1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that websites may place or store on a user’s computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when the user visits or interacts with a website.

Cookies can help websites function properly, remember preferences, understand how visitors interact with pages, maintain sessions, support security, and perform other website-related functions.

Some cookies may remain only during a browsing session, while others may remain on a device for a longer period depending on their purpose, configuration, expiration period, and the user’s browser or privacy settings.

2. Similar Technologies

In addition to traditional cookies, our website and authorized service providers may use pixels, tags, scripts, software development technologies, local storage, identifiers, and other similar technologies.

For purposes of this Cookie Policy, references to “cookies” may also include these similar technologies where appropriate.

3. Why We Use Cookies

MBM may use cookies and similar technologies for purposes including:

• Operating and securing our website
• Maintaining website functionality
• Remembering user preferences
• Supporting forms and scheduling tools
• Understanding website traffic and performance
• Identifying technical errors or website problems
• Improving website content and user experience
• Measuring advertising performance where permitted
• Supporting fraud prevention and security
• Maintaining consent and privacy preferences

4. Categories of Cookies

Depending on our website configuration and the technologies enabled, cookies may be grouped into the following categories:

The exact cookies and technologies present on our website may change as MBM adds, removes, updates, or reconfigures website features and third-party services.

5. Necessary Cookies

Necessary cookies support functions that are reasonably required for the website to operate, maintain security, preserve privacy preferences, provide requested functionality, or maintain website sessions.

These technologies may be used for purposes such as:

• Website security
• Fraud prevention
• Network management
• Session management
• Cookie-consent preferences
• Secure authentication
• Basic website functionality

6. Analytics Cookies

Analytics technologies help MBM understand how visitors interact with our website, which pages receive traffic, how visitors reach the website, how website features perform, and where improvements may be appropriate.

Depending on our configuration, analytics technologies may process information such as IP-related information, device type, browser information, approximate location, referral source, pages visited, session information, and website interactions.

Where required or implemented, analytics technologies may remain inactive until the visitor provides the applicable consent.

7. Functional Cookies

Functional technologies may support enhanced website features or services requested by visitors, such as scheduling tools, embedded content, preferences, forms, or other interactive website functionality.

Disabling functional technologies may affect the availability or performance of certain optional website features.

8. Advertising & Marketing Cookies

Advertising and marketing technologies may be used to understand advertising performance, measure conversions, limit or personalize advertising, create or measure audiences, or understand interactions with marketing campaigns.

Depending on the technology and applicable privacy law, advertising providers may receive or process online identifiers, device information, browser information, IP-related information, referral information, website interactions, or advertising-related activity.

9. Technologies & Service Providers

Depending on our current website configuration, MBM may use or integrate technologies provided by companies or platforms associated with website hosting, analytics, advertising, scheduling, payments, security, forms, and other website functionality.

These may include technologies associated with:

• WordPress
• Hostinger
• Google Analytics
• Google Tag Manager
• Google Ads
• Google Search Console
• Meta Pixel
• Scheduling platforms such as Calendly
• Payment processors such as Stripe
• Consent-management technologies
• Secure Client Portal providers

The presence, names, purposes, and duration of particular cookies may change as these technologies are updated or reconfigured.

10. Cookie Consent & Prior Consent

Where required by applicable law or implemented as part of MBM’s privacy practices, non-essential cookies and tracking technologies may be controlled through a consent management platform.

The consent system may prevent designated non-essential technologies from becoming active until the visitor makes the applicable privacy choice.

11. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Visitors may be able to change their cookie preferences through the “Your Privacy Choices,” “Cookie Settings,” or similar privacy control provided on the website.

Where available, this control allows visitors to reopen the consent interface and modify previously selected preferences.

Changing cookie preferences does not necessarily remove information already processed before a preference was changed where such processing was lawful.

12. Browser Controls

Most web browsers provide settings that allow users to delete, block, restrict, or receive notifications concerning cookies.

Blocking all cookies through a browser may affect website functionality, including login sessions, preference storage, security features, forms, scheduling tools, or other website components.

13. Google Technologies

Depending on MBM’s website configuration and visitor privacy choices, our website may use Google technologies such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Google Ads, and related Google services.

These technologies may help us understand website performance, manage website tags, measure advertising activity, and evaluate interactions with our website or advertisements.

The information processed by Google technologies depends on the service, configuration, privacy settings, consent choices, and Google’s own data practices.

14. Meta Technologies

Depending on our website configuration and applicable consent preferences, MBM may use Meta Pixel or related Meta technologies to measure website events, advertising performance, or interactions with campaigns.

Meta may process certain device, browser, online identifier, referral, and website-interaction information according to its own policies and the configuration of the technology.

Where required or implemented, Meta advertising technologies may remain blocked until the applicable visitor consent is provided.

15. Scheduling & Functional Technologies

MBM may integrate a scheduling provider, such as Calendly or another authorized scheduling service, to allow visitors or clients to request or schedule appointments.

Scheduling services may use necessary or functional technologies and may process information voluntarily submitted by the user, such as name, email address, telephone number, appointment preferences, or other scheduling information.

Visitors should not enter Social Security numbers, tax return information, banking credentials, complete credit reports, or other highly sensitive information into ordinary scheduling fields.

16. Payment Technologies

MBM may use an authorized payment processor, such as Stripe or another payment provider, to facilitate electronic payments.

Payment providers may use cookies or similar technologies for payment processing, authentication, fraud prevention, security, and related purposes.

Where payment card information is entered directly into an authorized payment processor’s environment, MBM does not intend to store complete payment card numbers through its general website infrastructure.

17. Secure Client Portal

MBM may provide a Secure Client Portal through which authorized clients can transmit or access sensitive professional information.

The Secure Client Portal may use cookies or similar technologies for authentication, security, session management, fraud prevention, and other functions necessary to operate the portal.

Necessary security or authentication technologies used by the Secure Client Portal may operate differently from optional analytics or advertising cookies used on the public website.

18. Tax & Sensitive Information

19. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies and similar technologies may be placed, controlled, or processed by third-party service providers rather than directly by MBM.

Third parties may independently determine certain aspects of their data processing practices. MBM does not control every technical or privacy practice of independently operated third-party services.

Visitors should review the privacy and cookie information made available by relevant third-party providers for additional information about their practices.

20. Cookie Duration & Retention

Cookies may be either session-based or persistent. Session cookies generally expire when the browser session ends, while persistent cookies may remain for a defined period or until removed.

The duration of individual cookies depends on their purpose, provider, configuration, and subsequent technology updates.

Because our website and third-party technologies may change, MBM may use an automated cookie scanner or consent-management system to help identify and categorize technologies currently detected on the website.

21. Privacy Signals & State Rights

Depending on applicable law, website configuration, browser technology, and the consent-management system used by MBM, certain legally recognized privacy preference signals may be processed or honored where required.

Residents of certain U.S. states may also have rights concerning certain forms of targeted advertising, sharing, or processing of personal information. Additional information is provided in our Privacy Policy and through any applicable “Your Privacy Choices” control.

22. Changes to This Cookie Policy

MBM may update this Cookie Policy as our website, consent-management system, technologies, service providers, privacy practices, or legal requirements change.

The current version will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date.

Because cookies and website technologies can change over time, visitors are encouraged to review this Cookie Policy and the available cookie preference controls periodically.
