  • cookies that make the Website work properly for you and enable you to browse the Website securely;
  • cookies that collect data about your use of the Website which is used to help MEA Platforms to improve online products and/or services;
  • cookies that remember your preferences and make the Website easier for you to use; and
  • cookies that are placed by third party services we make use of to enhance the information we presents online. MEA Platforms has no control over these third party cookies.

These cookies are placed on your device either by us or by the third parties whose services we use as part of the Website.

Some cookies are retained in your browser for only as long as you visit the Website, while others persist for a longer specified or unspecified period.

HOW LONG WILL COOKIES STAY ON MY DEVICE?

The length of time a cookie will stay on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a “persistent” or “session” cookie. Session cookies will only stay on your device until you stop browsing. Persistent cookies stay on your computer or mobile device until they expire or are deleted.

WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES ARE USED BY MEA PLATFORMS?

Our Website may use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer or mobile device until you delete them).

You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the Service will not then work.
  • Analytical or performance cookies. These allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
