Cookie Policy

Last Updated: 14 July 2026

This page explains the technical operation of cookies on mezeji-darefi.info. If you want to adjust your cookie preferences right now, scroll to the bottom of any page and use the cookie settings link, or click the floating consent tool.

What a Cookie Is, Technically

HTTP Cookie: A small text file, typically between a few bytes and 4 kilobytes, that a web server instructs your browser to store on your device. The browser sends the cookie back to the server on subsequent requests, allowing the server to recognize your browser session or stored preferences. Cookies cannot execute code or access files on your device.

A cookie is a small text file stored in your browser by a website you visit. Browsers transmit cookies back to the originating server with each subsequent request, which is how websites remember things between page loads — your preferences, whether you've consented to cookie use, or whether you're logged in.

Cookies have an expiry date. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device until their expiry date passes or you delete them manually. The cookie name, value, expiry date, and the domain it belongs to are all visible in your browser's developer tools.

Cookies We Use on This Site

Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly Necessary cookies are those required for the basic technical operation of the website. They cannot be turned off because without them, fundamental features — like remembering your cookie consent choice — would not function.

We place one strictly necessary cookie on your device when you interact with our cookie consent tool. This cookie stores your consent decision so we don't show you the consent prompt on every page visit. It does not track your browsing behavior or collect any personal information.

Cookie Name Purpose Expiry Type
mdi_consent Stores your cookie consent preferences (accepted/declined categories) 180 days Persistent, First-party

Analytics Cookies (Optional)

If you consent to analytics cookies, we may place analytics cookies that collect anonymized, aggregated data about how visitors use this site — which pages are visited, how long visitors spend on each page, and what navigation paths are common. This data does not identify you personally and is used only to improve the content and usability of the site.

Analytics cookies are only placed after you provide affirmative consent through the cookie consent tool. If you do not consent, no analytics cookies are placed.

Cookie Name Purpose Expiry Type
_ga Google Analytics — distinguishes unique users (anonymized) 2 years Persistent, Third-party
_ga_* Google Analytics — session state storage 2 years Persistent, Third-party

No Advertising Cookies

We do not use cookies for advertising targeting, remarketing, or behavioral profiling. We do not place third-party advertising cookies or allow advertising networks to place cookies through this site. Our content is informational and we do not sell advertising space.

Third-Party Services and Their Cookies

This site loads fonts from Google Fonts. Google may set cookies associated with this service. We have configured font loading to minimize data transfer to Google, but we cannot fully control Google's cookie behavior. You can review Google's privacy policy at policies.google.com.

If you use a browser extension that blocks third-party requests, you may see font rendering fallbacks — the site will still function normally with system fonts.

Managing and Deleting Cookies

You have full control over cookies through your browser settings. Every major browser allows you to view, block, and delete cookies. The process varies by browser:

  • Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data
  • Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
  • Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
  • Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Cookies and site data

Blocking strictly necessary cookies will cause the cookie consent tool to re-appear on every visit, as it cannot store your preference. It will not otherwise affect your ability to read content on this site.

You can also update your consent preferences at any time by clicking the cookie settings link in the page footer or interacting with the floating consent pill at the bottom of any page.

Legal Basis for Cookie Use

We place strictly necessary cookies on the basis of legitimate interest — specifically, the legitimate interest of operating a website that functions correctly and remembers your privacy preferences. Consent is not required for strictly necessary cookies under standard interpretations of applicable privacy frameworks.

We place optional analytics cookies only on the basis of your affirmative consent, obtained through our cookie consent tool. You may withdraw this consent at any time, and withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of any processing that occurred before withdrawal.

This policy reflects our compliance with the FTC's guidance on online privacy, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as applicable to California residents, and recognized international privacy standards for informational websites operating in the United States.

Updates to This Cookie Policy

We update this Cookie Policy when we add, change, or remove cookies from this site. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page reflects the date of the most recent revision. If you have consented to analytics cookies and we add new analytics cookies, we will request fresh consent at your next visit.

Questions

Cookie-related questions can be sent to [email protected]. We're happy to explain our cookie setup in plain language if anything here is unclear.
