Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Tatak Entertainment Technologies Inc.("Fans by Fans", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our e-commerce platform at fansbyfans.com ("Platform").

We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. This policy provides detailed information about what cookies are, what types we use, and how you can control them.

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners.

Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies:

• Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually.

Cookies can also be "first-party" (set by us) or "third-party" (set by external services we use).

In addition to cookies, we also use browser local storage. Local storage is similar to cookies but allows for larger amounts of data to be stored locally on your device. Unlike cookies, local storage data is not sent to the server with each request.

We use local storage for:

• Storing your theme preference (light or dark mode)
• Caching certain application data for faster loading

4.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Platform to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, authentication, and session management. You cannot opt out of these cookies as the Platform would not work without them.

• Authentication cookies: Store your login session securely. Duration: Session or up to 7 days.
• Security tokens: Enable secure authentication flows. Duration: Session only.

4.2 Preference Storage (Local Storage)

We use local storage to remember your preferences for a better user experience.

• Theme preference: Remembers your preferred color theme (light or dark mode).

4.3 Security and Bot Protection

We use security services to protect the Platform from bots and malicious activity.

• Bot protection: We use industry-standard bot detection services on authentication forms and sensitive endpoints to protect against automated attacks. These services may use browser fingerprinting but do not track users across sites.

To respect your privacy, we do NOT use the following types of cookies or tracking:

• Advertising/Marketing Cookies: We do not use cookies to track you across websites for advertising purposes.
• Third-Party Analytics: We do not use Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Amplitude, or similar third-party analytics services.
• Social Media Pixels: We do not embed Facebook Pixel, Twitter Pixel, TikTok Pixel, or similar tracking pixels.
• Retargeting Cookies: We do not use cookies to retarget you with advertisements on other websites.
• Cross-Site Tracking: We do not track your activity across different websites.

Some third-party services we use may set their own cookies when you interact with specific features:

6.1 Payment Processing

When you make a payment, you may be redirected to our payment processor's pages. They may set their own cookies for payment processing and fraud prevention. These cookies are governed by the payment processor's privacy policy.

6.2 Identity Verification

When you complete identity verification, you interact with our verification provider's interface. They may set their own cookies for the verification process. These cookies are governed by the verification provider's privacy policy.

6.3 Security Services

Our security service providers offer bot protection on authentication forms. These services are designed to be privacy-preserving and don't track users across sites, though they may collect limited information for security purposes.
