1. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make sites work, to remember your preferences, and to give site owners information about how their site is used. Similar technologies, such as pixels and local storage, do related things, and we treat them the same way in this policy.
This policy explains how Melicaa Management Consulting Inc. uses cookies on melicaa.com. It works alongside our Privacy Policy.
2. Why We Use Them
We use cookies to keep the site working properly, to remember choices such as your language preference, and to understand which pages are useful so we can improve them. We keep our use of cookies modest and purposeful.
3. Categories We Use
We group cookies and similar browser storage into the categories below, with the specific items we set in each.
| Category | Purpose | What we set | Consent |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Core functions such as security, page navigation, and remembering your cookie choices. The site cannot work properly without them. | mel-cookie-consent stores your consent choices. First-party cookie, set by our own server; kept for 12 months. A copy is also held in your browser’s local storage as a fallback. You can clear either at any time, or change your choices through Preferences. |
Not required |
| Preferences | Remember choices you make, such as your language, so the site feels consistent. | None at present. A language preference will be stored here when the bilingual (English and French) site launches. | Required |
| Analytics | Count visits and measure how the site performs, in aggregate, so we can improve it. | Google Analytics 4, and only after you grant analytics consent: _ga and _ga_<id>. First-party; about two years. Nothing is set until you opt in. |
Required |
4. Your Consent
Strictly necessary cookies are always active because the site needs them. For all other categories, we ask for your consent before they are set through the consent banner shown on your first visit. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the Cookie preferences link in our footer. For residents of Quebec, this opt-in approach reflects the requirements of Law 25.
Non-essential cookies stay off until you opt in. Analytics is gated through Google Consent Mode: nothing loads or is stored until you grant consent on the banner, and withdrawing your consent stops it again.
5. Managing Cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block cookies, delete existing ones, or warn you before a cookie is stored. The steps differ by browser, and your browser’s help pages explain how. Blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the site work for you.
6. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies may be set by third-party services we use, such as our analytics provider or embedded content. These providers have their own privacy and cookie policies, and we encourage you to review them. We list the third-party services we use in our Privacy Policy.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the cookies we use or in the law. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page shows the most recent revision.
