1. Introduction
At mysupergeek.com (“we,” “us,” or “our”), we believe in being transparent about how we use your data. This Cookie Policy explains how and why we use cookies, web beacons, pixels, and other tracking technologies (collectively, “Cookies”) when you visit our website or use our services.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
2. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?
We use several technologies to collect data:
Cookies: Small text files placed on your device that allow us to recognize you when you return.
Session Cookies: These expire when you close your browser. We use them to manage your active session (e.g., keeping you logged in while you navigate).
Persistent Cookies: These stay on your device for a set period or until you delete them. We use them to remember your preferences (like language) for future visits.
Web Beacons / Pixels: Tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. We may use these to track the effectiveness of our ads or to see if you have opened our emails.
Local Storage: This allows data to be stored locally on your browser or device and includes HTML5 local storage and browser cache.
3. How We Use These Technologies
We categorize Cookies into four specific functions:
3.1. Strictly Necessary (Essential)
These are vital for the website to function. Without them, we cannot provide the services you requested.
Examples: Logging into your secure account, adding items to your order, processing payments, and security checks (fraud prevention).
Opt-out: You cannot switch these off in our systems.
Retention Period: Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent essential cookies are retained for up to 12 months.
3.2. Performance & Analytics
These allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site.
Examples: Google Analytics.
Note: The information collected is aggregated and anonymous.
Retention Period: Up to 24 months, in accordance with Google Analytics default retention settings.
3.3. Functional
These enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.
Examples: Remembering your region, language settings, or live chat history.
Retention Period: Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent essential cookies are retained for up to 12 months.
Retention Period: Up to 12 months, or until you clear your browser data.
3.4. Targeting & Advertising
These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on other sites.
Examples: Google Ads, Meta (Facebook) Pixel.
Impact: If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
Retention Period: Up to 13 months, subject to the respective third party’s data retention policy.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Please note that third parties (including, for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services) may also use cookies, over which we have no control.
Common third-party providers on our service may include:
5. How to Manage Your Cookie Preferences
Cookie Preference Center: When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies by category. You may update your preferences at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of our website.
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies.
Browser Controls: Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. You can also delete cookies that have already been set.
Industry Opt-Out Tools (For US Users): You can opt-out of receiving targeted ads from companies participating in the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) or the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI):
Mobile Devices: On your mobile device, you can adjust your privacy settings (e.g., “Limit Ad Tracking” on iOS or “Opt out of Interest-Based Ads” on Android).
6. Do Not Track (DNT) and Global Privacy Control (GPC)
Some browsers include “Do Not Track” (DNT) features. Because there is no uniform industry standard for responding to DNT signals, our website does not currently respond to DNT signals unless required by applicable law.
We do, however, recognize the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as a valid opt-out of the sale or sharing of personal data for users located in states where this is required by law (including California and Colorado). If your browser or device transmits a GPC signal, we will treat it as a request to opt out of targeted advertising cookies for that session.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed.
