Cookie Policy | Mekong Data

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website saves on your device when you visit it. They help the website remember your preferences and understand how you use it. Cookies are very common — most websites you visit use them.

Some cookies are necessary for the website to work correctly. Others are optional and help us improve the experience. You can choose which optional cookies you accept.

Cookies we use

Essential Cookies

Always active

These are required for the website to function. They handle things like storing your cookie preferences and maintaining session security. They cannot be disabled.

Duration: Session or up to 12 months

Analytics Cookies

These help us understand how visitors use our website — which pages are visited most, how long people stay, and where they come from. The data is anonymised and not linked to individuals. We use this to improve the site.

Example: Google Analytics · Duration: up to 2 years

Marketing Cookies

These track visits across websites and may be used to show you relevant advertising. We may use these with advertising networks. Disabling them does not stop adverts — you may just see less relevant ones.

Example: Meta Pixel, Google Ads · Duration: up to 90 days

Preference Cookies

These remember choices you have made, such as your region or display settings, so you do not need to set them again on future visits.

Duration: up to 12 months

Preferences saved

Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by third-party services that appear on our pages. These include:

Google Analytics — anonymised website traffic measurement
Google Ads — advertising measurement and remarketing
Meta (Facebook) Pixel — advertising measurement

These services have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review them if you have concerns.

How long do cookies last?

Session cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser. They are used for things like keeping you logged in during a visit.
