Cookie and preference notice
This page explains the single preference the reading room stores, the difference between essential storage and analytics, and how to change your mind. It belongs with the personal information notice. Last updated 21 September 2026.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small record a website asks your browser to keep, so a later visit can recognise a setting. Similar records can live in local storage, which stays on your device and is not sent automatically with every request. Think Meridian uses local storage for the banner choice described below. The pages do not set an analytics cookie and do not set an advertising cookie.
Types used
Essential: the preference that remembers whether you accepted or rejected optional cookies, so the banner does not return on every page. Analytics: none are in use. If that changes, this table will be updated before any new record is set, and the banner will ask again.
Storage table
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| thinkmeridian-cookie-consent | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected optional cookies. Stored in local storage on this browser. | 180 days | Think Meridian |
How to choose, and how to change it
On the first visit a banner offers Accept and Reject. Both choices are stored under the name above and both leave the site fully usable. Rejecting does not close pages, forms, or journal notes. When 180 days pass, the banner can appear again.
To clear the preference sooner, remove site data for thinkmeridian.click in your browser, or delete the local storage key thinkmeridian-cookie-consent. You can also block local storage entirely. The banner will remain visible if the choice cannot be saved, and the pages will still open.
Third-party connections
The pages request typefaces from Google Fonts so headings and text match the reading-room design. That request goes to Google and can include your IP address under Google’s own practices. Think Meridian does not receive a copy of a Google advertising profile and does not drop a third-party advertising cookie of its own. If you block third-party requests, the type falls back to a serif and a sans already on your device. The words stay the same.
Impact of disabling
Blocking the preference record means the banner cannot remember your choice. Blocking typeface requests changes the look of headings and body text. Neither block removes access to visits, fees, journal notes, or the inquiry form. The form’s confirmation depends on the inquiry endpoint, not on a cookie.
