What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make sites function, to remember preferences, and to provide information to site owners about how visitors interact with their content.
This page explains how Mergevue uses cookies, what types are in use, and how you can manage your preferences both here and through your browser settings.
Types of cookies we use
Essential cookies Always active
These are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They support core operations such as navigation, security, and session management. No personal data is collected for commercial purposes via these cookies.
Analytics cookies
These help us understand how visitors navigate the site — which pages are visited, how long sessions last, and where users come from. The data is aggregated and used only to improve the site's performance and usefulness.
Advertising cookies
Where applicable, these cookies support the display of relevant advertising and may facilitate remarketing. They track visits across sites in order to show advertising that is more relevant to your interests.

These store preferences and settings that allow the site to remember choices you have made, providing a more personalised experience on return visits.
