Cookie Policy
Small files. Clear choices.
The short version
Cookies should not come with a treasure hunt.
Websites can use cookies and similar technologies for different reasons.
Some help a site perform functions you have asked it to perform. Others may be used for things such as analytics, personalisation or marketing.
We want those differences to be clear and your choices to be easy to make.
Rejecting optional cookies should not require more effort than accepting them.
What are cookies?
Small files. Different jobs.
Cookies are small pieces of information that can be stored or accessed when you visit a website.
They can help a website remember information, maintain functionality or understand how the site is being used.
Essential cookies
Some functions need to work.
Some cookies may be necessary to provide a service or functionality that you have requested.
Examples can include maintaining a shopping basket, remembering certain technical choices or supporting secure checkout functions.
Optional cookies
Optional should mean optional.
Other cookies may be used for purposes that are not essential to provide the website or service you requested.
Depending on the technology ultimately used by MAGCOCOS, this could include analytics, personalisation, advertising or similar purposes.
Where consent is required, those cookies should not be used before you have made the relevant choice.
“Useful for us” and “necessary for you” are not the same thing.
Cookie categories
What each category is for.
Preferences
May remember choices or personalise aspects of the website.
Actual use to be confirmed.
Analytics
May help understand how visitors use the website and where improvements may be useful.
Actual use to be confirmed.
Marketing
May be used for advertising, measurement or related purposes.
Actual use to be confirmed.
Your choice
Yes should be easy. No should be easy too.
Where optional cookies require consent, MAGCOCOS will provide a clear way to accept or reject them.
Accepting everything should not be visually or practically easier than rejecting everything.
You should also be able to make more detailed choices where different optional purposes are available.
Accept all
Reject all
Manage choices
Example only. The real controls will be provided by the final consent system.
Changing your mind
A choice is not a lifetime appointment.
Where consent is used, you should be able to change or withdraw that choice later.
A permanent way to reopen the cookie controls will be added once the final consent system is implemented.

Third parties
If someone else sets it, we should say so.
Some services integrated into a website can involve cookies or similar technologies provided by another organisation.
The final policy will identify relevant third parties based on the services actually present on MAGCOCOS.
How long cookies stay
Not every cookie packs the same suitcase.
Some cookies exist only during a browsing session. Others can remain for a longer period.
The duration of each relevant cookie will be included in the final cookie inventory based on the technology actually used.
Data & international transfers
Where information goes matters.
Some cookie technologies may involve processing personal information or transferring information through third-party services.
Where this applies, the final information will explain the relevant provider, purpose and applicable privacy information.
To be completed after the final technology stack is known.
Personal data
Cookies and privacy sometimes meet.
Where cookie technologies involve processing personal data, our broader Privacy Policy provides additional information about how personal information is handled.
Keeping this accurate
New technology means another look.
Cookies can change when website services, providers or integrations change.
We will review this information when those changes affect the technologies used on MAGCOCOS.
Cookies, clearly
Choice should feel like choice.
Necessary functions can remain necessary. Optional choices can remain yours.
No maze required.
