Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on the user's browser or device when they visit it. It allows, among other things, preferences to be remembered, sessions to be maintained or usage statistics to be produced. The term "cookies" also covers other technologies for storing and retrieving data on the user's device, such as the browser's local storage (localStorage) or pixels.

2. Who uses cookies on this Website?

Cookies may be managed by Meridiana ("first-party cookies") or by third parties that provide services to Meridiana, such as Google, Intuit (Mailchimp) or embedded video providers ("third-party cookies"). Third parties may process the information collected through their cookies in accordance with their own privacy policies.

3. Legal basis

Technical or strictly necessary cookies for the provision of the service are used on the basis of Meridiana's legitimate interest and are exempt from the consent requirement under Article 22(2) LSSI-CE.

All other cookies (analytics, non-essential personalisation and advertising or third-party cookies) are only installed if you give your consent through the cookie settings panel. You may withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

4. Types of cookies

4.1. By purpose

Technical or necessary: enable browsing and use of basic features, and remember your cookie and language preferences.
Analytics or measurement: allow the number of users to be quantified and their use of the Website to be analysed statistically in order to improve it.
Personalisation: allow information to be remembered so that you access the service with certain features, such as language.
Advertising or third-party: associated with third-party services (for example, embedded videos or marketing tools) that may use them to build profiles and show personalised content or advertising.

4.2. By owner

First-party: sent to the user's device from equipment or a domain managed by Meridiana.
Third-party: sent from equipment or a domain not managed by Meridiana but by another entity that processes the data obtained.

4.3. By duration

Session: deleted when the browser is closed.
Persistent: remain on the device for a set period, which may range from a few minutes to several years.

6. Consent and Google Consent Mode

The first time you access the Website, a notice is shown that lets you Accept all cookies, Reject all (except technical cookies) or Configure them by category. Until you give your consent, no analytics or marketing cookies are installed.

The Website uses Google Consent Mode v2: until you accept, Google tags run in a restricted mode, without cookies and without collecting identifiers, sending only aggregated, non-identifying signals. When you accept, Google switches to full mode.

Your choice is stored for 12 months; after that period, or if we substantially update this Policy, we will ask you again.

6.1. How to change or withdraw your consent

You can change your choice at any time from the "Cookie settings" link in the footer, which reopens the settings panel. If you reject a category you previously accepted, we will stop installing those cookies; any already stored can be deleted from your browser as described below.

7. How to manage cookies from your browser

In addition to the settings panel, you can allow, block or delete installed cookies through your browser settings. If you block all cookies, some Website features may no longer be available. Instructions for the main browsers:

8. International transfers

Some third-party cookies involve the processing of data by providers located outside the European Economic Area, mainly in the United States. Those transfers rely on the safeguards described in the "International data transfers" section of the Privacy Policy.

9. Updates

This Cookie Policy may be amended in response to legislative developments or changes to the cookies used. We recommend that you review it on each visit. The date of last update appears at the beginning of the document.
