Cookie Policy — Merantau

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit it. They allow the site to recognise your device on subsequent visits and remember certain information — such as your preferences or whether you have already agreed to this policy.

Cookies are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website operators. They do not contain personal data on their own, but in some circumstances they can be used alongside other information to identify you.

Some cookies are set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies). Others are set by services that appear on the page (third-party cookies).

2. The Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Always active

These cookies are required for the website to function. They include cookies that remember your consent decision so you are not shown the cookie notice on every visit. Without these cookies, the site would not work properly. They cannot be disabled.

Examples: cookieConsent (stores your preference), session identifier

Duration: up to 12 months (persistent)

Analytics Cookies

Optional

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the website. They collect information such as which pages are visited most often and how visitors move through the site. This helps us improve the usefulness of our content. The data is aggregated and does not identify individual visitors.

Examples: Google Analytics (_ga, _gid, _gat)

Duration: session to 2 years depending on cookie

Marketing Cookies

Optional

These cookies are used to track visitors across websites to display relevant advertisements. They help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. We may use third-party advertising partners who set these cookies when you visit our site.

Examples: Meta Pixel (_fbp), Bing Ads (MUID)

Duration: 3 months to 2 years

Preference Cookies

Optional

These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make — such as display settings or regional preferences — so you do not have to set them again on future visits.

Examples: language setting, region preference

Duration: up to 12 months (persistent)

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our website are set by third-party services we use. These services have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review:

Google Analytics — website usage measurement. Google Privacy Policy
Meta (Facebook) Pixel — advertising measurement and retargeting. Meta Privacy Policy
Microsoft Bing Ads — advertising performance tracking. Microsoft Privacy Statement
Google Maps — map embedding on the contact section. Google Privacy Policy

We do not control the cookies set by these third parties. By accepting optional cookies on our site, you also consent to those third-party cookies where applicable.

4. Cookie Duration

Cookies vary in how long they remain on your device:

Session cookies — exist only while your browser is open. They are deleted automatically when you close the browser.
Persistent cookies — remain on your device for a set period after the browser is closed. The duration depends on the purpose of the cookie, ranging from 30 days to 2 years.

The durations noted in the cookie type descriptions above are typical values. Exact durations may vary based on when you first visited the site and which services are active.
