistent cookies: These remain on your device for a set period (typically no longer than 6 months) or until you manually delete them.

6. Updates to this policy

We may update this cookie policy to reflect changes in our technology or legal requirements. We encourage you to review this page periodically for the latest information on our use of cookies.
