Cookie Policy
Turnkey Dashboards • A Service of Mindset Studios (A Bullock Enterprises Company)
This Cookie Policy explains how Mindset Studios, doing business as Turnkey Dashboards (“Turnkey Dashboards,” “we,” “us,” or “our“), utilizes cookies, pixels, local storage objects, and related tracking technologies across the Turnkey Dashboards website, customer billing portal, and dashboard delivery interfaces.
This Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
1. What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?
1.1 Cookies: Cookies are small data files placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device by websites that you visit. Cookies enable websites to recognize your device, maintain active sessions, safeguard account security, store interface preferences, and analyze user navigation.
1.2 Similar Technologies: We may also utilize web beacons, tracking pixels, scripts, and local storage mechanisms (such as HTML5 local storage) that perform similar technical functions. In this Policy, all such tracking mechanisms are collectively referred to as “cookies.”
2. Categories of Cookies Deployed by Turnkey Dashboards
2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies (Essential): These cookies are required for the technical operation, security, and administrative integrity of our website and client portal. They cannot be deactivated within our systems:
- Session & Authentication Management: Used to identify you when you log in to your account, authenticate secure access to client dashboards, and maintain your active session.
- E-Commerce & Billing (WooCommerce): Required to maintain your cart contents, track checkout progression, and securely process subscription transactions.
- Security & Fraud Mitigation: Employed to verify authorized shortcode embeds, detect brute-force login attempts, and prevent cross-site request forgery (CSRF).
2.2 Functional and Preference Cookies: These cookies enable enhanced platform features and personalized interface presentation:
- Display Preferences: Remembering interface display selections, such as theme contrast settings, billing toggle preferences (Monthly vs. Annual), and dashboard filtering criteria.
- Consent State: Storing your cookie consent preferences so you are not prompted repeatedly across sessions.
2.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies: These cookies allow us to measure, monitor, and optimize the technical performance and user experience of our public marketing website:
- Site Usage Metrics: Tracking page view counts, visitor bounce rates, session duration, and traffic acquisition channels.
- Google Analytics: We deploy standard Google Analytics tags to gather aggregate, pseudonymized metrics regarding website engagement. IP anonymization protocols are applied where required.
2.4 Marketing and Attribution Cookies (When Active): If deployed, these technologies measure the performance of our digital marketing campaigns and track referral channels. Turnkey Dashboards does not deploy third-party advertising networks that track you across unrelated websites for third-party commercial marketing.
3. Customer Website Embeds vs. Public Site Cookies
3.1 Clear Operational Distinction: A critical distinction exists between cookies deployed on the Turnkey Dashboards marketing website and the technologies running on our customers’ websites.
3.2 Embedded Dashboards: When you embed a Turnkey Dashboard on your own website via our WordPress shortcode or secure iframe, the embed operates within an isolated, sandboxed environment. The dashboard embed reads API data provided by your analytics accounts; it does not deploy third-party advertising or tracking cookies onto your website visitors.
3.3 Customer Legal Responsibility: You remain solely responsible for maintaining your own independent Cookie Policy, privacy notices, and cookie consent banners governing the tracking scripts, analytics tags (GA4), and pixels deployed on your domain.
4. Managing Your Cookie Choices and Preferences
4.1 Browser Settings: Most modern web browsers enable you to inspect, manage, filter, and delete cookies through their settings menus. You can configure your browser to reject all cookies or notify you when a cookie is placed.
4.2 Impact of Disabling Cookies: Because strictly necessary cookies are essential to maintain active user sessions, handle WooCommerce subscriptions, and authenticate shortcode licenses, disabling all cookies will cause client portal authentication and checkout features to malfunction.
4.3 Opt-Out of Google Analytics: You can prevent your marketing site visit data from being recorded by Google Analytics by installing the official Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On provided by Google.
5. Global Privacy Control and Do-Not-Track
5.1 Global Privacy Control (GPC): Where required by applicable statutory consumer privacy legislation, our systems are configured to recognize and respect legally binding opt-out preference signals such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC).
5.2 Do-Not-Track (DNT): While we monitor emerging standards, there is currently no universal technical standard for processing legacy browser “Do Not Track” signals. Consequently, our systems respond to standardized statutory signals (such as GPC) rather than generic DNT browser flags.
6. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may periodically update this Cookie Policy to reflect technical updates to our platform, plugin stack, payment gateways, or regulatory obligations. The revised version will be effective immediately upon publication with the stated “Last Updated” date.
