At Melcina, we use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience, analyze site traffic, and personalize content. This policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and your options for managing them.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your browser or device when you visit a website. They allow the site to «remember» your actions or preferences (such as login details or language) over a period of time.

 

2. Types of cookies we use

We categorize our cookies as follows:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies (Technical): These are essential for the website to function correctly. They include, for example, cookies that keep sessions open or determine if your browser accepts cookies. These cannot be disabled.

• Preference Cookies (Personalization): These allow the site to remember choices you have made (such as your username in the comments section) to provide a more streamlined experience.

• Analytical & Statistical Cookies: These help us understand how visitors interact with the website (which pages are most visited, time spent on site). This data is collected anonymously.

• Third-Party Cookies: Our site uses services like Gravatar (by Automattic) to display profile images in comments and may include embedded content (YouTube, Google Maps). These third parties may set their own cookies over which we have no direct control.
