Mixpanel uses cookies to collect data on how users interact with a website. These cookies are generally considered as first-party cookies, stored directly on the website by the website's owner. For instance, when a customer signs into the Mixpanel platform, a cookie is used to track how they use the software, providing insights about what is working or not working. Mixpanel's SDKs are treated as first-party cookies in the typical deployment. This is due to the broad EU interpretation that treats similar tracking technologies as falling under the definition of cookies. However, some product teams might consider alternatives to Mixpanel’s SDK, such as using Mixpanel’s server-side tracking or creating a proxy to send data to Mixpanel via its ingestion API.Mixpanel also provides a powerful consent management system, not tracking or collecting information from data subjects unless they opt-in to tracking or collection. Mixpanel’s SDKs also make it easy for data subjects to opt-out at any time.Unfortunately, there isn't a specific webpage listed in the provided sources that lists all the cookies used by Mixpanel and their purposes. For more detailed information, you may want to refer to Mixpanel's official documentation or reach out to their support team.Sources: - Cookies, Consent, and the GDPR: The Role of Privacy in a Product Analytics Strategy - Mixpanel JavaScript SDK Documentation
