1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your device, maintain your session safely, and remember your preferences over time. At GECA, we use cookies and similar browser storage technologies (like localStorage and sessionStorage) strictly to provide and improve our services.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
We believe in a clean, privacy-first platform. We utilize the following categories:
- Essential Cookies: These are strictly necessary for the platform to function. They handle secure session management, authentication (JWT tokens), and Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) protection.
- Functional Cookies: These remember your choices, such as language settings, currency preferences, and specific merchant dashboard UI toggles.
- Analytics Cookies: We track basic page views and unique visitor counts to provide merchants with traffic insights and to monitor overall system health. We only use first-party analytics.
- No Advertising Cookies: We do not use invasive third-party tracking or advertising cookies across our platform.
3. Specifically We Use
To ensure full transparency, here are the primary storage keys and cookies utilized by the GECA platform:
lego_merchant_session- Securely stores the merchant authentication session token (typically via localStorage).lego_superadmin_token- Used strictly for GECA internal platform administration.geca_currency- Stores the user's preferred viewing currency (via sessionStorage).geca_lang- Remembers the preferred language interface.
4. How to Control Cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. However, please note that disabling essential cookies will prevent you from logging into the Merchant Dashboard and may cause parts of the platform to break.
To manage your browser's cookie settings, please refer to the "Help" or "Preferences" menu of your specific web browser (e.g., Chrome, Safari, Firefox).
5. Third-Party Services
While we minimize third-party tracking, certain integrated features may utilize external cookies or local storage:
- Google Translate: If utilized for on-the-fly storefront translation, Google may set functional cookies.
- IP Geolocation: We may use services like ipapi.co to detect a visitor's country for automatic currency conversion. This happens server-side or via brief API calls and does not rely on persistent third-party cookies.
6. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our underlying technology or regulatory requirements. Any major updates will be reflected on this page with an updated revision date.
