The website
Cookie policy.
What messtands.com stores on your device, why, and how to refuse it.
The principle
Nothing optional is set without your consent
A cookie is a small file placed on your device when you visit a website. Some are essential for the site to work: they are placed automatically, and the regulations exempt them from consent. All the others — here, audience measurement — are only placed after your explicit consent.
Until you have made your choice, no analytics tool is loaded and no data is sent to Google. If you refuse, the same applies, and the site works in exactly the same way.
The chat assistant does not set anything either: the conversation lives in the page and disappears when you leave it.
No consent required

With your consent
Audience measurement
Google Analytics is not yet enabled on this site. Once it is, it will only load after you have accepted it, and the cookies below will then be set.
- _ga, _ga_*
- Cookies set by Google (Google Analytics)
- To measure the site’s audience: pages viewed, browsing paths, referral sources. Statistics are aggregated.
- Duration: 13 months
- Subject to your consent. Nothing is set until you have accepted audience measurement.
Your choice
Accept, refuse, change your mind
The banner shown on your first visit lets you accept or refuse in a single click either way — both buttons carry equal weight. Refusing has no effect on your access to the site or on its features.
Your choice is stored for six months. You can change it at any time, including withdrawing consent you have already given: the ‘Manage my cookies’ link appears at the bottom of every page, and the button below does the same thing. Withdrawing consent immediately stops measurement and deletes any Google cookies still present.
To be completed
Information pending
This page will be completed as soon as Mes Stands has provided the missing information: the full identity of the publisher, the contact details of the data protection officer if one has been appointed, and the retention period set in Google Analytics. This information is not stated here until it has been confirmed.
In the meantime, any question about the trackers used on this site can be sent to info@messtands.com.
