Cookie policy
Effective date: 8 September 2026
What are cookies?
Cookies are small files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, such as local storage in your browser, work the same way. This page lists every cookie and equivalent storage actually used on micromega-dynamics.com, what it is for and how long it lasts.
Only strictly necessary items are active when you arrive. Everything else, audience measurement, marketing and third party content, stays blocked until you accept it in the cookie banner. Refusing gives you full access to the site.
How we measure our audience
We do not use Google Analytics, advertising networks or social media trackers. Audience measurement is done with our own statistics, hosted with our website: page views, referring website, campaign parameters, device type, browser, operating system, language and country.
This measurement uses an identifier kept for the duration of your browser tab, plus a temporary daily code derived from your IP address so repeat visits are not counted twice. Your IP address itself is never stored, the data is never sold or shared, and nothing is recorded until you allow audience measurement.
Strictly necessary
Always active and not subject to consent: without them the shop, the checkout and your own preferences cannot work. They contain no advertising or visitor identification.

| md-shop-currency-v1 | Micromega Dynamics | Local storage | Until you clear it | Remembers the currency you chose for the shop (euro or US dollar). |

Audience measurement
Blocked until you accept. Our own statistics, no advertising cookie, no data sold or shared.
| Name | Provider | Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| md-analytics-session | Micromega Dynamics | Session storage | Until you close the tab | Groups the pages seen during one visit so visits can be counted. |
| md-analytics-campaign | Micromega Dynamics | Session storage | Until you close the tab | Remembers the campaign parameters of the link you arrived from (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign). |
| Daily anonymous code | Micromega Dynamics | Server side, no cookie | 1 day | Non reversible code derived from your IP address and browser so a returning visitor is counted once per day. The IP address is not stored. |
Marketing and advertising
No advertising or retargeting tracker is used on this site today. If we add one, it will be listed here and will only load with your consent, with Google Consent Mode v2 signals denied by default.
No marketing cookie is currently used.
Functional third party content
Blocked until you accept. Embedded YouTube videos (Recovib Suite, use cases) and the Google Maps map on the contact page are replaced by a placeholder; the provider only sets the cookies below once you display the content.
| Name | Provider | Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE | YouTube (Google) | Cookie | 6 months | Estimates your bandwidth and player preferences for embedded videos. |
| VISITOR_PRIVACY_METADATA | YouTube (Google) | Cookie | 6 months | Stores your privacy choices for the YouTube player. |

Manage or withdraw your consent
You can change or withdraw your choices at any time, as easily as you gave them, with the Manage cookies link in the footer of every page. The panel reopens with your current choices, and your decision is kept for a maximum of six months before we ask again.
Delete cookies in your browser
If you use another browser, see its official support pages. Blocking all cookies may prevent the shop and the checkout from working.
