Cookie Policy

Last updated: September 2026

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work and to keep you signed in securely. We only set the cookies needed to run the site, unless you agree to analytics and advertising cookies from Google.

How We Use Cookies

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are set when you sign in or interact with secure parts of the site. Without them, services like logging in, your account dashboard, and checkout would not work.

  • Authentication and session management — to keep you signed in to your account (set by our authentication provider, Supabase).
  • Security and abuse prevention — to protect the site from bots and malicious traffic (set by Cloudflare, e.g. the __cf_bm cookie).
  • Cart and checkout — to remember items and your progress through checkout.
  • Your cookie choice — remembered in your browser (mek_cookie_consent) so we don't ask on every visit.

Cookie-Free Statistics

We count visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics and Vercel Web Analytics. Both are privacy-first, do not use cookies and do not identify individual visitors, so they run for everyone.

Analytics and Advertising (only with your consent)

If you choose Accept, we use Google Analytics to understand which pages are visited and how people find us, and Google Ads to measure whether our adverts lead to sign-ups, bookings and orders. Google may also use this to show Mekatron adverts to people who have visited our site. Both are loaded through Google Tag Manager. Until you accept, Google is told not to set any cookies.

  • _ga and _ga_<id> — Google Analytics; tell visits and visitors apart. Kept for up to 2 years.
  • _gcl_au — Google Ads; links a visit to an advert click so we can measure results. Kept for 90 days.

Changing Your Choice

You can change your answer at any time. If you withdraw consent, we remove the Google cookies set on this site and Google stops setting new ones.

Third-Party Cookies

Some trusted providers set their own cookies as part of delivering their service:

  • Cloudflare — security and bot protection for the site.
  • Google — analytics and advertising measurement, only if you accept.
  • Paystack — when you make a payment, you are redirected to Paystack, which sets its own cookies on its own domain to process the transaction securely.

Managing Cookies in Your Browser

Most web browsers also let you control cookies through their settings. You can:

  • View and delete cookies
  • Block all cookies
  • Block third-party cookies
  • Clear all cookies when you close your browser

Note that blocking cookies may impact your experience on our website and limit certain features.
