Cookie Policy — Meridian Owl

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit — such as your language preferences or whether you have dismissed a notice — so that the experience works more smoothly on subsequent visits.

Cookies do not give websites access to your device or files beyond what they store themselves. Most browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies through their settings.

2. Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies on nasihanews.info to support basic site functionality, to understand how visitors navigate our content, and to remember your preferences between sessions. We do not use cookies to display advertising or to track your activity across other websites.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These are necessary for the website to function. They manage session security and your cookie consent preference. They cannot be disabled. Examples: consent storage (localStorage), session identifiers.

Analytics Cookies

These help us understand how visitors interact with our site — which pages are most visited, how long people spend on a page, and where visitors come from. This helps us improve the site experience. We use aggregated, anonymised data only. Example service: Google Analytics.

Marketing Cookies

These cookies support advertising-related tracking, such as measuring the effectiveness of online advertising campaigns. They are optional and will only be active if you consent. Examples: Google Ads conversion tracking, Meta Pixel.

Preference Cookies

These remember settings you have chosen — such as your preferred view or notification preferences — so you do not need to set them again on each visit.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies may be set by third-party services we use, including:

Google Analytics — usage data and site performance measurement
Google Ads — conversion tracking for any advertising campaigns we run
Meta Pixel — social media advertising attribution (if applicable)

These third parties operate under their own privacy policies. Meridian Owl does not control the cookies set by these services beyond activating or disabling them based on your consent.

5. Cookie Duration

Session cookies: Deleted when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies: Remain on your device for a specified duration (typically 30 days to 2 years depending on the service).
