Cookie Policy
Last updated: 2026-09-28
This page expands on section 3.3 of our Privacy Policy, which is the governing notice for the Sites.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small key–value files a website stores in your browser. They are sent back with each request and are used to keep state. They can be first-party (our domain) or third-party, and session or persistent.
2. Cookies We Use
We use an essential cookie that always operates to remember your consent choice. With your consent, we also use Google Analytics cookies to measure site usage and improve the service. We do not use personalization or advertising cookies. If you decline, no analytics cookies are set and you can still use the site.
| Name / Category | Purpose | Expiry | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
mpc_cookie_consent | Stores your accept/decline choice | 180 days | Essential (first-party) |
mpc_ops_promo | Remembers that you closed the Field Operations announcement so it is not shown again | 21 days | Functional (first-party) |
_ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics 4 — distinguishes visitors and sessions to measure site usage | Up to 24 months | Analytics (set only on consent) |
The media kit also keeps a daily download count in your browser’s local storage (brand-bundle-downloads, brand-asset-downloads) to limit repeated downloads. It stays in your browser and is not sent to us.
The waitlist / app (app.globalmpc.tech) runs its own first-party analytics, separate from Google Analytics. It uses the browser storage below. Unlike the media kit counter, the browser ID is sent to the app and linked to your wallet after you sign in. Section 3.2 of the Privacy Policy explains this.
| Name / Category | Purpose | Expiry | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
mpc.website.visitor.v1 | A random browser ID used to count visits and sessions on the app | 90 days after its last measured use, renewed on activity | Analytics (first-party, local storage) |
mpc.website.opt-out | Remembers whether you turned app analytics off | Until you change it or clear site data | Functional (first-party, local storage) |
mpc_analytics_internal | Marks the project team's own test browsers so their visits are not counted. The app never sets it; team members add it by hand | Until the team member removes it | Functional (first-party cookie) |
To turn app analytics off, open “Analytics preferences” in the app footer. A Global Privacy Control signal turns it off automatically.
If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we treat it as a decline: analytics cookies are not set, and the consent banner is not shown.
3. Third-Party Requests
We load web fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com, fonts.gstatic.com). This does not set cookies, but your IP address is shared with Google to deliver the fonts.
We use Google Analytics 4 (googletagmanager.com, google-analytics.com) to measure site usage. It is not loaded until you accept: before that, the site sends nothing to Google Analytics and stores nothing on your device for it. After you accept, it sets the analytics cookies listed above; advertising and personalization signals stay off. IP addresses are truncated by Google and are not stored. See Google's Privacy Policy.
We also use Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights, which set no cookies. They record page views and page-loading performance (page URL, referrer, country, browser, operating system, device type) as aggregate statistics. Visitors are distinguished by a hash of the request that is discarded after 24 hours, and IP addresses are not stored. See Vercel's Web Analytics privacy notes.
4. Withdrawing Consent
You can change your choice at any time by clearing this site's cookies in your browser; the consent banner will reappear.
