What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners about how their site is being used.

Cookies contain information that is transferred to your device's hard drive. They help us recognise your device and store some information about your preferences or past actions on our website.

This Cookie Policy explains how metavortis uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website metavortis.world.

Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies for several important reasons:

• To ensure our website functions properly and securely
• To remember your cookie consent preferences
• To analyse how visitors use our website and improve user experience
• To deliver relevant advertisements and measure their effectiveness
• To provide personalised content and services
• To remember your preferences and settings

Types of Cookies We Use

We use different types of cookies, each serving specific purposes. You can manage your preferences for each category through our cookie consent banner.

Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable basic functions like page navigation, form submission, and access to secure areas. The website cannot function properly without these cookies, so they cannot be disabled.

Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. We use Google Analytics to gather insights about website usage, popular pages, and user behaviour patterns to improve our services.

Functional Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we use. They remember choices you make (such as language preferences) and provide enhanced, more personal features.

Marketing/Advertising Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. We use Google Ads and other advertising platforms that may set these cookies.
