Cookie & Tracking Technologies Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how MEGATEMP Technologies Inc. (“MEGATEMP”, “we”, or “our platform”) uses cookies, local storage tokens, and related browser technologies to deliver a secure, rapid, and functional experience.
Zero Ad Trackers
We do NOT install third-party tracking pixels, cross-site social ad trackers, or data-broker cookies.
Secure Auth Tokens
Authentication sessions use HttpOnly, SameSite=Lax/Strict cookies to defend against XSS and CSRF vectors.
User-Controlled
You can clear or disable non-essential cookies in your browser settings at any time without locking core services.
1.0 What Are Cookies & Local Storage?
Cookies are small text data files stored on your computer or mobile device when you access web applications. Local storage and session storage are modern web storage mechanisms that allow our application to remember your preferences (such as dark mode or active district selection) locally on your device without transmitting unnecessary data on every single network request.
2.0 Categories of Cookies We Use
| Category | Purpose & Description | Duration | Opt-Out |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | User session authentication tokens (session_id), anti-CSRF request validation tokens, and payment security tokens. | Session / 14 Days | Mandatory |
| Functional / UI | Theme toggle preference (Light/Dark/System), active Metro Manila district filter cache, and collapsed navigation states. | 1 Year | Optional |
| Performance & Health | Aggregated client-side latency metrics and API health checks (anonymized, zero user identity association). | Session | Optional |
3.0 Third-Party Service Providers
We integrate with select third-party service providers solely to execute vital booking functions:
- Payment Gateways (GCash, Maya, Stripe): Use tokenized security cookies to prevent card fraud and process payments safely.
- Mapping & GPS Dispatch: Lightweight tile caching to display technician ETA coordinates in your district.
4.0 Managing & Disabling Cookies
You maintain full control over cookie storage. Most web browsers (Chrome, Brave, Edge, Safari, Firefox) allow you to refuse or delete cookies via browser preferences:
Navigate to Settings > Privacy & Security > Clear Browsing Data > Cookies and site data.
Using private browsing automatically discards all session cookies once you close your browser tab.
Note: Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from signing in or confirming service bookings.
