Cookie Policy
Last Updated: January 15, 2026
At Myridion Labs, we believe in being upfront about how our website works. This policy explains what tracking technologies we use on myridionlabs.com and why they're there.
We're not trying to hide anything—just making sure you understand what happens when you browse our site and how you can control it.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help websites remember things about your visit.
When you come back to our site, these files help us recognize you and remember your preferences. Some cookies stick around for months, while others disappear the moment you close your browser.
They're not programs and can't carry viruses. Mostly they just sit there storing basic information like language preferences or login status.
How We Use Tracking on Our Site
We use different types of tracking technologies for specific reasons. Some keep the site running smoothly, while others help us understand how people actually use our educational content.
Essential Strictly Necessary
These keep the website functional. Without them, basic features wouldn't work. You can't really turn these off if you want to use the site properly. They handle things like security, session management, and remembering your consent choices.
Functional Preference Tracking
These remember your choices so you don't have to keep setting things up every time you visit. Language selection, region preferences, interface customization—all that sort of thing gets stored here.
Analytical Usage Analysis
We track how visitors move through our site. Which pages get the most attention? Where do people spend time reading? This helps us figure out what content actually works and what needs improvement.
Marketing Outreach Cookies
These track your interests across our site to show you relevant information about our programs. They also help us measure whether our educational campaigns reach the right audience.
Specific Cookies We Deploy

Keep in mind that blocking certain cookies might affect how the site works. Essential cookies are necessary for basic functionality, so disabling those could break things like login systems or form submissions.
Third-Party Services
Some cookies on our site come from external services we use. These help us analyze traffic, manage educational content delivery, and understand how people interact with our programs.
We work with analytics providers who set their own cookies to track usage patterns. These companies have their own privacy policies that govern how they handle data.
When you visit myridionlabs.com, you might also encounter cookies from content delivery networks that help load resources faster or from video platforms if we've embedded educational content.
How Long Do We Keep This Data?
Different cookies have different lifespans. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Others stick around for months or even a couple of years.
The retention period depends on what the cookie does. Preference cookies last longer because you probably don't want to reset your language choice every visit. Analytics cookies need time to build meaningful patterns.
Marketing cookies typically expire after 30 days to a year, depending on campaign duration and relevance windows.
Your Rights and Control Options
You have several rights when it comes to tracking technologies:
- You can refuse cookies entirely through your browser settings
- You can delete existing cookies at any time
- You can request information about what data we've collected
- You can ask us to delete your tracking data
- You can opt out of marketing cookies while keeping functional ones
- You can change your mind about consent whenever you want
Exercising these rights is straightforward. Most can be handled through browser settings, but you can also contact us directly if you need help or have specific requests.
Changes to This Policy
We update this policy occasionally as our tracking needs change or when regulations evolve. When we make significant changes, we'll update the date at the top and might notify active users directly.
