Statutory Notice: This Cookie Policy provides transparent disclosure under Section 43 of the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act (Act 25 of 2002) and POPIA regarding the cookies and local storage tokens deployed on your device when visiting Candibean web portals.
1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies and HTML5 Local Storage are small text files and client-side data mechanisms placed on your computer or mobile browser. They allow web platforms to maintain authenticated sessions, secure forms against cross-site scripting, and remember user preferences without transmitting sensitive data on every server call.
2. Categories of Storage We Use
- Strictly Necessary & Security Tokens: Essential for session authentication, payment security handshakes, and preventing cross-site request forgery. The site cannot function without these.
- User Preferences: Storing your display preferences and remembering your response to the Cookie Consent Banner (
candibean_cookie_consent) so you are not repeatedly prompted.
3. Third-Party Integrations
When you access merchant portals, view payment forms, or launch embedded maps:
- Paystack: Deploys secure tokens to process PCI-DSS Level 1 compliant card transactions and 3D Secure bank verification.
- Google Identity / Firebase: Manages secure cryptographic session persistence and SSL handshake validation.
4. Managing & Clearing Cookies
You may adjust cookie settings or clear stored website data at any time through your browser:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Clear browsing data.
- Mozilla Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
- Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data.
