Meteortrail Advertising Network (operated by Galaxioid OÜ)
Effective Date: August 28, 2025
Galaxioid OÜ (Registry code 17274925) operates this Website in compliance with European Union and Estonian laws on data protection and electronic communications. Galaxioid OÜ operates the services under the brand “Meteortrail.” This Cookie Policy explains how and why we use cookies on our Website. Note: Our Website and services are intended for adult users (18 years and older) only.
**This Policy applies to meteortrail.net and any related subdomains operated by us, including any redirects from our previous domain (galaxioid.net) during the transition period.**
Consent
By using the website meteortrail.net (“Website”) and the services it provides to advertisers and publishers, you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with this Cookie Policy. The Website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users, which helps provide a good browsing experience and allows us to improve the Website.
If you do not agree to the use of cookies, you should disable them by following your web browser’s instructions (see below) or using any available automatic disabling tools. Please note that certain services or features on our Website may not function properly if cookies are disabled. Some browsers allow you to signal a “Do Not Track” preference; however, disabling tracking may interfere with your use of the Website and services. After your initial visit, we may change the cookies we use, and this Cookie Policy will be updated accordingly to inform you who is placing cookies and for what purpose. We encourage you to review this policy from time to time for the latest information on our cookie practices.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files containing a small amount of information which are downloaded to your device when you visit a website, and then sent back to the originating domain on subsequent visits. Because webpages may contain elements from multiple domains, you might receive cookies from different sources when visiting a single website. Cookies are useful because they enable a website to recognize your device, allow efficient navigation between pages, remember your preferences, and generally improve the user experience. Cookies can also help tailor advertising to your interests by tracking your browsing across websites.
There are different types of cookies by duration: Session cookies are temporary and are deleted automatically when you close your browser, whereas persistent cookies remain on your device after the browser is closed (for example, to remember your preferences when you return to a site). Importantly, cookies used on our Website are not used to personally identify you, nor will they harm your computer or files.
What types of cookies do we use?
We describe the categories of cookies that Galaxioid OÜ, its affiliates, and its contractors use below. In general, we do not use any third-party analytics or marketing services on our Website, so most cookies we set are first-party cookies serving essential or functional purposes. We do not share any personally identifiable information via cookies, and any statistics collected are anonymous.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential to enable you to move around the Website and use its features. Without these cookies, services you have requested (such as navigating between pages or staying logged in) cannot be provided. Strictly necessary cookies are crucial for the operation of the site; for example, they allow you to log into secure areas of the Website and keep you logged in as you navigate pages. We use a login session cookie as a strictly necessary cookie to maintain your authentication status.
Example: We set a session cookie when you log in so that the site remembers you throughout your visit. This cookie (e.g. sessionid) holds a unique identifier for your login session and is removed once you log out or close your browser. Without it, you would have to re-authenticate on every page. We may also use a cookie to remember your cookie consent choice, so that the cookie banner is not shown repeatedly after you’ve made your preference. These cookies are first-party and used only for providing the services you requested.
Performance Cookies
Performance (analytics) cookies collect information about how visitors use our Website and help us monitor and improve site performance. Using these cookies, we can gain insights into which pages are most popular, how users navigate the site, which links are effective, or if any pages are encountering errors. This allows us to optimize our content and fix issues quickly, providing a high-quality experience customized to user needs. The information collected by performance cookies is aggregated and anonymous, and is not associated with your personal information.
Note: At this time, we do not use any analytics or performance cookies on our Website. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Yandex Metrica or similar third-party analytics services, so no third-party performance cookies are being set on your device. If we introduce analytics cookies in the future, we will update this policy and (where required by law) request your consent before placing them.
Functionality Cookies
Functionality cookies are used to provide certain features and remember choices you make to enhance your experience on the site. For example, these cookies may remember your username, language or region, so that when you return to the site (or navigate between pages) we can greet you by name and present the site in your preferred language without requiring you to set it again. Functionality cookies can also remember other preferences such as layout customizations or menu settings to provide a more personalized experience. These cookies are not used to track your browsing activity on other websites, and any information collected by them on our site may be anonymized.
Our Website may use functionality cookies to remember choices like your selected language or to keep certain preferences for convenience. For instance, if our platform allows users to set interface preferences, a cookie might save those settings so you don’t have to reconfigure each time you visit. All functionality cookies we use are first-party cookies and only used to provide the services or features you explicitly request.
Advertising Cookies
Advertising cookies help make ads more relevant to users and more effective for publishers and advertisers. These cookies can collect information about your browsing habits and usage of our services in order to deliver advertisements that are more tailored to your interests, improve campaign reporting, increase advertising effectiveness, avoid showing you ads you’ve already seen, and customize the ad content on our service. Such cookies work by uniquely identifying your browser and device.
As an advertising network, Meteortrail (operated by Galaxioid OÜ) and our partners may use advertising cookies on publisher websites within our network to ensure that ads are delivered correctly and to measure campaign performance. For example, advertising cookies can help prevent the same ad from repeatedly appearing and enable frequency capping, or help us track if a user clicks an ad and later performs a desired action on an advertiser’s site (conversion tracking). However, note that our own corporate Website does not display third-party ads to visitors, and we do not set advertising cookies on the Website itself. Any advertising-related cookies are used in the context of our ad serving platform on partner sites, not on meteortrail.net. We do not share personally identifying information through these cookies, and any data collected is used in aggregate to improve ad delivery and reporting.
Session Cookies
Session cookies contain information about your activities during a single browser session. They allow us to link your actions as you navigate the Website in a given visit. For instance, session cookies can track which pages you visited or if you encountered any errors during your session. This information helps us understand usage patterns and troubleshoot issues in real-time. Our session cookie (used for login as described above) is a prime example of a strictly necessary session cookie. Session cookies are temporary and are automatically deleted from your device once you close your browser. They do not retain any information once the session ends.
Persistent Cookies
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set duration or until you delete them, even after you close your browser. These cookies help the Website remember information or settings across multiple visits. For example, persistent cookies can store your language preference, site theme, or other customization so that these preferences are “remembered” the next time you return. They can also be used to remember you for login purposes if you select a “remember me” option, or to store internal bookmarks/favorites on the site. Persistent cookies enable a faster or enhanced experience by recalling your previously provided details, thereby saving you time.
On our site, if we use a cookie to remember your cookie consent or other preferences, that cookie would likely be persistent (for a reasonable period) so that your choice is honored on future visits. All persistent cookies we set have an expiration period after which they will automatically expire. You can also manually delete persistent cookies via your browser settings before they expire.
Use of IP Addresses and Web Logs
In addition to cookies, we may use your device’s IP address and web log information to help diagnose server problems, administer our Website, and improve our services. An IP address is a numeric label that identifies your device on the Internet and can indicate your general location. We may use IP lookup to determine the domain or origin of your visit (for example, identifying if you arrived via a search engine or another site) in order to better understand our user demographics.
Any information collected via IP addresses or server logs is used in aggregate to analyze Website usage and performance. This data is not combined with information about you from any other source. For example, we might see how many users from a given region are visiting at certain times, but we do not link such information to individual identities. IP addresses and log data are handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and are used solely for the purposes described here.
Cookie Policy Does Not Cover Third-Party Websites
Please note that this Cookie Policy does not apply to, and we are not responsible for, the privacy practices of any third-party websites which may be linked to or from our Website. For example, if our Website contains links to external sites (such as client or partner websites), clicking those may allow third parties to set their own cookies. We have no control over cookies set by external sites. Such cookies are subject to the third parties’ own privacy and cookie policies. They are likely to be analytics or advertising cookies used by those third parties. We recommend that you review the cookie/privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit via links from our Website.
Pixel Tracking
In the context of our advertising services, we may use pixel tracking (also known as web beacons or tracking pixels) to ensure the proper delivery of advertising campaigns and to measure their effectiveness. Pixel tracking involves placing a small piece of code (a 1x1 transparent image or script) on a webpage or ad creative, which triggers a cookie or logs a visit when that page is viewed. For example, our advertisers may place pixel tags on their own websites (or their partners’ sites) to track when a user has viewed or interacted with an ad or a specific page, allowing us to record that an advertisement campaign resulted in a visit or conversion. This information helps us and our advertisers understand campaign performance (such as whether an ad impression led to a sign-up or purchase) and improve advertising strategies.
A pixel is essentially a tiny snippet of code used by a website or third-party ad server to track user activity. The use of a pixel allows us to log that a user visited a particular webpage, along with additional non-personally identifiable information that the site publisher or advertiser may choose to include (for example, a campaign ID or product category). We do not collect any personally identifiable information (PII) through our pixel tracking tags. The data collected via pixels relates only to non-personal browser or device information and interaction with ads. These tracking tags are used by our ad servers to analyze users’ behavior and usage patterns on advertisements and client sites, in order to better customize the type of ads users see on various sites. In summary, pixel tracking helps us provide users with a more relevant and meaningful web advertising experience without collecting any direct personal data.
Changes to the Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, and we encourage you to review it periodically to stay informed about how we are using cookies. If we make significant changes, we may also inform you by additional means (such as a notice on our Website or via email, where appropriate). This Cookie Policy was last updated on August 28, 2025. Any changes will be effective from the date they are published on this page.
