Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. We also use similar technologies such as pixels, local storage, and SDKs — for simplicity, we call them all "cookies" in this Policy.

Cookies can be "session" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" (stored for a set period). They can be "first-party" (set by megaticketsusa.com) or "third-party" (set by a partner such as Google or Meta).

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

Essential cookies — required for the Service to work (sign-in, checkout, fraud prevention, load balancing). You cannot opt out of these. Typical retention: session or up to 12 months.

Functional cookies — remember your preferences (language, region, theme, recent searches). Typical retention: up to 12 months.

Analytics cookies — help us understand how the site is used so we can improve it. We currently use Google Analytics 4 (GA4). Typical retention: up to 14 months. IP addresses are truncated before storage.

Marketing / advertising cookies — used to measure and personalize ads, and to build audiences on third-party platforms. We currently use Meta (Facebook) Pixel. Typical retention: up to 13 months.

3. Third-Party Cookies

The main third-party cookies you may encounter on our site:

• Google Analytics 4 (analytics) — Google Privacy Policy · Opt-out: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
• Meta (Facebook) Pixel (advertising + measurement) — Meta Privacy Policy · Manage via Off-Facebook Activity
• Stripe (payment fraud-prevention when you check out) — stripe.com/privacy
• Square (payment fraud-prevention for Square-market checkouts) — squareup.com/legal/privacy
• Supabase (authentication session) — supabase.com/privacy

4. Your Choices

EU / UK — GDPR + ePrivacy Directive. Non-essential cookies (analytics, marketing) are set only after you give opt-in consent through our cookie banner. You can change or withdraw consent at any time via the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer.

Brazil — LGPD. Consent is required for non-essential cookies. We process essential cookies based on legitimate interest under LGPD art. 7, X.

California — CCPA / CPRA. You have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. Use the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link below, or enable the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal in your browser. We will honor GPC as a valid opt-out.

Rest of the world. You can manage cookies through our preferences link or your browser settings.

5. Browser Controls

You can block or delete cookies in your browser at any time. Note that blocking essential cookies will break sign-in and checkout.

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
• Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies

6. Opt-Out Resources

• Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
• Meta — Off-Facebook Activity controls: facebook.com/off_facebook_activity
• U.S. industry opt-outs: NAI optout.networkadvertising.org · DAA optout.aboutads.info
• EU: youronlinechoices.eu

7. "Do We Sell or Share Personal Information?"

We do not sell your personal data for money in the everyday sense. However, under the California CCPA/CPRA definition of "sale" and "sharing", our use of third-party analytics and advertising cookies — specifically Google Analytics and Meta Pixel — may qualify as "sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising". We want to be transparent about this.

If you are a California resident, you can opt out in any of the following ways:

• Click "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" in the website footer;
• Enable the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal in your browser — we honor it automatically;
• Adjust your cookie preferences via the banner to reject non-essential cookies.

Under the GDPR (EU/UK) and the LGPD (Brazil), operational data-sharing with our service providers (Square, Stripe, Supabase, hosting, email delivery) is processed as controller-to-processor under data-processing agreements and is not considered a "sale".

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top shows when. Material changes will be announced via banner or email with reasonable notice.
