Cookie Policy
Last updated: 14 September 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Driftless OÜ, trading as Merkion (“Merkion”, “we”, “us” or “our”), uses cookies and similar technologies on the public website available at https://merkion.ai (the “Website”).
This Cookie Policy applies only to the public Website. It does not apply to the authenticated Merkion software application or other products and services, which may be covered by separate privacy and cookie information.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels and other technologies that store or access information on your device.
Cookies may be temporary and deleted when you close your browser, or persistent and remain on your device for a specified period.
2. Cookies used on the Website
The Website currently does not use analytics, advertising or behavioural tracking cookies.
We may use strictly necessary cookies or similar technologies where required to:
- operate and secure the Website;
- prevent fraud, abuse or malicious traffic;
- process forms or requests submitted by you;
- balance traffic and maintain Website availability; and
- remember your cookie preferences.
These technologies are used only where necessary to provide a service you have requested or to ensure the Website functions securely. Under applicable European electronic communications laws, your consent is not required for technologies that are strictly necessary for these purposes.
If a consent-preference record is used, it may remain on your device for up to 12 months so that the Website remembers your selection.
3. Non-essential cookies
We will not place or access analytics, advertising, social-media tracking or other non-essential cookies unless:
- you have received clear information about their purpose and provider; and
- you have given your prior consent through the Website’s cookie controls.
If we introduce non-essential cookies in the future, we will update this Cookie Policy and provide appropriate consent choices before those cookies are activated.
Refusing non-essential cookies will not prevent you from accessing the basic Website.
4. Legal basis
Where cookies or similar technologies are strictly necessary to provide the Website or a feature requested by you, they are used under the applicable exemption from consent contained in European electronic communications laws.
Where information collected through necessary technologies constitutes personal data, we process it as necessary to provide the requested service, protect the Website and pursue our legitimate interest in maintaining a secure and reliable Website.
For any non-essential cookies introduced in the future, the legal basis will be your consent under Article 6(1)(a) of the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).
5. Managing your choices
Where the Website offers non-essential cookies, you can accept, reject or manage them through the cookie controls presented on the Website.
You may withdraw your consent at any time through the “Cookie Settings” link in the Website footer. Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before your withdrawal.
You can also configure your browser to block or delete cookies. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may cause parts of the Website to stop working correctly.
6. Third-party services and links
The Website may contain links to external websites. Visiting an external website may allow that provider to use its own cookies or similar technologies. Those technologies are controlled by the relevant third party and are governed by its own privacy and cookie information.
Merely including a link does not cause Merkion to place the third party’s cookies on your device.
7. Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when the Website, the technologies we use or applicable legal requirements change.
The date at the top of this document shows when it was last updated. Material changes affecting your consent will be presented to you through updated cookie controls where required.
