We respect your privacy. Mercurium Analytics uses the minimum cookies needed to keep the product running, plus a few optional analytics cookies that help us improve the platform. You're in full control — change your choice below at any time.

What we don't do

No third-party ad trackers. No cookies sold to anyone, ever. No profiling of visitors for marketing.

What we do

We set a session cookie so your sign-in works, a CSRF token to protect you, and (optionally) anonymous analytics to understand product usage.

Where it lives

Data stays inside our EU-based infrastructure. GDPR compliant. You can withdraw consent at any time with one click.

Analytics & performance

Optional cookies that help us improve Mercurium Analytics. When accepted: (1) we set <code>mrc_vid</code>, a 1-year visitor ID, so we can count returning visitors and multi-day journeys; (2) we record what you click on (button / link / section) so we can find what readers actually use. When declined: we still count daily uniques via a daily-rotating salted hash of your network signature — no cookie, no identifier across days. We never share with a third party. Country is derived from the request header set by our reverse proxy (Cloudflare) — no GeoIP service is called, no IP is stored.

CookieDomainPurpose
mrc_vid .mercurium.ai Persistent visitor ID (1-year UUID). Set only when you accept this group. Lets us count returning visitors and link your sessions across days.
{# Privacy-first page-view beacon. Sends only the path — no cookies, no localStorage, no query string. Skipped on staff/consultant + on the ingest + on admin/Newsroom paths. The server hashes IP+UA with a daily-rotating salt so daily uniques work without cross-day tracking. #}
