Mercury's privacy policy cookie table was updated on June 12, 2026 to add one new cookie entry and reorder existing entries. A Google Analytics cookie pattern (^_dc_gtm_UA-.*) was added to the Analytics category, and the tcm cookie entry was moved in the list. This represents a minor technical clarification of tracked cookies rather than a substantive change to Mercury's data practices.
