This Cookie Policy explains how Merion Pty Limited (Merion, we, us) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit merion.com.au. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal information more broadly.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They allow the website to remember information about your visit — such as your preferences or the fact that you are logged in — so that you do not need to re-enter it every time. Cookies cannot run programs or deliver viruses to your device.

Similar technologies include local storage, session storage and pixel tags. Where we refer to "cookies" in this policy, we mean all of these technologies collectively.

Cookies we use

Essential cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function. Without them, services you have asked for — such as logging into the client portal or submitting a form — cannot be provided. They do not track browsing activity across other websites and cannot be switched off in our systems (though you can block them in your browser, in which case parts of the site may not work).

Examples: session cookies that keep you logged in to the client portal; CSRF tokens that protect form submissions from cross-site request forgery attacks.

Preference cookies

These cookies remember choices you make on the website — for example, your preferred language or the state of an interface element — so the site can provide enhanced, personalised features. The information these cookies collect may be anonymised and cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

Analytics cookies

We may use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use the website — which pages are visited, how long people spend on them, and how they arrived. This information helps us improve the website. Analytics cookies collect information in aggregate and are not used to identify individual visitors.

If we use a third-party analytics platform (such as a privacy-focused analytics tool), it will be listed here. Any such platform we use is configured to anonymise IP addresses and not share data with advertising networks.

Third-party cookies

Some pages on this website may embed content from or link to third-party services (for example, a map, a video, or a social share button). Those third parties may set their own cookies. We do not control third-party cookies and recommend reviewing the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party service you interact with.

We do not use cookies for targeted advertising or retargeting, and we do not sell data collected via cookies to advertisers.

How to control cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

see what cookies have been set and delete them individually or in bulk;
block cookies from specific websites or all websites;
be notified when a cookie is being set, so you can choose whether to accept it.

The following links go to the cookie management instructions for common browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge. Note that blocking essential cookies will affect the functionality of the client portal and online forms.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if we add new functionality to the website or change our analytics provider. The current version is always the one published on this page.
