Cookie Policy

1. What a Cookie Is

A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device to remember something about your visit. Browser storage (such as localStorage) works similarly but stores data directly in your browser. Together, these technologies allow websites to function correctly and remember user preferences.

2. The Cookie Preference Pill

When you first visit mymallcard.net, a small preferences pill appears in the lower corner of the screen. Tapping it opens a dialog where you can control optional categories. Your choice is saved in your browser under the key mgc_consent_v2 so that you are not asked repeatedly on every page.

3. Categories of Cookies We Describe

Strictly necessary. These allow the site to function. They include the entry that remembers your cookie preference and any temporary state required for navigation. These are always active; without them, the site would not work as expected.

Functional. These remember choices you make to personalize your experience, such as remembering that a dismissible banner has been closed. They are only set if you opt in.

Analytics. These help us understand aggregate usage patterns — for example, which pages are read most often. They are only set if you opt in, and when used they are configured with anonymization in mind.

4. Third-Party Resources

Some pages load resources from third-party providers (such as Google Fonts, a public icon content delivery network, or OpenStreetMap for the map on our contact page). When these resources load, the third-party provider receives standard request information, including your IP address. These providers may set their own cookies independently of this site according to their own privacy and cookie policies.

5. Managing Your Preferences

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the preferences pill visible on every page. You can also delete cookies directly through your browser settings. If you clear the mgc_consent_v2 entry, your consent record will be reset and you will be asked for your preference again on your next visit.

6. Do Not Track

Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" signal. Because there is no universal industry standard for how sites must respond to this signal, we treat a "Do Not Track" signal as a preference to decline optional categories until the visitor explicitly opts in through our preferences dialog.

7. Changes to This Policy

If we change which cookies we use or add new categories, this policy will be updated. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect when the change was made.
