This page explains how the Meridian website (meridian.dhs.africa) uses cookies and
similar technologies. It applies to all visitors to the public website. If you have any question
about it, write to meridian@dhs.africa.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website asks your browser to store on your device. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember preferences, or to measure how a site is used. Similar technologies (such as local storage, session storage, and pixel tags) work in comparable ways and are covered by this policy where relevant.
A first-party cookie is set by the site you are visiting. A third-party cookie is set by another domain, typically an analytics, advertising, or embedded-content provider.
2. How we use cookies
The Meridian website is informational. It describes the hospital management system we build and offers a way to book a demo. We keep the cookie footprint of the site minimal.
At the time of the date above, the site uses only strictly necessary cookies and storage. These are required for the website to load and function correctly, for example, to keep your form input on the same page while you complete it. They are not used to identify you personally or to track your activity across the web.
The site does not currently use analytics, advertising, retargeting, social-tracking, or session-replay cookies. The site does not embed third-party content (such as YouTube, Vimeo, Twitter, or Facebook widgets) that would set tracking cookies in your browser.
3. Cookie categories
The categories below describe what we may use. If a category is marked not in use,
no cookies of that kind are set on meridian.dhs.africa at the date above.
| Category | Purpose | Duration | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Page load, form state, basic UI | Session | In use |
| Functional preferences | Remember a UI choice you made | Up to 12 months | In use only if you change a preference |
| Analytics | Aggregated usage measurement | , | Not in use |
| Advertising | Personalised ads, retargeting | , | Not in use |
| Social and embedded media | Trackers from embedded posts or videos | , | Not in use |
If we introduce analytics or any other non-essential category later, we will update this page in advance and present a consent flow before any non-essential cookie is set.
4. Third-party cookies
We do not currently allow third parties to set cookies through the public website. If you follow an outbound link from our site to a partner, social network, news source, or other external service, that destination is governed by its own cookie and privacy practices, which we do not control.
5. Managing cookies in your browser
You can configure your browser to refuse cookies in general, to accept only first-party cookies, or to delete cookies that have already been stored. Refusing strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the site from working as expected.
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data
For more information about cookies in general, including how to see which cookies have been set and how to manage and delete them, see allaboutcookies.org.
6. Do Not Track
Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. There is no industry consensus on how websites should respond to that signal. Because the Meridian website does not run tracking or behavioural analytics in the first place, the practical effect is the same with DNT on or off.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this cookie policy when the cookies the site uses change, when we add new tools, or when guidance from regulators changes. The date at the top of the page reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be reflected in the page text directly.
8. Contact
The cookie policy is operated by DH Solutions Africa UG (trading as DHS Africa), Heßstraße 58, 80798 München, Germany, registered with the commercial register (Handelsregister) at the local court of Munich under HRB 301856.
