Cookie Policy
Effective date: April 10, 2026
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work properly, work more efficiently, and to provide information to the website owner.
Cookies can be "session cookies" (which expire when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them). They can be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by other organisations whose services are embedded in the website ("third-party cookies").
2. Cookies We Use
The QuickVendors platform uses the following categories of cookies:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the Platform to function. They enable core features such as user authentication (keeping you logged in to your vendor account) and session management. Without these cookies, services you have asked for — such as accessing your dashboard — cannot be provided. These cookies cannot be disabled.
Functional Cookies
These cookies allow the Platform to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalised features. For example, they may store your display preferences or storefront configuration settings so you do not have to re-enter them on each visit. Disabling these cookies may affect the functionality of certain features.
Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect aggregate, anonymised information about how users interact with the Platform — for example, which pages are visited most often and how users navigate between pages. This data helps us understand usage patterns and improve the Platform's performance and user experience. The data collected is not used to identify individual users.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on the Platform are set by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control the placement or operation of these cookies.
In particular, Paystack may set cookies on your device when you proceed to the payment step of a checkout. These cookies are used by Paystack for fraud prevention, security, and to enable the payment flow to function correctly. They are governed by Paystack's own Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review that policy to understand how Paystack uses cookies.
4. Managing Cookies
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:
- View the cookies that have been set on your device.
- Block all cookies or block cookies from specific websites.
- Delete all cookies or cookies from specific websites.
- Set your browser to notify you when a cookie is being placed, giving you the choice to accept or decline it.
Instructions for managing cookies vary by browser. Please refer to your browser's help documentation for guidance:
Please note that disabling essential cookies will affect the functionality of the Platform. Some features, such as logging in to your vendor account, will not work if essential cookies are blocked.
5. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies.
