Cookie Notice

How MateRico uses necessary cookies, preference storage, and optional categories.

Last updated: June 19, 2026

Always on

Necessary

Keeps core navigation and basic site integrity working. This category is always enabled.

Optional

Preferences

Remembers your language between visits instead of falling back to browser defaults.

Optional

Analytics

Allows Google Analytics usage measurement and anonymous first-party visitor counting. Before this consent, Google Analytics starts with analytics and advertising storage denied.

Currently inactive

Marketing

Reserved for embeds or campaign tooling that would require a separate marketing consent.

How cookies work here

MateRico keeps the cookie model intentionally small. Necessary storage is used for core behavior, while preference storage and marketing stay off until you choose them; analytics starts in consent mode with measurement storage denied.

Cookies currently in use

Today the site uses one consent cookie, a session language cookie for the active picker choice, and, only if you allow preferences, one persistent language cookie. If you sign in, necessary OAuth and session cookies keep the sign-in flow and account session active. If analytics is enabled for the site and you allow analytics, Google Analytics may set its own measurement cookies.

  • `materico-cookie-consent`: stores your consent version and category choices
  • `materico-session-locale`: keeps the language you selected for the current browser session
  • `materico-locale`: stores your selected language only when preference storage is enabled
  • Temporary Google sign-in state cookie: necessary cookie used to protect the Google sign-in callback
  • Account session cookie: necessary cookie used to keep a signed-in account session active

Optional categories

Analytics consent controls whether Google Analytics can use measurement storage and full analytics signals. Marketing remains inactive until such tooling exists and you opt in.

Managing your choices

You can accept all cookies, keep only necessary cookies, or manage categories individually. The footer contains a permanent entry point for reopening those settings.

Browser-level cookie controls can also clear or block storage, but the in-site preference dialog is the canonical control surface for MateRico-specific categories.
