Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 10 February 2026
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. They allow the website to remember information about your visit — such as your preferences or whether you've accepted our cookie notice — so the experience is smoother on subsequent visits.
Cookies are widely used and generally harmless. They cannot run programmes or carry viruses. This policy explains which cookies we use, why, and how you can control them.
Cookies We Use
We use four categories of cookies on the Meridium website:
Essential Cookies
These are necessary for the website to function. They manage session data, maintain basic security, and remember your cookie preference. They cannot be disabled.
- cookieConsent — Stores your cookie preference. Duration: 12 months.
Analytics Cookies
These help us understand how visitors use our website — which pages are visited most, how users navigate, and where they arrive from. Data is aggregated and anonymised; no individual is identified. We use Google Analytics for this purpose.
- _ga, _ga_* — Google Analytics visitor and session identifiers. Duration: up to 2 years.
- _gid — Distinguishes users for 24 hours.
Marketing Cookies
Used by advertising platforms to show relevant content to visitors across the web. These cookies track your browsing activity to build a profile of your interests. We may use Google Ads or LinkedIn Insight for campaign measurement.
Preference Cookies
These remember your settings and choices to personalise your experience — for example, display preferences or language settings.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site are placed by third-party services, including Google Analytics and advertising platforms. These parties have their own privacy policies governing how they use data collected via their cookies. We encourage you to review those policies directly.
Cookie Duration
Session cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period — typically between 24 hours and 2 years depending on the cookie — or until you manually delete them.
Your Cookie Preferences
You can manage your preferences using the controls below. Essential cookies cannot be disabled as they are required for the website to work.
Managing Cookies in Your Browser
You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect how the website works.

On mobile devices, cookie settings are typically found within each browser's Settings or Privacy menu. The steps are similar to their desktop equivalents.
Your Rights
You have the right to withdraw your consent to non-essential cookies at any time, either by updating your preferences above or by clearing cookies in your browser. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before the withdrawal.
