This Cookie Policy explains the cookies and similar browser storage used on macmeup.com, the MacMeUp Store and the MacMeUp Community (community.macmeup.com), what they do, and how you can control them. It supplements our Privacy Policy.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. “Local storage” is a similar feature that keeps small pieces of data in your browser. Neither can read files on your computer. Some are essential for a site to work; others, such as analytics cookies, are optional.
2. Your choice
When you first visit macmeup.com we ask whether you accept analytics cookies. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are not loaded until you click “Accept analytics”. If you reject them, or ignore the banner, no analytics cookies are set. You can change your mind at any time with the “Cookie settings” link in the footer or the button below.
