This policy covers the corporate website merito.media and its versions in the available languages.

The complete identification appears in the legal notice.
1. Cookies and other technologies
Cookies are small data that the browser saves and returns to a site. They can maintain a session, protect a form or recognize visits. Local storage allows you to remember a choice without automatically sending it with each request.
Scripts, images and embedded content can also connect to other providers. The absence of cookies does not mean that they do not communicate connection data. Other personal processing activities are explained in the privacy policy.
2. What does this website use?
The website sends session and form protection cookies. In production it offers Google Analytics 4 with prior acceptance and remembers that choice in local storage. Contact incorporates Google Maps with automatic loading.
3. Cookie Inventory
Technical cookies have been checked against responses from the production server. The analytics ones correspond to the configured Google Analytics tag and can only be activated after accepting. No values or visitor IDs are published.

In production, technical cookies are sent via HTTPS, with a route / and SameSite=Lax. The browser can limit or eliminate them earlier. Its expiration does not determine how long a provider retains data already received.
4. Saving preferences
| Technology and key | Manager | Information and purpose | Persistence | Activation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
localStoragemerito.media-analytics-consent | Merito Media LLC | granted or denied- Remember if you authorize analytics, without adding a tracking identifier. | No automatic expiration. It is replaced when changing the choice or deleted when deleting the site data. | When accepting or rejecting in production. |
The choice is only saved for this origin and browser. If the browser prevents local storage, the choice is limited to the current page and the notice may reappear when browsing.
The proprietary code does not use sessionStorage or IndexedDB to remember languages or follow navigation. Post and language filters are expressed in URLs.
5. Audience measurement and advertising
Google Analytics 4 allows us to know the pages consulted and the use of the site through browser identifiers and technical information. Aggregate reports do not anonymize all data in the service.
The label is requested from www.googletagmanager.com after accepting. 28 days expiration, Google Signals and advertising personalization disabled, and a page address limited to the domain and path are configured. Data from the form are not deliberately incorporated into the measurement.
The revised corporate website does not integrate ad tags, commercial pixels or its own measurement of affiliate conversions. The financing of the group through advertising, affiliation or sponsorships does not imply that these technologies are installed here.
6. Google Maps and external images
When opening Contact, the browser requests the map from maps.google.com, which can redirect to www.google.com and load Google resources. The provider receives the IP and data from the request and the browser. You don't need to share your location to see the group's address.
Google Maps technologies may vary depending on your browser, third-party blocking, previous choices, and your session with Google. The hotfix does not allow for a complete inventory of map cookies to be established for all of those states; no unverified names or durations are attributed to it. Consult the information from Google about its cookies.
The analytics dashboard does not include a category of maps or lock them. You can limit third-party technologies with your browser or Google controls; These controls are not equivalent to a map blocking option within this website.
Story images can be uploaded from the media domain or your provider and communicate connection data to you. When you follow a link to another site, its own technologies and conditions apply.
7. Suppliers and data processing

8. Choose and withdraw analytics
In production the notice offers Reject and Accept analytics with the same presentation. There is only one optional purpose in that panel: Google Analytics. There is no additional vendor selection or acceptance of Google Maps.
Before accepting, the label is not loaded. Silence, scrolling or continuing browsing do not authorize it. You can review your choice from the permanent button Analytical cookies.
Rejecting saves the choice, prevents future loading of the tag, and attempts to remove it from this domain. _ga and _ga_*. If the label had already been loaded, measurement is disabled and the page automatically reloads. Technical cookies are maintained.
Removal does not delete data already sent to Google or cookies from your domains, and it does not stop the map. You can request information or exercise your rights from the group contact and use Google and browser controls.
9. Clear data and scope of choice
In the browser settings you can view, block or delete cookies and storage. Deleting technical cookies may reset the session or interrupt a delivery; Clearing the analytics preference may cause the notice to reappear.
Rejection is remembered the same as acceptance and you do not ask again just to reject. The choice is requested if there is no valid saved value. The current implementation does not renew consent by date or sync it across domains or devices.
This policy does not extend to group posts, newsletters, emails, or notifications. This website does not include reader accounts or its own subscription forms; linked services explain their technologies at source.

We will update this policy when technologies or how they operate change. Changing the text does not authorize new providers or purposes that require consent.
