1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the website function, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors use the site.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies in the following categories:
Strictly Necessary Cookies
Required for the website to function and to remember the choice you make in the cookie banner. These cannot be disabled.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| cc_cookie | maecos.com | Stores your cookie choices and the consent id that links them to our record of it | 12 months |
Analytics Cookies
Help us understand how visitors use the website so we can improve it. We use Google Analytics 4 with Google Consent Mode. If you decline, the tag still loads but sets no cookies and sends no identifiers, so we receive anonymous counts only.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics 4 | Distinguishes one visitor from another so the same person is not counted twice | Up to 13 months |
| _ga_CKV8DDH19N | Google Analytics 4 | Keeps the Google Analytics session state | Up to 13 months |
Marketing & CRM Cookies
Used to see which companies look at us and whether our advertising works. Two different things run here. The Microsoft Advertising tag does not load at all until you accept this category. Leadfeeder, which Pipedrive sells as Web Visitors, does load for every visitor: it reads the IP address of a visit to work out which company it came from, not which person, and we rely on our legitimate interest for that. It sets the cookie below only after you accept this category. You can object to the company identification at any time by mailing privacy@maecos.com.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _lfa | Leadfeeder (Dealfront), via Pipedrive Web Visitors | Recognises a returning visit so the same company is not counted twice. Set only after you accept this category | 1 year |
| _uetsid | Microsoft Advertising | Groups the pages viewed in one visit, for advertising measurement | 1 day |
| _uetvid | Microsoft Advertising | Recognises a returning visitor across visits, for advertising measurement and remarketing | Up to 13 months |
3. Managing Your Preferences

Our record of your choice: when you make or change a choice, we record it so we can demonstrate that consent was given, as the GDPR requires. That record holds the consent id from the cookie above, which categories you accepted, the time, the page and language, your browser's user agent and a shortened version of your IP address. It does not contain your name or email address, and it is kept for three years.
4. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when we change the cookies we use. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent version.
