01 What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your computer or mobile device. “Similar technologies” include things like local storage and pixels that work in much the same way. They're used to make sites work, to remember you between pages, and sometimes to measure how a site is used.
Cookies are generally grouped into: strictly necessary (needed for the site to function), functional (remember your preferences), analytics/performance (measure usage), and marketing (track for advertising).
02 Our approach
We keep this simple. The Meko marketing website (meko.design) and the client portal (app.meko.design) use a small number of first-party cookies: the strictly necessary ones that make the sites work, plus one analytics cookie set by PostHog, a privacy-focused analytics tool, so we can understand which pages are visited and how people move through our enquiry form. We don't use advertising cookies, and we don't build advertising profiles about you.
The client portal also uses a strictly necessary cookie so that, once you've logged in, you stay logged in securely as you move around.
The analytics cookie holds a random identifier, not your name or contact details, and the details you type into the enquiry form are never sent to analytics. All analytics data is processed on PostHog's servers in the EU. You can block or delete this cookie at any time (see Managing cookies); the site works exactly the same without it.
03 Cookies we use
| Name / type | Purpose | Category | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Portal session cookie | Keeps you securely signed in to the client portal at app.meko.design after you log in | Strictly necessary | Session / short-lived |
| Security & load-balancing | Set by our host (Vercel) and security layer to deliver pages reliably and protect against abuse | Strictly necessary | Session |
PostHog analytics (ph_…_posthog) | Remembers a random anonymous identifier so we can count visitors and see how the site and the enquiry form are used. Set for meko.design and its subdomains; contains no personal details | Analytics | 1 year |
04 Third-party services
Some features rely on third parties that may set their own cookies or receive your IP address when their content loads:
- Cal.com: when you book a discovery call, Cal.com may set cookies governed by its own privacy policy.
- PostHog: our analytics provider. Usage data is sent to PostHog's EU cloud and handled under its privacy policy.
- Web fonts: we load fonts from Fontshare and Google Fonts; their servers receive your IP address to deliver the font files.
- Vercel & Google/Firebase: our hosting and portal infrastructure, which may set strictly necessary cookies as described above.
We don't control third-party cookies. Please see each provider's own policy for details.
05 Managing cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings, including blocking them entirely. Blocking the analytics cookie has no effect on the site. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop the client portal from working (you may not be able to stay logged in). Guidance for common browsers:
