Cookie Policy
Last updated: May 2026
This Cookie Policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used by megaesim.us (operated by MegaEsim LLC).
1. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file stored by your browser when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, and to provide information to the site operator. We also use browser localStorage for non-essential UI preferences (see section 3).
2. Cookie consent
When you first visit the public site, a banner lets you choose Essential only or Accept all. Marketing and analytics cookies from Google are loaded only if you choose Accept all. You can change your choice at any time by clearing site cookies in your browser (the banner will appear again on your next visit). Your choice is stored in megaesim_cookie_consent.

5. Third-party cookies and services
Stripe Checkout
When you top up your wallet, you are redirected to a Stripe-hosted checkout page that sets its own cookies for fraud prevention and payment processing. See stripe.com/cookies-policy.
Google (Ads / Analytics / measurement)
If you choose Accept all in the cookie banner, we load Google Tag (gtag.js) which may set cookies for conversion measurement, remarketing, and analytics linked to our Google Ads and Google Business presence. We use Google Consent Mode v2: tags stay in a denied state until you consent. Configured tag ID(s) on this deployment: GT-NMDFJBC3. Google's privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy. Opt out of personalised Google ads: adssettings.google.com.
Google Maps / Google Business Profile — if you open our business listing on Google Maps or interact with embedded Google content on third-party pages, Google may set its own cookies under its policies. That activity is separate from megaesim.usunless you have accepted marketing cookies here and we load Google tags on our site.
Sentry (optional)
If error monitoring is enabled in production, Sentry may collect technical diagnostics (including session replay only if configured). See sentry.io/privacy.
Web Push (optional)
If you subscribe to browser push notifications in the customer portal, your browser stores a push subscription endpoint — not a traditional cookie — managed by your browser vendor.
6. Managing cookies
You can clear or block cookies via your browser settings. Removing authentication cookies will sign you out. Clearing megaesim_cookie_consent will show the consent banner again on your next visit.
