Cookie Policy
This document informs Users about the technologies that help this Website to achieve the purposes described below. Such technologies allow the Owner to access and store information and interact with this Website and platforms.
For simplicity, all such technologies are defined as "Trackers" within this document – unless there is a reason to differentiate.
For example, while Cookies can be used on both web and mobile browsers, it would be inaccurate to talk about Cookies in the context of mobile apps as they are a browser-based Tracker. For this reason, within this document, the term Cookies is only used where it is specifically meant to indicate that particular type of Tracker
Some of the purposes for which Trackers are used may also require the User's consent. Whenever consent is given, it can be freely withdrawn at any time, following the instructions provided in this document.
This Website uses Trackers managed directly by the Owner (so-called “first-party” Trackers) and Trackers that enable services provided by a third-party (so-called “third-party” Trackers). Unless otherwise specified within this document, third-party providers may access the Trackers managed by them.
The validity and expiration periods of Cookies and other similar Trackers may vary depending on the lifetime set by the Owner or the relevant provider. Some of them expire upon termination of the User’s browsing session.
Mercell (hereinafter referred to as "Mercell," "We," or "we") Website uses cookies or Trackers managed directly by Mercell also called (“first-party” Cookies or Trackers) or Cookies or Trackers that enable services provided by a third-party (so-called “third-party” Cookies and Trackers). However, depending on the User's browser or device setting, some Cookies or information may be locally stored or set on your browser or device. This varies depending on the browser and the manufacturer of the device, We encourage you to learn more about your browser or device's cookie setting by checking the respective control and configuration. Mercell has no access to such information, and in order for this information to not be stored on the User's browser, the user must change the browser settings and/or preferences. The present cookie policy does not apply to the app webpage or other correlated services and webpage provided by Mercell.

Targeting Cookies
Targeting cookies, also known as advertising cookies or tracking cookies, are a type of HTTP cookie used by websites and online advertisers to collect and store user data for the purpose of delivering personalized advertisements and content. These cookies are designed to track a user's online behavior, including their browsing habits, interests, and interactions with websites, in order to create a profile or user persona.
The primary function of targeting cookies is to serve users with advertisements that are more relevant to their interests and preferences. This is achieved by analyzing the data gathered from a user's previous online activities and tailoring advertising content accordingly. For example, if a user frequently visits sports-related websites, targeting cookies may enable advertisers to display sports-related ads when the user visits other websites.
