Cookie Policy
Last updated: May 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Meepogi ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. It is provided in addition to, and should be read together with, our Privacy Policy. By continuing to use this website, you confirm that you have read and understood this policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information to the site owners. Similar technologies (such as web storage and pixel tags) may be used for the same purposes; in this policy, the term "cookies" refers to all of them.
2. Legal basis (EU / EEA / UK)
We process information collected through cookies in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation 2016/679, "GDPR"), the ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC) as implemented in your member state, and — where applicable — the UK GDPR and PECR. Strictly necessary cookies are stored on the basis of our legitimate interest in providing a functioning service. All other cookies are stored only with your prior, informed and freely given consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
3. Types of cookies we may use
We classify cookies into the following categories:
- Strictly necessary — Required for the website to function (e.g. authentication, security, load balancing, CSRF protection). These cannot be disabled in our systems and do not require consent under the ePrivacy Directive.
- Functional — Remember choices you make to give you a better experience (e.g. preferred language, dark/light theme). They are stored only with your consent.
- Analytics / performance — Help us understand how visitors interact with the site by collecting information anonymously. We do not currently use analytics cookies; if we add them in the future, we will request your consent first.
- Marketing / advertising — Used to deliver advertising relevant to you and your interests, and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. We do not currently use marketing cookies; if we add them in the future, we will request your consent first.
4. Cookies we currently use
The table below lists the cookies actually set by Meepogi at the time of writing. We update this table whenever cookies are added, changed or removed.
| Name | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
PHPSESSID |
Maintains your authenticated session and CSRF token. Set with HttpOnly, Secure (on HTTPS) and SameSite=Lax. | Strictly necessary | Session (deleted when you close the browser) |
elitma_lang |
Stores your preferred site language so that the correct language is shown on subsequent visits. | Functional | Up to 12 months |
5. Your consent and how to manage cookies
When non-essential cookies are introduced, you will see a cookie banner the first time you visit the site that allows you to accept all, reject all, or choose categories. You can withdraw or change your choice at any time through your browser settings or, when available, through the "Cookie settings" link on this page. Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before withdrawal. Most browsers also allow you to block or delete cookies; however, blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent parts of the site from working.
6. Third-party cookies
Some pages of the site embed third-party services (for example, the video chat section is provided by an external partner). When you use those services, the third party may set its own cookies on your device, governed by its own privacy and cookie notices. We do not control these cookies and recommend that you review the third party's policies. See our Videochat Assistance page for the third-party operator details.
7. Your rights
Where the GDPR / UK GDPR applies, you have the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, data portability, and the right to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority. You also have the right to withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised.
