We limit third-party cookies to essential services only:

  • Flutterwave: Our payment processor may set cookies during the checkout process to prevent fraud and complete transactions securely. These are governed by Flutterwave's Privacy Policy.
  • Shown.io: Our privacy-friendly analytics provider uses minimal cookies for aggregated, anonymised usage statistics. No personal data is collected.

We do not use any third-party advertising cookies or retargeting trackers.
