This Cookie Policy is a component of Mevricks Ai’s broader commitment to user privacy, as detailed in our Privacy Policy. While the Privacy Policy provides an overarching view of how we handle your personal data, this document specifically addresses the use of cookies and similar technologies as a means of data collection. It is important that you read this Cookie Policy in conjunction with our Privacy Policy to fully understand how your data is collected, used, and protected across all of our services.
2. What Are Cookies?
2.1 Definition of Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device—such as your computer, smartphone, or tablet—when you visit a website. These files are generated by the server of the website you are visiting and are sent to your web browser. Cookies play a crucial role in enhancing your online experience by allowing the website to remember your actions and preferences over time, such as login information, language settings, and other customizable features. By storing this information, cookies enable seamless navigation and a more personalized experience during your interactions with the site.
2.2 Types of Cookies Used
Mevricks utilizes several types of cookies to ensure the optimal functioning of our website and to improve your user experience:
Session Cookies: These cookies are temporary and only remain on your device for the duration of your browsing session. Once you close your browser, session cookies are automatically deleted. They are primarily used to maintain the state of your session, enabling actions such as moving between pages without needing to log in again.
Persistent Cookies: Unlike session cookies, persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them. They store information such as login credentials or language preferences, making it easier for you to return to our website and continue where you left off. Persistent cookies help streamline your interaction with our services by remembering your settings and preferences across multiple visits.
First-Party Cookies: These are cookies set directly by Mevricks' website. They are often used to store your preferences and ensure the website functions correctly. For example, first-party cookies might be used to remember your login details or to keep track of items in your shopping cart.
Third-Party Cookies: These cookies are placed on your device by entities other than Mevricks, such as advertisers or analytics providers. Third-party cookies are used to track your browsing behavior across different websites, allowing these entities to deliver targeted advertisements or collect data on how users interact with various sites. While third-party cookies can enhance your browsing experience by providing more relevant content, they also involve the sharing of data with external organizations.
This section provides a clear understanding of what cookies are, their various types, and how they function, laying the groundwork for further discussions on their use within the Mevricks ecosystem.
3. How We Use Cookies
3.1 Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are fundamental to the operation of the Mevricks website. These cookies enable core functionalities, such as secure logins, data protection, and network management. Without these cookies, certain services and features on the website may not function correctly. For instance, they are used to manage session data, maintain your login status as you navigate through secure areas of the site, and ensure that the site’s performance is stable and secure. These cookies do not collect personal data for marketing purposes and cannot be disabled through the settings on our site.
3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies
Performance and analytics cookies help Mevricks understand how users interact with the website. These cookies collect information about how you use the site, such as which pages you visit most frequently and whether you encounter any errors. The data collected is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it does not personally identify you. This information is used solely to improve the website's functionality, optimize user experience, and identify areas where the site can be enhanced. By analyzing this data, we can make informed decisions about how to improve our services.
3.3 Functionality Cookies
3.4 Targeting and Advertising Cookies
Functionality cookies allow Mevricks to remember the choices you make during your visit, such as your language preferences or the region you are in. These cookies enable us to provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, they may be used to remember your login details, so you don’t have to re-enter them each time you visit. Functionality cookies also enable you to access customized content based on your past interactions with our site. While these cookies can be disabled, doing so may reduce the quality and convenience of your experience on our website.
​
​
​
​​​​​​​​
Targeting and advertising cookies are used to deliver content and advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. These cookies track your browsing habits across various websites and build a profile of your preferences, allowing advertisers to display ads that are tailored to your interests. They also help to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns by tracking user engagement with the ads shown. While these cookies can provide you with a more personalized online experience, they involve the sharing of data with third-party advertisers. If you choose to disable these cookies, you may still see ads, but they will be less relevant to you.
3.5 Social Media Cookies
Social media cookies enable you to share content from Mevricks' website on social media platforms and facilitate interaction with our content through those platforms. These cookies are typically set by the social media providers and may track your interactions with their services. For instance, if you share an article from our site on your social media profile, the social media platform may use a cookie to track that action and show you related content or advertisements. While these cookies enhance your experience by integrating social media functionalities, they also allow the social media platforms to collect data on your browsing behavior for their purposes.
4. Managing Cookies
4.1 Your Consent
By using the Mevricks website, you consent to the use of cookies as outlined in this policy. This consent allows us to enhance your browsing experience, deliver personalized content, and analyze site traffic. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your browser settings to block or delete cookies. However, please note that disabling certain cookies may impact the functionality of our site and your overall user experience.
4.2 Browser Controls
4.3 Disabling Cookies
4.4 Third-Party Opt-Outs
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can configure your browser to block or delete cookies, as well as to notify you when cookies are being set. The process for managing cookies varies depending on the browser you use. For example, in Google Chrome, you can go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data to adjust your preferences. In Mozilla Firefox, similar options are available under Options > Privacy & Security. For detailed instructions, please consult the help documentation of your specific browser. By adjusting these settings, you can decide which cookies to accept, block, or delete.
.
If you choose to disable cookies, certain features and functionalities of the Mevricks website may not work as intended. Essential cookies, which are necessary for the basic operation of our site, cannot be disabled through our cookie management tool. However, you can disable non-essential cookies, such as those used for analytics and advertising, through your browser settings or by using third-party opt-out tools. Disabling these cookies may result in a less personalized browsing experience, as your preferences will not be remembered, and you may need to manually enter certain information each time you visit our site.
In addition to managing cookies through your browser, you can opt-out of cookies set by third parties, such as advertisers and analytics providers. These third-party cookies are often used to track your behavior across different websites and deliver targeted ads. To opt out, you can visit the websites of these third-party providers and follow their opt-out instructions. For example, you can opt-out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on. Similarly, you can manage your preferences for targeted ads through platforms like the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) or the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI). These tools allow you to control how your data is used by third-party providers, ensuring that you maintain control over your online privacy.
5. Third-Party Cookies and Tracking Technologies
5.1 Use of Third-Party Cookies
Mevricks collaborates with trusted third-party service providers who may place cookies on your device when you interact with our website. These cookies are used for various purposes, including analytics, advertising, and social media integration. Third-party cookies allow these providers to track your browsing behavior across different websites, creating profiles based on your interests and activities. This tracking helps them deliver targeted advertisements, measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns, and gather data to improve their services. While these cookies enhance your online experience by providing relevant content, they also involve the collection and sharing of data with external entities.
5.2 Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, Mevricks uses other tracking technologies, such as web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage, to monitor user interactions and enhance site functionality. Web beacons and pixel tags are small graphic images embedded in emails or web pages that track your engagement with the content, such as whether an email has been opened or a link has been clicked. These technologies work in conjunction with cookies to provide us with detailed insights into user behavior, allowing us to optimize our website and marketing strategies. Local storage, on the other hand, is used to store data locally on your device, enabling us to remember your preferences and settings even after you close your browser.
5.3 Third-Party Privacy Policies
While Mevricks takes great care in selecting third-party providers, it’s important to note that we do not control how these third parties use the data they collect through their cookies and tracking technologies. Each third party operates under its own privacy policy, which governs its data collection, usage, and sharing practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third parties to fully understand how your data is being used. By doing so, you can make informed decisions about your online privacy and manage your interactions with these providers effectively.
