Cookies on the Website

When you interact with the Website we strive to make that experience easy and meaningful. When you come to our Website, our web server sends a cookie to your computer. Cookies are files that web browsers place on a computer’s hard drive and are used to tell us whether customers and visitors have visited the Website previously. If you click on a link to a third-party Website, such a third party may also transmit cookies to you.

Unless you choose to identify yourself to Mettevo, either by responding to a promotional offer, opening an account, or registering for a free trial, you remain anonymous to Mettevo. Cookies come in two flavors: session and persistent-based. Session cookies exist only during an online session. They disappear from your computer when you close your browser software or turn off your computer. Persistent cookies remain on your computer after you’ve closed your browser or turned off your computer. They include such information as a unique identifier for your browser.

Mettevo uses session cookies containing encrypted information to allow the system to uniquely identify you while you are logged in. This information allows Mettevo to process your online transactions and requests. Session cookies help us make sure you are who you say you are after you’ve logged in and are required in order to use the Mettevo application. Mettevo uses persistent cookies that only Mettevo can read and use, to identify the fact that you are a Mettevo customer or a prior Mettevo Website visitor (whatever the case may be). We are especially careful about the security and confidentiality of the information stored in persistent cookies. For example, we do not store account numbers or passwords in persistent cookies. Users who disable their web browser's ability to accept cookies will be able to browse our Website but will not be able to successfully use our Services.
