Cookie Policy
How we use cookies and how you can manage your preferences.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners.
Cookies may be "first-party" (set by us) or "third-party" (set by another organisation whose content appears on our Site). They may be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).
2. Types of Cookies We Use
2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Site to function. They enable core features such as security, session management, and load balancing. Without them, services you request cannot be provided. These cookies do not require your consent under applicable EU law.
2.2 Preference / Functionality Cookies
These cookies remember your choices and settings to provide a more personalised experience. For example, they may remember that you have already accepted or declined our cookie banner, so we don't ask again.
2.3 Analytics Cookies
With your consent, we use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use our Site — which pages are most visited, how long visitors stay, where they come from, and where they encounter difficulties. This helps us improve the Site's content and usability. These cookies collect aggregated, anonymised data.
2.4 Marketing Cookies
At present, we do not use marketing or advertising cookies on mehermsg.com.

4. Third-Party Cookies
We may use the following third-party services that place cookies on your device (only where consent is given for non-essential cookies):
- Google Analytics (Google LLC): Web analytics service. Google's privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy. Google Analytics data is anonymised before processing where possible, and we have enabled IP anonymisation.
We do not embed social media widgets, advertising networks, or other tracking technologies that would place additional third-party cookies on your device.
5. Managing & Deleting Cookies
You can control and manage cookies in several ways:
5.1 Via Our Cookie Banner
When you first visit the Site, you are presented with a cookie banner offering you the option to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser's local storage (the mehermsg_cookies key) or by clearing all site data, which will cause the banner to reappear on your next visit.
5.2 Via Your Browser Settings
All major browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies through their settings. Please consult your browser's help documentation:
Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Site.
5.3 Opt-Out of Analytics
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
6. Your Consent
We use strictly necessary cookies without consent, as they are essential for the Site to operate. For all other cookies, we request your consent through the cookie banner displayed on your first visit. You are free to accept or decline.
Declining non-essential cookies will not prevent you from using the Site, though some features may be limited. Your consent preference is stored for up to 12 months, after which we will ask again.
This cookie policy applies in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and complies with the requirements of the EU ePrivacy Directive and the French CNIL guidelines on cookies.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies changes or as regulatory requirements evolve. Any material changes will be reflected in an updated "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We recommend reviewing this page periodically.
