Cookie policy
Last updated: November 2026. This policy explains how Mercaria uses cookies and similar technologies on mercaria.co.uk. It is written for the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and the UK GDPR. If you visit from the EU, the same choices apply under the ePrivacy rules and the EU GDPR.
What a cookie is
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, such as local storage, can remember a choice in your browser without sending it back to us on every page. We use local storage for your cookie choice. We do not use it to identify you.
Strictly necessary
The public site does not set analytics, advertising, or other optional cookies. A strictly necessary cookie is one the site needs in order to work, such as keeping a private staff area signed in. Those cookies do not need consent under PECR. They are not used to track you around the web.
Optional cookies
We do not currently set analytics or marketing cookies. If we add any later, they will stay off until you press Accept. Rejecting, or dismissing the notice, means we will not set them. You can change that choice at any time on this page.
Fonts
The site loads a typeface from Google Fonts. That request can share your IP address and browser details with Google. It is not a cookie we set, and it is not used for advertising by us. You can block third-party requests in your browser if you prefer.
Your choice
The notice at the bottom of the site lets you accept or reject optional cookies, or dismiss it. Dismissing it is treated as a rejection. Your choice is stored in this browser until you change it or clear the site's data.
Checking your current choice.
Browser controls
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of a signed-in area from working. Guidance is available from your browser provider, and from the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
