TC License Store is an online shop where transcosmos inc. sells CASIO Computers PC software and application digital licenses (PC software / application licenses) through https://tc-licensestore.com under an official license granted by Casio Computer Co., Ltd. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, how we use them on the website (the “Site”), and what choices you have. We aim to align with major global standards, including GDPR (EU/EEA/UK), CCPA/CPRA (California), and comparable ePrivacy rules. 

By using the Site, you consent to our use of cookies as described below, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies? 

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by websites you visit. We also use related technologies such as: 

  • Web beacons / pixels: Small graphics that help us understand actions such as page views or email opens. 
  • Similar technologies: Local storage, device identifiers, and, where applicable, SDKs in applications. 

These technologies can collect information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, time spent on pages, and how you interact with our Site. We use this information to improve Site functionality, security, performance, and personalisation.

How We Use Cookies 

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes: 

Essential functions 

To remember your shopping basket, login status, PC‑based digital license delivery preferences, and to keep your session secure. 

Site performance and analytics 

To understand how visitors use the Site (for example, which pages are visited most), to identify errors, and to improve navigation, loading speed, and the license purchase flow. These cookies are often provided by third‑party analytics tools (for example, Google Analytics, Shopify analytics). 

Fraud prevention and security 

To help detect and prevent fraudulent or suspicious activity in connection with digital license purchases and account access. 

Personalisation 

To remember your language and region settings and, where permitted, to tailor the Site and communications based on your previous PC‑based license activity. 

Marketing and advertising 

To deliver or measure relevant advertising about CASIO PC software, applications, and related digital products on our Site and on other websites or platforms, including through partners such as Google Ads or Meta (Facebook), where allowed by law and with your consent where required. 

We may share aggregated or anonymised data with trusted partners (for example, analytics or advertising providers) to help us understand usage and improve our services. We do not sell your identifiable personal data.

Types of Cookies We Use 

Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies 

  • Purpose: Enable core Site functions, such as logging in, operating a secure checkout for PC‑based digital licenses , and maintaining your basket. 
  • Examples: session_id, auth_token, license_cart 
  • Duration: Session or short‑lived persistent cookies (up to around 1 year for security and anti‑fraud purposes). 
  • Consent: These cookies are necessary for the Site to work and are set based on our legitimate interests or equivalent legal bases. In most regions, consent is not required for these cookies, but we still explain their use for transparency. 

If you block these cookies, some parts of the Site may not function correctly (for example, you may not be able to log in or complete a digital license purchase). 

Analytics / Performance Cookies 

  • Purpose: Help us understand how visitors use the Site, which license pages are most popular, where users come from, and how campaigns perform, so we can improve the Site and our services. Data is typically aggregated and pseudonymised. 
  • Examples: _ga, _gid (Google Analytics) 
  • Duration: Up to 2 years (depending on the provider). 
  • Consent: In many jurisdictions (such as the EU/EEA/UK and Brazil), these cookies require opt‑in consent. Elsewhere, you may opt out via your browser or our tools. 

Functional Cookies 

  • Purpose: Remember your preferences, such as language, region, and (where applicable) preferred CASIO PC software or license type for support or display, to enhance your experience and reduce the need to re‑enter settings. 
  • Examples: language_pref, region_setting 
  • Duration: Persistent cookies (for example, up to 1 year). 
  • Consent: Basic preference cookies may be treated as essential in some jurisdictions, but more advanced personalisation features may require your consent. You can manage these via the banner or browser settings. 

Targeting / Advertising Cookies 

  • Purpose: Provide more relevant advertising about CASIO PC‑based digital licenses  and related products on our Site and on other websites or platforms, limit how often you see a particular ad, and help measure the effectiveness of campaigns. 
  • Examples: _fbp, ads_user_id (Facebook/Meta, Google Ads) 
  • Duration: Typically up to 13 months, depending on provider and local law. 
  • Consent: In many regions, these cookies require your explicit opt‑in consent. You can withdraw this consent at any time through our cookie banner or browser tools. 

If you opt out of these cookies, you may still see adverts, but they may be less relevant to your interests. 

Social Media Cookies 

  • Purpose: Enable you to share content (for example, reviews or promotions related to PC‑based digital licenses ) on social platforms and allow social networks to recognise you when you interact with embedded features such as “Like” or “Share” buttons. 
  • Examples: Pixels, plugins and cookies set by Facebook, X/Twitter, LinkedIn and similar providers. 
  • Duration: Determined by the third‑party provider. 
  • Consent: Generally require your consent in jurisdictions that apply opt‑in rules for social tracking technologies. 

These cookies are set directly by the social media platforms. Your interactions with such features are governed by the privacy policies of the relevant platforms (for example, Facebook, X/Twitter, LinkedIn). 

Shape 

Third‑Party Cookies 

Some cookies are set by third parties that provide services to us, such as: 

  • payment gateways (for example, secure payment processing); 
  • analytics and performance tools; 
  • consent management or tag management systems; 
  • marketing and advertising platforms; 
  • customer support and communication tools. 

These third parties may collect information about your interaction with the Site and other websites, in line with their own privacy and cookie policies. We seek to ensure that such providers only process personal data in accordance with our instructions and applicable law. 

Shape 

Global Compliance and Consent 

Cookie and tracking rules vary by region. We adapt our approach based on your location, to the extent technically feasible: 

EU/EEA/UK (GDPR / ePrivacy / UK PECR) 

  • Non‑essential cookies (for example, analytics, advertising, social media) are only used after you give informed, explicit, opt‑in consent via the cookie banner. 
  • The banner provides clear information, a link to this Cookie Policy, and options to accept, reject, or customise cookie categories. 
  • You can withdraw your consent at any time using the “cookie settings” link or similar control; we will periodically ask you to renew consent (for example, every 12 months). 

California and Certain US States (CCPA/CPRA and similar laws) 

  • We provide clear disclosures about how cookies are used and, where required, a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” mechanism or equivalent opt‑out for certain advertising and data‑sharing practices. 
  • Where our use of advertising or analytics cookies is considered a “sale” or “sharing” under these laws, we honour opt‑out choices signalled through our banner, site links, or supported browser signals (for example, Global Privacy Control, where recognised). 

Other Regions (for example, Brazil LGPD, Australia Privacy Act, Singapore PDPA, Japan APPI) 

  • We provide transparency and, where required, obtain consent before setting non‑essential cookies such as analytics and advertising cookies. 
  • We respect local requirements for notice, choice, and data subject rights, working together with our Privacy Policy. 

You can update or withdraw your consent preferences at any time via the cookie banner footer link or, if available, within your account settings. We store proof of consent for a limited period (for example, up to 12 months) to demonstrate compliance and then ask you again when needed. 

 

Managing and Deleting Cookies 

You can control cookies at several levels. 

Browser Controls 

Most web browsers allow you to view, delete and block cookies. The exact steps differ by browser, but general guidance is: 

  • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data → Choose your preferred settings. 
  • Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Enhanced Tracking Protection. 
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Block cookies / Manage website data. 
  • Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies. 

You may also use browser extensions or device‑level controls to restrict tracking. 

Please note: If you block or delete certain cookies, some Site features (such as keeping you logged in or saving your basket) may not work properly. 

Other Tools and Opt‑Outs 

  • Many analytics and advertising providers offer their own opt‑out tools (for example, Google Analytics opt‑out browser add‑on, ad preference centres for Google or Meta). 
  • In some regions, industry organisations provide additional opt‑out resources (for example, YourOnlineChoices in the EU, or AdChoices in North America). 

Details and links to major provider tools are listed in our separate Cookie Policy resources where applicable. 

 

Important Notes 

Limitations of opting out 

Turning off certain cookies may reduce the functionality or personalisation of the Site. You may still see online advertising, but it may be less tailored to your interests. 

Do Not Track (DNT) and Global Privacy Control (GPC) 

Standards for DNT signals are not yet consistent. Where technically feasible and legally required, we seek to honour relevant browser or device signals such as GPC as opt‑out indicators for certain types of data sharing. 

Device and app storage 

Clearing browser cookies typically removes most cookie data from that browser. If you use multiple browsers or devices, you must manage cookies on each. If we offer mobile applications, additional in‑app settings may be available. 

Children 

We do not knowingly use cookies for behavioural advertising targeted at children below the age defined by applicable local law (for example, 13 or 16 years). Where required, we take additional steps to limit tracking for child users. 

 

Third‑Party Social Features 

The Site may include social media features and widgets, such as “Share” buttons for platforms like X/Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn. These features may: 

  • collect your IP address and the page you are visiting; 
  • set or read their own cookies to function properly; 
  • link your activity on our Site with your profile on the relevant social platform. 

Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy and cookie policies of the companies providing them, for example: 

  • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/policies/cookies 
  • X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/en/privacy 
  • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy
