1. About This Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how MEGATAN ("we", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on the MEGATAN website (megatanonline.com). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
We use cookies in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR). Non-essential cookies are only set with your consent, which you can change or withdraw at any time (see Section 6).
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. We also use similar technologies such as local storage, pixels and tags. These help the site work, remember your preferences, keep you signed in, understand how the site is used, and (with your consent) measure and improve our advertising.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
3.1 Strictly Necessary (always on)
Required for the website to function. These include cookies and local storage that keep you signed in to your account, remember the contents of your basket, remember your cookie choices, secure the site, and support checkout and payment. Because they are essential, they do not require consent and cannot be switched off through our consent controls.
3.2 Functional / Preferences
Remember choices you make (such as region, currency and display preferences) to give you a more personalised experience.
3.3 Analytics / Performance
Help us understand how visitors use the site — for example which pages are visited and how the site performs — so we can improve it. This data is used in aggregate. These cookies are only set with your consent.
3.4 Advertising / Marketing
Used, with your consent, to measure the effectiveness of our marketing and to show more relevant ads on third-party platforms. These may involve sharing limited information with advertising partners.
4. Third-Party Services
Some cookies and technologies are set by third parties who provide services to us. Depending on your consent choices, these may include:
- Google Analytics — website analytics and performance measurement;
- Meta (Facebook/Instagram) and TikTok — advertising measurement and audiences;
- Stripe — secure payment processing and fraud prevention;
- Shopify — e-commerce checkout and order processing;
- Supabase — authentication and core site functionality.
These providers process data in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies. We recommend reviewing them for further detail.
5. Legal Basis
Strictly necessary cookies are used on the basis of our legitimate interest in providing a working, secure website. All other cookies (functional, analytics and advertising) are set only where you have given consent, as required by PECR and the UK GDPR.
6. Managing Your Consent
When you first visit the site, you can accept or decline non-essential cookies via our cookie banner. You can change your choice at any time by clearing the site's cookies and local storage in your browser, which will prompt the banner to appear again.
You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings, including blocking all cookies or deleting existing ones. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the site (such as signing in or checkout) from working correctly.
7. How Long Cookies Last
Cookies are either "session" cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent" cookies, which remain until they expire or you delete them. Retention periods vary by cookie and purpose; where we set persistent identifiers for analytics or marketing, these are retained for no longer than is necessary for the purpose described.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or in the law. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised "last updated" date.
