1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website or use a web application. They are widely used to make websites and apps work correctly, to remember your preferences, and to provide information about how a site is used.
Each cookie contains a small amount of data — typically a unique identifier — that allows the Platform to recognise your device on subsequent visits. Cookies are stored either in your browser's memory (session cookies, deleted when you close the browser) or on your device's storage (persistent cookies, which remain for a set period).
In addition to traditional cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as localStorage, sessionStorage, and web beacons. This policy covers all such technologies collectively when we refer to "cookies".

7. Impact of Disabling Cookies
The impact of disabling cookies depends on which category you restrict:
Strictly Necessary
Major impact
Disabling these will prevent you from logging in, placing trades, or using any authenticated features of the Platform. We strongly advise against disabling these cookies.
Analytics
None impact
Disabling analytics cookies will not affect your ability to use any Platform feature. It simply means we collect less data about how the Platform is used, which may slow our ability to identify and fix issues.
Functional
Minor impact
Preferences like your market category filter or chart type will not be saved between sessions. You will need to re-set these each time you visit.
Marketing
None impact
Disabling marketing cookies means we will not track your activity for advertising purposes and you will not see personalised Sabi9ja promotions on other websites.
8. Policy Changes
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in technology, or changes in applicable law. When we make material changes, we will notify you through the Platform and update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
If we introduce new categories of optional cookies, we will request your fresh consent before setting them. Changes to strictly necessary cookies will be notified but do not require consent.
