Clear transparency on how Mega AppStore stores essential session tokens and theme preferences with zero advertising trackers or cross-site profiling cookies.
Cookies and browser local storage are standard web technologies that allow websites to store small pieces of text or cryptographic tokens on your computer or mobile device. These tokens enable you to stay authenticated as you navigate between app store views without entering your password on every page request.
Mega AppStore adheres to a strict Zero Third-Party Tracking standard:
Because we use only strictly necessary technical cookies to keep you logged in and preserve your UI theme choice, explicit consent banners with confusing dark-pattern reject buttons are not required under ePrivacy Directive Art. 5(3) and GDPR.
The following transparent table lists every cookie and local storage item utilized on Mega AppStore:
| Name / Token | Storage Type | Lifespan | Purpose & Security Attributes |
|---|---|---|---|
| mega_session / token | HttpOnly Cookie | Session / 30 Days | Cryptographically signed authentication token. Encrypted with HttpOnly, Secure, and SameSite=Lax to prevent XSS and CSRF token extraction. |
| theme | LocalStorage | Persistent | Stores your UI preference (dark or light) to render the correct CSS tokens without screen flash upon page load. |
| mega_device_pref | LocalStorage | Session | Remembers your selected platform filter (e.g. Android APK, macOS, Windows) during catalog browsing. |
You can control your consent choices directly on Mega AppStore or clear cookies at any time through your web browser settings.
Fine-tune your functional preferences (persisting your target OS filter in the catalog and dark/light UI theme) or anonymous CDN telemetry anytime. Strictly necessary security tokens remain active to safeguard your downloads.
Most modern browsers (such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Brave, and Edge) also allow you to:
Note: If you disable or block strictly necessary session cookies, you will be unable to sign into your developer console, view your digital wallet, or save package downloads to your personal library.
