Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how AfroMarketplace (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our marketplace. It works together with our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember information about your visit — like keeping you signed in or remembering your preferences — so your next visit is smoother.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

Essential cookies — required for the site to work, such as keeping you logged in and securing your session. These cannot be turned off.

Preference cookies — remember choices like your language and country so the marketplace shows content and prices relevant to you.

Analytics cookies — help us understand how the site is used (pages visited, features used) so we can improve it. These are aggregated and not used to identify you personally.

Marketing cookies — may be used to show you relevant promotions and measure the effectiveness of our campaigns.

3. Third‑Party Cookies

Some cookies may be set by trusted services we use, such as payment processors (e.g. Paystack, Flutterwave), image hosting (Cloudinary), and analytics providers. These are governed by the respective providers' own policies.

4. Managing Cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block cookies or alert you when one is being set. Note that blocking essential cookies may stop parts of AfroMarketplace from working properly (for example, staying signed in).

5. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date above reflects the latest version. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
