This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, how and why ISM uses them on https://ismerie.com, and how you can manage your choices. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site owner and, in some cases, to third parties.
We also use “similar technologies” such as pixels, tags, local storage, and software development kits (SDKs) that function like cookies. In this Policy, “cookies” refers to all of these technologies.
First-party cookies are set by ISM (ismerie.com). Third-party cookies are set by other organizations whose content is embedded on our site (for example, YouTube, Vimeo, and Google).
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies to:
- Make our website function properly and securely (strictly necessary);

- Understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it (analytics/performance); and
