Cookie Policy
Last updated: January 2025
This policy explains how DigitalMeshNet uses tracking technologies on digitalmeshnet.com. We believe in being upfront about the tools we use. Most websites today rely on some form of tracking to work properly, and we want you to understand exactly what happens when you visit our site.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you browse websites. Think of them as tiny notepads that remember bits of information about your visit. Some cookies disappear when you close your browser, while others stick around longer.
We also use similar technologies like local storage and pixel tags. They work differently under the hood, but they serve similar purposes. When we say "cookies" in this document, we're usually talking about all these tracking methods together.
Types of Tracking We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These keep the site functional. Without them, basic features wouldn't work. They handle things like security, load balancing, and remembering your preferences during a single session. We can't really turn these off without breaking the site.
Preference Cookies
These remember your choices. If you've set a language preference or selected certain display options, these cookies keep track of that. They make your experience more convenient by not forcing you to reset everything each time you visit.
Performance Cookies
We use these to understand how visitors interact with our site. Which pages get the most attention? Where do people spend their time? This information helps us improve the experience. The data gets aggregated, so we're looking at patterns rather than tracking individuals.
Targeting Cookies
These help us show relevant content and measure advertising effectiveness. They track your browsing activity across different sites to build a profile of your interests. You can opt out of these through your browser settings or preference tools.
First-Party Cookies
We set these directly from digitalmeshnet.com. They handle core functionality and help us understand how you use our site. This data stays with us.
Third-Party Cookies
Other services we work with may place cookies on your device. Analytics platforms, content delivery networks, and advertising partners fall into this category.
How Long Cookies Stick Around
Session cookies vanish when you close your browser. They're temporary by nature. Persistent cookies stay on your device for a set period, which varies based on their purpose.
Essential cookies might last a few hours. Analytics cookies often stick around for months or even a couple of years. Marketing cookies typically have longer lifespans since they track behavior over time. Each cookie has an expiration date built in, and your browser automatically deletes them when that date arrives.
Taking Control of Your Cookies
You're not stuck with our cookies if you don't want them. Every major browser gives you tools to manage tracking. Here's where to look:
Chrome
Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
Firefox
Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
Safari
Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
Edge
Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage cookies
Blocking all cookies might cause problems with site functionality. Some pages won't work properly without essential cookies. But you have options between allowing everything and blocking everything. Most browsers let you block third-party cookies while keeping first-party ones active.
What We Actually Track
When you visit digitalmeshnet.com, we collect information about your browsing session. This includes pages you view, time spent on each page, links you click, and general location data based on your IP address. We also track device type, browser version, screen resolution, and referring websites.
None of this directly identifies you as an individual. We're looking at usage patterns, not personal profiles. The goal is improving site performance and understanding what content resonates with visitors.
When You First Visit
Essential cookies get placed immediately. These handle security and basic functionality. You'll see our cookie notice banner explaining your options.
During Your Session
Analytics cookies track your movement through the site. Preference cookies remember your choices. If you fill out forms or interact with specific features, we store that information temporarily.
After You Leave
Session cookies disappear. Persistent cookies remain until they expire or you delete them manually. Marketing cookies may continue tracking your activity across other websites.
When You Return
Existing cookies allow us to recognize your device. This enables personalized experiences and helps us understand visitor frequency patterns.
Updates and Changes
We update this policy when our tracking methods change or when regulations require it. The "last updated" date at the top shows when we made the most recent revisions. Significant changes get announced through a notice on our website.
We recommend checking this page occasionally if you're concerned about tracking practices. We try to keep the language clear and avoid legal jargon where possible, but some technical terms are unavoidable.
Your Rights Regarding Data
Depending on your location, you may have specific rights around personal data. These can include requesting access to data we've collected, asking for corrections or deletions, or withdrawing consent for certain types of tracking.
- Access the information we've collected through cookies
- Request deletion of non-essential tracking data
- Object to certain types of processing
- Withdraw consent for optional cookies
