How Meduza uses cookies Keeping it as simple as possible
Just like most websites, Meduza (or Medusa Project SIA services) uses cookies, which give us the opportunity to render services to our readers, see that our services are available and have not failed, as well as analyze data and understand what we are doing wrong, and how we should proceed with developing our editorial and advertising products. In this document, we explain how we use cookies, and what readers can do about it (if they want).
What are cookies?
For some reason, the British call them “biscuits.” But Internet cookies are slightly different. A cookie is a data fragment from a website you have visited that is stored on your computer.
Which cookies do we use and why?
We use several types of cookies:
- Statistics cookies: we use several systems to collect statistics, as it is important for us to know how people read us. Based on this data, we can understand the size of our audience, and what we are doing right or wrong. We collect statistics through our partners, Google Analytics.
- Advertising: we use an ad serving platform (Azerion Technology B.V.) to show you contextual ads relevant to your preferences.
- Games: In some quizzes and games, we use cookies to save data about your in-game decisions as well as intermediate and final results.
What should you do if you don't want to use cookies?
You can disable them on a pop-up window that appears on a page when you first visit Meduza. An important note: the settings should be applied to all browsers you use (both on your computer and smartphone). If you choose to disable cookies, please note that some Meduza services will no longer be available to you, or may operate unpredictably.
