MK Nexa
Cookie Policy
This policy explains which cookies and similar browser storage MK Nexa uses on mk-nexa.com, why we use them and how your cookie choice applies. Details on how we process personal data are set out in our Privacy Policy.
1. Summary
- We use one cookie, customer.sid, which is strictly necessary to run your shopping session.
- We also use a few entries in your browser's local storage and session storage for essential shop functions, such as remembering your cookie choice and your display mode.
- We do not currently use advertising cookies or third party analytics services.
- We run our own visitor analysis, including device fingerprinting. It operates independently of your cookie choice and is described in section 5.
2. What are cookies and similar storage?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. Local storage and session storage are comparable browser features. Local storage keeps data in your browser until it is deleted. Session storage keeps data only for the current browser tab session. In this policy, we refer to all of these as "cookies and similar storage".
In the United Kingdom, storing information on your device or accessing it is governed by regulation 6 of the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (PECR). The processing of personal data that results from it is governed by the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
3. Strictly necessary storage
The following items are technically necessary to provide the shop and the functions you request. They are used without your consent because they fall under the exemption for strictly necessary storage in regulation 6(4) PECR.
Cookie: customer.sid
Keeps your customer or guest session. It is needed for your basket, for signing in to your customer account and for the ordering process.
Type: cookie, set by MK Nexa (first party).
Local storage: shop.cookieConsent
Remembers the choice you made in the cookie banner, so that we do not ask you again on every page.
Type: local storage in your browser.
Local storage: shop:color-mode
Remembers your preferred display mode (light or dark appearance).
Type: local storage in your browser.
Session storage: kasse:confirmation
Holds the checkout confirmation state while you complete your order.
Type: session storage in your browser.
Session storage: shop.accountDeleted
Holds a short-lived redirect state so that the shop can show the correct page after a customer account has been deleted.
Type: session storage in your browser.
Session storage: maintenance-reload-at
Holds a short-lived reload state used when the shop is reloaded during maintenance.
Type: session storage in your browser.
Legal basis for strictly necessary storage
Storing and reading these items does not require consent under regulation 6(4) PECR, because it is strictly necessary to provide the service you have asked for. Where personal data is processed in this context, for example to manage your basket, your sign-in and your order, we rely on Article 6(1)(b) UK GDPR (performance of a contract or steps taken at your request before entering into a contract) and, for the secure and stable operation of the shop, on Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR (legitimate interests).
4. Optional storage and your cookie choice
Our shop displays a cookie banner. Your choice in the banner is saved in your browser under the local storage key shop.cookieConsent.
At present, no optional storage is active that depends on your choice. In particular, we do not use advertising or marketing cookies, and we do not use third party analytics services. If we introduce optional storage in future, we will only set it after you have given consent, and we will update this policy beforehand. Consent, where required, would be the basis for that storage under regulation 6 PECR and Article 6(1)(a) UK GDPR. You could withdraw it at any time with effect for the future.
You can also delete cookies and stored data at any time in your browser settings, or set your browser to block them. If you block strictly necessary items, parts of the shop, such as the basket, sign-in and checkout, may no longer work.
5. Our own visitor analysis and device fingerprinting
We operate our own visitor analysis on this website. It is active and runs independently of your cookie choice, so the cookie banner does not switch it on or off.
Purposes
- Visit statistics
- Security and fraud prevention
- Detection of automated access (bots)
Data collected
- IP address and the approximate location derived from it (country, region, city)
- Pages viewed and the referring page (referrer)
- Browser, operating system, device type, language setting and screen characteristics
- A device fingerprint (including canvas, WebGL and installed fonts) used as a recognition value
- Assignment to the shop session or to the customer account
Storage in your browser
The visitor analysis sets no cookies of its own. It uses the existing session cookie customer.sid.
Legal basis and retention
We process this data on the basis of our legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR, namely understanding how the shop is used, protecting the shop and our customers against fraud and misuse, and detecting bots. This processing does not rely on consent. No fixed deletion period is stated in this policy. Further information on retention and your rights is available in our Privacy Policy.
Your right to object
You have the right to object at any time to processing based on legitimate interests, on grounds relating to your particular situation (Article 21 UK GDPR). Please contact us using the details in section 7.
6. Your rights and further information
Under the UK GDPR you have the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection. If you believe that your personal data is being processed unlawfully, you can lodge a complaint with the UK supervisory authority, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), at ico.org.uk.
For full details on the personal data we process, the purposes, recipients and your rights, please read our Privacy Policy.
