Cookies and local storage

Mérito uses technical storage to support forms, security and preferences. This page describes how you can control that storage.

Last updated:

01

Session and form protection

Session cookies associate related requests and retain validation messages. CSRF protection helps verify that form submissions originate from a legitimate session. Blocking this technical storage may prevent forms and restricted areas from working.

02

Newsletter invitation

Local storage named merito_newsletter_welcome_, separately for each edition, remembers dismissal for 30 days or a subscription request for one year. It stores an expiry time, not your email address. Deleting site data resets that choice.

03

Other preferences

Where weather selection is available, an encrypted technical preference remembers the chosen area for up to a year. These preferences are not a location history and do not contain your raw IP address.

04

Audience tools

Internal article-read counts do not require an analytics cookie. The site also includes a Google Analytics tag, a separate service that can process browser and request information. Browser tracking controls and applicable consent choices may affect its operation.

05

Browser controls

You can inspect, block and remove cookies and local storage in your browser. External websites linked from Mérito manage their own storage under their own policies.
