Last updated: 11 July 2025
This Cookie Policy explains how AMV Consulting LLC (“MeshInspector“, “we“, “us“, “our“) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit https://meshinspector.com and any related sub‑domains (collectively, the “Website“). It also describes your choices and rights regarding these technologies.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They perform many functions, such as enabling core site features, remembering preferences, measuring audience reach, and delivering personalised advertising. Cookies set by us are called first‑party cookies; cookies set by third parties are third‑party cookies.
We also use technologies that work in tandem with cookies, including:
Web beacons / pixels – tiny graphics that detect page views, email opens or ad impressions.
Local storage (HTML5, IndexedDB, sessionStorage) – browser‑based storage that can persist beyond a session.
Server‑side identifiers – non‑cookie techniques that may be used if you decline non‑essential cookies.
2. Why do we use cookies?
We group cookies into the following categories. Each cookie name, provider, lawful basis, and retention period is listed in the tables that follow.
| Category | Purpose | Lawful basis |
|---|---|---|
| Essential / strictly‑necessary | Enable the Website to function (e.g. page navigation, secure log‑in, fraud prevention). These cannot be switched off via the banner. | Legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR) |
| Performance & functionality | Improve site speed, remember settings, support chat widgets or session replay. | Consent (Art. 6 (1)(a)) |

3. Your choices
3.1 Cookie‑consent banner
When you first visit the Website, a banner lets you Accept all, Reject all, or manage settings per category. Rejecting is as easy as accepting. Essential cookies are set automatically; all others are set only after you click Accept or toggle the relevant category.
3.2 Withdraw or change consent
You can change your preferences at any time by clicking “Privacy Settings” in the footer, which re‑opens the banner.
3.3 Browser controls
Most browsers allow you to delete or block cookies via settings. If you block essential cookies, parts of the Website may not work.
3.4 Ads personalisation opt‑outs
Google Ads: https://adssettings.google.com
4. International data transfers
Some vendors (e.g. Google LLC, Meta Platforms, LinkedIn Corp., FullStory Inc.) are located in the United States. Where the vendor is certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) we rely on that adequacy decision; otherwise we use Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission. A copy of the relevant safeguards is available upon request.
5. How we keep track of your consent
We log the following: banner version, date‑time, IP‑based country, categories accepted/rejected, and a pseudonymous user identifier. Consent logs are stored for 5 years to demonstrate compliance (Art. 7 GDPR) and then deleted.
6. Updates to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in cookies we use or legal requirements. The “Last updated” date indicates the latest revision. Material changes will be highlighted in the banner.
