Cookies

This Cookies Policy explains how Swappa Electronics Ltd (“Swappa Electronics”, “we” or “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our online store (the “Store”). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle your Personal Data more generally.

By continuing to use the Store, you agree to the use of cookies as described here, except for cookies that require your consent — those are only set once you accept them through our cookie banner. You can change your choices at any time using the “Cookies” link at the bottom of every page.

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small file or tracker placed on your device (computer, phone or tablet) when you visit a website, open an email or use an app. Cookies let a site remember your actions and preferences over time, and help the site work, stay secure and improve. We also use similar technologies such as pixels and local storage; we refer to all of these as “cookies” in this Policy.

What types of cookies do we use?

We group the cookies on our Store into the following categories:

• Strictly necessary cookies. These are needed for the Store to work — for example to sign you in, keep items in your cart, process payments and keep the Store secure. They cannot be switched off.
• Functional cookies. These remember your choices, such as your language or region, to give you a smoother experience.
• Analytics cookies. These help us understand how the Store is used — which pages are visited and how they perform — so we can improve it. The data is aggregated wherever possible.
• Advertising cookies. These help us and our partners show you more relevant offers and measure how our campaigns perform, on the Store and on other sites and apps.

Which cookies need your consent?

Strictly necessary cookies are always active because the Store cannot function without them. Functional, analytics and advertising cookies are only set if you agree to them through our cookie banner. You can accept all, reject all, or choose by category, and you can change your mind at any time.

Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by trusted partners who provide services on our behalf, such as analytics, payment, fraud prevention and advertising providers. These partners may use cookies to measure performance or to help show you relevant offers. We do not sell your Personal Data. The full list of partners is available in our cookie banner.

How do I manage cookies?

You have several ways to control cookies:

• Use the “Cookies” link at the bottom of any page on the Store to review and update your choices at any time.
• Adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the Store from working.
• Opt out of marketing messages using the “unsubscribe” link in any promotional email, or in the “My profile” section of your account.

How long do cookies last?

Some cookies last only for your current visit and are deleted when you close your browser (“session cookies”). Others stay on your device for a set period so we can recognise you on a later visit (“persistent cookies”). We keep cookies no longer than needed for the purpose they were set, in line with the Kenya Data Protection Act, 2019.

Updates to this policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or in the law. The current version is always available on the Store. For more on your rights and how we handle your data, please see our Privacy Policy or reach us through our contact page.
