1. What Cookies and Similar Technologies Do
Cookies are small files stored by your browser. Similar technologies include pixels and local storage. They can support website operation, remember consent choices, measure website activity, or support advertising. A tool can send information without placing a cookie, so the consent choices described here also cover the relevant tracking technologies.
2. Optional Tools and Their Purposes
![]()
Analytics: Google Analytics 4: Helps us understand referral sources, page visits, and actions such as purchasing a Next-Cart service. It runs only after you agree to Analytics.![]()
Advertising (Marketing): Google Ads: Measures ad performance and service purchases and supports personalized advertising on other websites and apps. Information about your website activity is shared with Google for these purposes. This tool runs only after you agree to Advertising.![]()
External media: YouTube: Embedded YouTube players load only after you agree to External media. Loading a player connects your browser to Google/YouTube, which can receive device, network, and viewing information and use cookies or similar technologies. If you decline, the embedded player remains unavailable.
Analytics: Google Analytics 4: Helps us understand referral sources, page visits, and actions such as purchasing a Next-Cart service. It runs only after you agree to Analytics.3. Necessary Functions and Other Website Components
Necessary cookies support core website operation and security and remember your cookie choices. They are not controlled by the optional Analytics, Advertising, or External media settings. You can block cookies in your browser, but doing so can affect essential functions.
AI Help operates independently of your optional tracking choices. Images and fonts served from media.next-cart.com load without waiting for optional consent. This does not mean these components process no data or that every technology they use is automatically exempt from consent. Information you submit to AI Help is handled for assistance under the Data Policy; optional tracking remains subject to the relevant consent.
4. Your Choices and Consent
Optional categories remain off until you consent. You can accept or refuse them separately and revisit Cookie Settings in the website footer to change your choices or withdraw consent at any time. Refusing optional tracking does not prevent you from using the core website or AI Help; declining External media prevents YouTube players from loading.
Withdrawal stops future use of the affected optional tools on the website. It does not make prior processing unlawful or automatically erase information already received by a partner. You can delete stored cookies through your browser and request information or erasure using the contact details below. Preferences can be specific to your browser or device; clearing storage or using a different browser may require a new choice.
Next-Cart uses a consent interface based on IAB Europe’s Transparency & Consent Framework (TCF). For participating vendors, it records and communicates the relevant purpose and vendor choices. The website’s category names are not the numbered TCF purposes. Applicable data-protection rights, including under GDPR, continue to apply independently of the framework.
5. Information Shared with Partners
Depending on the service and your choices, partners can receive online identifiers, browser and device details, pages and referral sources, event times, purchase events, and network information such as an IP address. Website activity and cookie consent are separate from the store records processed for a Migration.
For Google Analytics, Google Ads, and YouTube, see Google Privacy Policy and How Google Uses Information from Partner Sites. These notices explain the providers’ processing, including international processing and available privacy controls.
6. Remembering Your Choices and Cookie Lifetimes
Next-Cart uses Cloudflare Zaraz to remember your cookie choices for the period configured in the consent management tool. You can change your choices or withdraw your consent at any time through Cookie Settings in the footer. When your saved choices expire or are deleted, you may be asked to choose again.
Cookies used for website operation, analytics, advertising, and embedded videos have their own lifetimes, depending on the tool and configuration. Cookies may expire at the end of a browsing session or remain until their configured expiry date; you or your browser may delete them sooner. These lifetimes are separate from the period for which your cookie choices are remembered.
7. Changes
We will update this policy when our tools, purposes, or processing change. New optional processing requiring consent will not be activated on the basis of an earlier choice that did not cover it.
