Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies are used on mcoglobal.com. It supplements our Privacy Policy.
Summary: we use a small number of technically necessary cookies to make the site work. We do not currently run any analytics, advertising, or third-party tracking cookies of our own. Embedded third-party services (Patreon, YouTube) may set their own cookies if you actively use them on the page.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember preferences, and (where used) to measure usage. Similar technologies include local storage in your browser, which we use for the same kind of purposes.
2. Cookies we set
We use only strictly necessary cookies and local-storage entries. These do not require consent under the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations or the EU ePrivacy Directive, because they are essential to deliver the service you have requested.
| Name | Purpose | Type | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| mco:cookies | Remembers that you have dismissed the cookie notice banner so it is not shown again | Local storage | Until cleared |
| mco_session | Maintains your member session when signed in (only set after login) | HTTP session cookie | Session |
3. Cookies we do not set
We do not currently use any of the following on this site:
- Google Analytics or any other third-party web analytics
- Meta (Facebook) Pixel, TikTok Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, or any advertising pixel
- Marketing or remarketing cookies
- Behavioural targeting or cross-site tracking
If we introduce any such service in the future, this policy will be updated and your prior consent will be sought through the cookie banner before any non-essential cookies are placed on your device.
4. Third-party cookies you may encounter
Parts of the Service link to or embed content from third-party platforms. If you actively interact with these features, the third party may set its own cookies on your device. We do not control these cookies; they are governed by the third party's own privacy and cookie policies.
| Service | Purpose | Policy |
|---|---|---|
| Patreon | Membership signup, billing, and account management | patreon.com/cookies |
| YouTube (embedded videos) | Video playback; activates only if you press play | google.com/technologies/cookies |
| Stripe (during checkout, where used) | Payment processing, fraud prevention | stripe.com/cookies-policy |
| PayPal (during checkout, where used) | Payment processing | paypal.com/cookiePrefs |
5. Managing cookies
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- See which cookies are stored and delete them individually
- Block third-party cookies by default
- Block cookies from specific sites
- Delete all cookies when you close the browser
Disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect parts of the Service (for example, the cookie notice banner may reappear on every visit). Disabling third-party cookies may affect the operation of embedded features (for example, YouTube video playback).
Browser-specific instructions are available at the following links: Chrome · Firefox · Safari · Edge
6. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Because we do not currently use any tracking cookies of our own, the Do Not Track (DNT) and Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals do not change how we operate. Should we introduce optional analytics in the future, we will honour these signals as a clear expression of refused consent.
7. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time, in particular if we introduce new features that involve cookies. Material changes will be reflected on this page with the "last updated" date below.
