Cookie Policy

TechGear Direct sells technology products to customers in the European Union through our website, www.techgeardirect.com.

We want you to understand what information is stored in your browser when you use our website, and why. This policy is based on a review of the cookies and browser storage used by our website, carried out on 25 October 2026.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Website Terms of Use.

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer, phone or tablet when you visit it. They allow the website to recognise your device and remember information between pages or visits.

Websites can also use similar technologies that store information in your browser, such as local storage and session storage. Local storage keeps information until it is removed, while session storage is deleted automatically when you close the browser tab or window.

In this policy, “cookies” refers to cookies and these similar technologies together, unless we say otherwise.

Cookies can be first-party (set by the website you are visiting) or third-party (set by a different organisation). They can also be essential, meaning they are strictly necessary for the website to work, or non-essential, such as cookies used for analytics or advertising. Under EU law, non-essential cookies may only be used with your consent.

Our website does not currently set any cookies. Instead, it uses a small amount of local storage and session storage in your browser to support essential features, such as keeping the items in your shopping cart, processing your order request reliably and providing a smooth browsing experience.

All of the storage we use is first-party and strictly necessary for the website to work as you would expect. We do not use cookies or similar technologies for analytics, advertising or tracking.

The table below lists the essential browser storage our website uses:

• Local Storage

  Purpose:

  Remembers shopping cart contents between visits.

  Duration:

  Until cleared by the user or website.

• Session Storage

  Purpose:

  Temporarily stores checkout and confirmation information, and remembers your scroll position so the back and forward buttons return you to the same place on a page.

  Duration:

  Usually until the browser tab or session ends.

All of these items are set by TechGear Direct's own website, and the information stays in your browser. Your shopping cart contains only product codes and quantities; product names, pictures and prices are always loaded from our website.

Strictly necessary cookies and storage are needed for the website to function and to provide services you ask for, such as adding products to your cart and submitting an order request. Because they are essential, they cannot be switched off on our website.

Our website uses strictly necessary storage to:

• remember the products and quantities in your shopping cart
• prevent the same order request from being submitted twice
• show your order request confirmation after you submit it
• return you to the same position on a page when you use your browser's back and forward buttons

If you block or delete this storage, parts of the website, such as the shopping cart and checkout, may not work correctly.

Functional cookies remember choices you make, such as a preferred language or region, to provide a more personalised experience.

Our website does not currently use functional cookies.

Analytics cookies help website owners understand how visitors use a website, for example which pages are visited most often.

Our website does not currently use analytics cookies or any analytics or visitor-tracking service.

Marketing and advertising cookies are used to follow visitors across websites and show them advertisements based on their interests.

Our website does not currently use marketing or advertising cookies, advertising pixels or social media tracking.

Third-party cookies are set by organisations other than the website you are visiting, for example through embedded videos, maps or social media buttons.

Our website does not currently set third-party cookies and does not include embedded videos, maps or social media widgets.

The fonts used on our website are provided by Google Fonts, a service operated by Google. When a page loads, your browser requests these fonts from Google's servers, which means Google receives technical information such as your IP address. In our review, Google Fonts did not set any cookies in your browser.

The payment logos shown on our website are images only and do not load any content from payment providers.

Because our website only uses strictly necessary storage, we do not currently show a cookie consent banner. There are no optional cookies for you to accept or reject.

You can still view and delete the information stored by our website at any time through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

• view the cookies and site data stored on your device
• delete cookies and site data for individual websites or for all websites
• block cookies and site data from some or all websites
• use private or incognito browsing, which removes stored information when you close the window

Your browser's help pages explain how to change these settings.

Please note that if you block or delete the storage our website uses, your shopping cart will be emptied and parts of the website, such as checkout, may not work correctly.

How long information is kept depends on the type of storage:

• Local Storage is kept in your browser until you remove the items from your cart, submit an order request or clear your browser's site data. It does not expire automatically.
• Session Storage is deleted automatically when you close the browser tab or window. The checkout code is also removed once your order request has been sent.

Because our website does not set cookies, there are no cookie expiry dates to list.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if we change how our website works or introduce new services.

If we decide to use functional, analytics or marketing cookies in the future, we will update this policy first and ask for your consent before any non-essential cookies are placed on your device, where the law requires it.

Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
