Cookie Summary: What you need to know
Last Updated: December 19, 2025
To make our website and the MCP platform work properly, we use small files called “cookies.” Here is the simple version of how we use them:
To keep the lights on (Strictly Necessary): Some cookies are essential. They remember that you are logged in, keep your session secure, and—ironically—remember if you have told us “no” to other cookies. You cannot turn these off because the site wouldn’t work without them.
We don’t sell your data: We don’t use these cookies to follow you around the internet or sell your information to advertisers. We only use them to make your experience with MCP Insight smoother.
Our Promise: we believe privacy should be straightforward. You are in control, and you can change your mind and update your settings at any time using the “Cookie Settings” button at the bottom of the page.
