1. What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file a website asks your browser to store. The next time you visit, the browser returns it with the request, which lets the site remember things like your language preference or whether you're already signed in. Some cookies are essential to the site working at all; others power analytics or personalization.
2. Categories of cookies we use
We use three categories of cookies and storage:
- Strictly necessary — required for core functionality (e.g. remembering your detected country so we can show region-relevant content).
- Analytics — let us measure how the site is used in aggregate, so we can improve it (Google Analytics via Google Tag Manager).
- Security — protect our forms from automated abuse (Google reCAPTCHA v3).
3. Cookies set on posmena.com
The table below lists every cookie we set or rely on, what it does, how long it lives, and who sets it.
| Cookie name | Purpose | Expiry | Set by |
|---|---|---|---|
| pmt-country | Remembers the country we detected for your visit so we can show the right regional WhatsApp number, e-invoicing copy, and integrations. | 1 hour (auto-detected) · 24 hours (when set manually via ?country=) | POSMena (first-party) |
| _ga, _ga_* | Distinguishes unique users and sessions for analytics. Set by Google Analytics 4 via Google Tag Manager. | Up to 2 years | Google (third-party) |
| _gid | Distinguishes users for analytics on a 24-hour window. | 24 hours | Google (third-party) |
| _GRECAPTCHA | Risk analysis to distinguish humans from bots when you submit a form. | 6 months | Google (third-party) |
4. How to control cookies
On your first visit we ask you to choose which categories of cookies POSMena can use. You can change that choice any time from the “Cookie preferences” link in the site footer — your selection is stored for 12 months, after which we ask again. Most browsers also let you accept or refuse cookies globally; refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may make parts of the site work less smoothly (for example, the region-specific WhatsApp number may fall back to a default). You can also reset our region cookie by visiting any page with the query string ?country= (empty value) — this clears the pmt-country cookie and re-detects from your browser.
5. Do Not Track
Browsers can send a Do-Not-Track signal indicating you don't want to be tracked. Because there is no industry consensus on what websites should do in response, we do not currently change our behaviour based on Do-Not-Track. You can control individual cookie categories using the steps above.
6. Changes to this policy
If we add, remove, or change the cookies we use, we will update this page and the revision date at the top.
Cookie questions or concerns?
If anything about how we use cookies is unclear, or you want help configuring your browser, we're happy to walk you through it.
