This Cookie Policy explains how eSoko uses cookies and similar technologies when you use our platform, and the choices available to you. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. Cookies are small text files placed on your device that allow a website to recognise your device and store certain information about your preferences or activity.
These cookies are essential to the operation of the platform. They enable core functions such as signing in, maintaining your session, securing the service against fraud and remembering items saved during your visit. The platform cannot function properly without them, and they cannot be disabled through our consent controls.
Cookies in this category: sb-*-auth-token (eSoko/Supabase — keeps you signed in; up to 12 months), esoko_consent (eSoko — remembers your cookie choice; 12 months), and an anonymous visitor identifier used to count listing views without identifying you.
These cookies allow the platform to remember choices you make — such as your language (English or Kiswahili), recent searches and display settings — in order to provide a more personalised experience.
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the platform by collecting and reporting information on an aggregated basis. We use this information to measure and improve the performance of the Services. The data is statistical and does not, by itself, identify you. They are set only after you accept them via the cookie banner.
Cookies in this category: _ga and _ga_* (Google Analytics — distinguishes visitors and sessions; up to 24 months), and ph_* (PostHog — product analytics such as which features are used; up to 12 months).
Where required by the Personal Data Protection Act, 2022 and applicable law, we obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies. You may withdraw your consent or change your preferences at any time using the “Cookie preferences” control in the site footer, or by configuring your browser to refuse or delete cookies. Please note that blocking certain cookies may affect the availability or functionality of parts of the platform.
