Cookie notice

In one paragraph

A handful of entries keep the shop working: the order you just placed and the answer you gave this notice. Nothing for statistics or advertising is loaded until you say yes on the card that appears on your first visit. Your answer is remembered for 12 months and then asked again, and "Cookie choices" at the foot of every page brings the card back sooner if you want to change it.

Cookies, and the things that are not quite cookies

A cookie is a small text file a site saves on your phone, tablet or computer and reads back on the next page. Browsers also offer local storage, which holds a value on the device without sending it along with every request. This shop uses more of the second than the first, and the notice covers both; where an entry is local storage rather than a cookie, it says so.

The four groups below are the standard ones. Only the first is set without asking you.

1 · Strictly necessary — always on

Without these the shop cannot do what you asked it to do, so consent does not come into it. All of them are read only by this site.

• ntk_privacy_ok — local storage. Holds your answer to this notice — which groups you allowed — and the day you gave it, so the card is not thrown at you on every page. Lifetime: 12 months, after which it expires and the card returns.
• ntk_lead_… — local storage, on the country pages with an order form. Carries the name, phone number and address you have just sent from the form to the thank-you page, so that page can show you the number the confirmation call will come to. Lifetime: until you order the same product again or clear site data.
• ntk_lead_lock_… — local storage. Holds the last seven digits of the phone number and the times the form was sent with it, so the same number cannot place a third order for the same product within 24 hours. Lifetime: until site data is cleared; sends older than 24 hours are ignored.
• ntk_sent_any — local storage, value 1. Written on the thank-you page to mark that an order has already gone from this browser, which is how we keep a double-tap from becoming two parcels. Lifetime: until site data is cleared.
• The form security token — not stored at all. It is fetched when the order or contact form opens, kept in the page's memory for 15 minutes and lost when you close the tab. It proves the form was submitted from our own pages and blocks forged ones.

2 · Preferences

Nothing is set for preferences. This shop has no language switch and no settings to remember: the language of a country page is part of its address, so there is nothing to store on your device.

3 · Statistics

Nothing is set for statistics. This shop runs no analytics product — no Google Analytics, no heatmaps, no session recording, no A/B testing tool. Page views are counted only in the hosting platform's own server-side figures, which are totals and carry no cookie.

4 · Advertising — only if you agree

Accept, and the Google Ads tag below works in full. It tells us which advert brought a visit and whether that visit ended in an order, and it lets Google show our products again to someone who has been here. Choose "Only what is needed" and it stays in the restricted state described further down, no advertising cookie is written, and the shop behaves in exactly the same way. This site uses no Meta (Facebook, Instagram) pixel.

One local entry belongs to this group as well: ntk_conv_…, written after an order has been reported to Google Ads once, so a refresh of the thank-you page cannot report it twice. It holds the value 1 and nothing about you.

The advertising accounts these tags report to are in the name of WHATECH MOBILE CO., LIMITED, which pays for them and answers for them.

Before you answer: Google Consent Mode v2

The Google tag is capable of running in a restricted state, and on this site that restricted state is the default. Google Consent Mode v2 is configured with ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization and analytics_storage all set to denied before you have answered, and ads_data_redaction switched on.

In practice, until you accept: no Google cookie is written, no advertising identifier is set or passed on, click identifiers in the address bar are redacted, and what leaves the page is a cookieless ping saying a page was seen — not who saw it.

Accept advertising cookies and a consent update is sent, the restrictions lift, and the tag works in the ordinary way. Answer "Only what is needed" and it stays restricted for the whole visit.

Changing your mind

Cookie choices, in the foot of every page, reopens the card wherever you are. Answer again and the new answer replaces the old one from that moment on.

Your answer lives in local storage under ntk_privacy_ok, with the groups you allowed and the date you chose. After 12 months it expires by itself and the card comes back, so consent is never assumed to last for ever.

You can also just delete the entry, or clear the site data for this website in your browser. Withdrawing consent stops any further collection; it cannot reach back and undo what was collected while it was given.

Controls that are not ours

Your browser can block or clear cookies whatever this site says:

• Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Third-party cookies
• Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
• Safari: Settings > Privacy > Manage Website Data
• Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies

Blocking the strictly necessary entries will break things: the order form will not submit and the thank-you page will have nothing to show.

To deal with the platforms directly rather than with us, there are Google's ad settings (adssettings.google.com).
