Cookie Policy
Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) · Last updated: May 2026
This policy explains what cookies are, which ones Me2You uses, and how you can control them. We keep our use of cookies to the minimum needed to run the site safely. We do not use third-party advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
1. What is a cookie
A cookie is a small text file a website stores on your device so it can remember things between pages and visits, for example that you are signed in. Some of what we store uses your browser's local storage rather than a cookie, but the purpose is the same and this policy covers both.
2. Cookies we use
| Name | Type | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
| Session cookie | Strictly necessary | Keeps you signed in and links your cart and orders to your account | Until you log out or the session expires |
| CSRF token | Strictly necessary | Protects forms against cross-site request forgery | For the session |
| Cookie consent | Strictly necessary | Remembers that you have seen and accepted this notice so the banner does not show again | Up to 12 months |
| Theme preference | Functional | Remembers your light or dark mode choice | Until you change or clear it |
| Feed sound preference | Functional | Remembers whether you turned sound on in the video feed | For the session |
The strictly necessary items are required for the site to work and cannot be switched off through the site. The functional items only store a preference and hold no personal information.
3. What we do not use
- No third-party advertising cookies
- No cross-site tracking or profiling cookies
- No selling of any cookie or browsing data to anyone
4. How to control cookies
You can clear or block cookies and local storage in your browser settings at any time. Every major browser lets you do this under privacy or site settings. If you block the strictly necessary cookies you will not be able to sign in or check out, because the site relies on them to keep your session safe.
To remove the preferences Me2You has stored, clear the site data for m2y.online in your browser. The consent banner will then appear again on your next visit.
5. Lawful basis and your rights
Under POPIA, the strictly necessary cookies are used on the basis of our legitimate interest in providing a secure service you have asked to use. The functional preferences are stored only after you accept this notice. You can read how we handle personal information in our Privacy Notice, and how we keep transactions safe in our Escrow Terms.
