When you sign up for a paid plan, our checkout flow uses Stripe to process card details. Stripe may set cookies on the checkout page to detect fraud and complete the payment securely. Stripe's cookie use is governed by its own privacy and cookie notices.
We do not embed advertising trackers, social-media pixels, or cross-site analytics that follow you around the web.
You can delete or block cookies via your browser settings (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge all support per-site cookie controls). Blocking strictly-necessary cookies will sign you out of the Mekkan dashboard and you will not be able to sign back in until they are allowed again.
Because we do not set advertising or non-essential analytics cookies, we don't show a cookie consent banner. If we ever change that, we will add a banner with a clear accept / reject choice before any non-essential cookie is set.
We'll update the effective date at the top of this page if we change anything. For broader privacy information, see our Privacy Policy. Questions: email support@mekkan.ai.
