Cookie Policy
Last updated: 18 May 2025 · Effective: 18 May 2025
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as your preferences or whether you have acknowledged a notice — so that the experience feels more consistent when you return.
Cookies do not carry personal information on their own, and most contain only a reference code that a server can recognise. They cannot run programs or deliver software to your device.
2. How We Use Cookies
Our website at mettacounad.biz uses a small number of cookies. We have kept this to a minimum because we believe your visit should feel calm and unobserved. We use cookies only where they serve a clear purpose related to how the site functions or how we understand visitor needs.
We do not use cookies for advertising, remarketing, or profiling visitors for commercial purposes.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function. Without them, certain features — such as your cookie preference record — would not work. These cannot be disabled without affecting the basic operation of the site.
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| cookieConsent | Records your response to our cookie notice so we do not show it on every page | 12 months | First-party |
| PHPSESSID | Standard PHP session identifier; allows the server to associate requests in a single visit | Session | First-party |
3.2 Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the site — for example, which pages are most helpful and where people tend to leave. This information is used in aggregate and does not identify you personally. We use it solely to improve the quality of the site and the clarity of our information.
These cookies are set only if you accept analytics cookies when our cookie notice appears.
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes visitors for usage statistics (Google Analytics) | 2 years | First-party |
| _ga_* | Persists session state in Google Analytics 4 | 2 years | First-party |
| _gid | Distinguishes visitors for 24-hour session tracking | 24 hours | First-party |
| _gat | Limits the rate of requests to Google Analytics servers | 1 minute | First-party |
3.3 Embedded Content
Some pages include embedded content from third-party services, such as a Google Maps frame to help you find our office. When embedded content loads, the third-party service may place its own cookies on your device. These are governed by the privacy policy of the respective third party, not by this policy.
Embedded third-party services used on this site include:
- Google Maps — used on our contact page to show our office location. Google's privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy.
4. Cookies We Do Not Use
To be clear about our approach, we do not use:
- Advertising or retargeting cookies of any kind
- Social media tracking pixels
- Cookies that collect sensitive personal data
- Fingerprinting or device-tracking technologies beyond standard cookies
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit our website, a brief notice will appear at the bottom of the page. You may accept or decline analytics cookies at that point. Your strictly necessary cookies will be set regardless, as they are needed for the site to work.
You may also change or withdraw your cookie preferences at any time using your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View the cookies currently stored on your device
- Delete individual cookies or all cookies
- Block all cookies, or block cookies from specific websites
- Receive a notification when a cookie is set
Please consult your browser's help documentation for instructions. Common browser settings pages are typically found under Settings > Privacy or Settings > Security.
Please be aware that disabling all cookies may affect the functionality of certain parts of this website.
6. Local Storage
In addition to cookies, this website uses browser local storage to remember your cookie preference. Local storage is similar to a cookie but stored slightly differently on your device. The data held in local storage does not leave your browser and is not transmitted to our servers with each request.
You may clear local storage through your browser's developer tools or privacy settings.
7. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" signal that requests that websites not track user activity. At present there is no agreed standard for how websites should respond to this signal. We respect your right to privacy and encourage you to use the cookie preferences provided on this site rather than relying solely on browser-level signals.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or in applicable regulations. Any updated version will be published on this page with a revised effective date. We encourage you to check back periodically if you would like to stay informed.
