Controlling cookies
Essential cookiescan't be switched off — they're required for the site to work. Disabling them in your browser will break sign-in.
Analytics cookiescan be disabled in your browser's privacy settings. We use Google Analytics with IP anonymisation enabled by default.
Preference cookiescan also be cleared from your browser's site-data settings. We'll re-create them as you use the product.
Third parties
We use a small set of third-party services that may set their own cookies on our site:
- BudPay — Nigerian card payments.
- Stripe — international card payments.
- Google Analytics — anonymised usage analytics.
- Cloudinary — profile photo + intro-video CDN.
Each runs under their own privacy policy. Links available on request.
