Last updated: 13 April, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how cs2story.com, operated by TEDECA LTD (“Platform”, “we”, “us”), uses cookies and similar technologies. It forms an integral part of our Privacy Policy; capitalised terms have the meaning given there. By using the Platform you acknowledge that cookies may be placed on your device in accordance with this Policy, subject to your preferences and applicable law.
1. What are cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device, keep you signed in, remember preferences such as language and currency, keep the contents of your cart, secure your session, and measure how the Platform is used. We also use similar technologies such as pixels, tags and local storage, referred to collectively as “cookies”. Cookies may be first-party (set by cs2story.com) or third-party (set by external providers).

You may withdraw or change your consent at any time through the cookie settings on the Platform or your browser settings.
