Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help websites work. Egwu also uses your browser's local storage for the same purposes. This policy covers both, on egwu.africa and the Egwu web app at app.egwu.africa.

Your Choice

The first time you visit, we ask whether you accept optional cookies. Essential cookies are always on. Analytics and marketing cookies are only set if you agree. Your choice is saved for both egwu.africa and app.egwu.africa, and we ask again after 6 months.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential (always on)

Needed for Egwu to work, so they can't be switched off:

• Sign-in: Firebase Authentication keeps you signed in on egwu.africa and app.egwu.africa. When you sign out on one, the egwu_signed_out cookie signs you out of the other too, for up to 12 months or until you next sign in.
• Payments: Paystack, Stripe and Flutterwave set cookies during checkout to process payments and prevent fraud.
• Security: detect suspicious activity and protect your account.
• Your cookie choice: the egwu_consent cookie remembers what you chose, for 6 months.

Analytics (optional)

Google Analytics (_ga, _ga_*) tells us, in aggregate, which pages and features people use so we can improve Egwu. These cookies are only set if you accept analytics. If you say no, Google receives only basic, cookieless signals that don't identify you.

Marketing (optional)

Used to measure and personalise ads about Egwu on other websites. Egwu doesn't run advertising cookies today; if that changes, they will only be used with your consent.

Managing Cookies

Use cookie settings to change your choice. Turning analytics off also removes the Google Analytics cookies already on your device. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, but blocking essential cookies will stop sign-in and checkout from working.

Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. If we add a new type of optional cookie, we will ask for your consent again.
