Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, improve the user experience, and provide information to website operators about how their sites are being used.

Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or install malware on your device. They are simply data files that store small pieces of information. A cookie typically contains the name of the website it came from, the "lifetime" of the cookie (how long it will remain on your device), and a value, which is usually a randomly generated unique number.

There are different types of cookies based on their duration and origin. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually. First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies are set by a different domain than the one you are visiting.

How We Use Cookies

MetaTrack Digital uses cookies on the metatrack.digital website for specific, limited purposes. We do not use cookies to collect sensitive personal information, track your activity across unrelated websites, or build advertising profiles.

Our use of cookies is designed to ensure the website functions properly, remember your preferences (such as cookie consent choices and display settings), and understand in general terms how visitors use the website so we can improve it. We approach cookie use with a preference for the minimum necessary to achieve these purposes.

Where we use cookies that are not strictly necessary for the website to function, we seek your consent before placing them on your device, in accordance with applicable Philippine data protection law and international best practices for cookie consent.

Types of Cookies We Use

The cookies used on the MetaTrack Digital website fall into the following categories. Each category is described in detail in the sections below.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

You cannot opt out of essential cookies as they are strictly necessary for the delivery of the website. Without these cookies, the website cannot function properly.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance. Analytics cookies are only placed on your device with your consent.

We use analytics tools to understand general usage patterns, including which pages receive the most visits, how long visitors spend on the site, and through which channels visitors arrive. This information is used solely to improve the website and is not shared with third parties for commercial purposes.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

Examples of functional cookies used on our website include cookies that remember your language preference, remember your display settings, and enable certain interactive features of the website to work correctly. These cookies collect information about your choices and preferences but do not track your browsing activity across other websites.

Third-Party Cookies

Some pages on our website may include content or functionality provided by third parties, such as embedded maps. These third parties may set their own cookies when you interact with their content. MetaTrack Digital does not control these cookies and is not responsible for the cookie practices of third parties.

Our contact page includes a Google Maps embed. When this map is loaded, Google may set cookies on your device in accordance with Google's own privacy and cookie policies. We recommend reviewing Google's privacy policy for information about how Google uses cookies in connection with its mapping services.

Third-party cookies are only placed where you have consented to their use, or where they are strictly necessary for the functionality of the third-party service embedded on our page.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

When you first visit the MetaTrack Digital website, you will see a cookie consent notice at the top of the page. This notice allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice is stored in the essential cookie described above and will be remembered for one year.

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the website, at which point the consent notice will appear again. Alternatively, you can use your browser settings to manage cookies directly, as described in the Browser Controls section below.

Please note that declining non-essential cookies may affect the functionality of certain features of the website. Essential cookies cannot be declined as they are required for the website to operate.

Browser Controls

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these settings in the "Options," "Preferences," or "Settings" menu of your browser. The following links provide information about cookie management for common browsers:

• Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data
• Mozilla Firefox: Options > Privacy and Security > Cookies and Site Data
• Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies
• Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data

Please be aware that restricting cookies may affect the functionality of this and many other websites that you visit. If you delete cookies after having consented to their use, you will need to provide consent again the next time you visit our website.

Philippine Law Compliance

Our cookie practices are designed to comply with Republic Act No. 10173, the Data Privacy Act of 2012, and the guidelines issued by the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines. We treat cookie data that can identify individuals as personal data subject to the protections of the DPA.

Where cookies collect or process personal data, we rely on your consent as the legal basis for that processing, except in the case of essential cookies where the legal basis is legitimate interest in providing a functioning website. You may withdraw your consent at any time by using the methods described in the Managing Your Cookie Preferences section above.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our cookie use, changes in applicable law, or changes in the services we provide. When we make updates, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document.

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies. If we make material changes to how we use cookies, we will take appropriate steps to inform you, which may include displaying a notice on the website or updating the cookie consent mechanism.
