This page explains the cookies and similar technologies AfrikaFinds uses. For broader information on how we handle your personal data, see our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. They let sites remember things about you between visits — like that you're signed in, what language you prefer, or which country's listings to show first.
Cookies we use
| Cookie | Purpose | Type |
|---|---|---|
| locale | Remembers your chosen language (English / Português). | Preference |
| country | Remembers the Southern African country whose listings you want to see. | Preference |
| age-gate | Remembers (for a short window) that you've confirmed you're 18+ to view age-restricted sections. | Functional |
| sb-* (Supabase auth) | Keeps you signed in to your account between page loads. | Strictly necessary |
We do not currently use third-party advertising cookies. If that ever changes, this page will be updated and we'll notify you.
How to control cookies
You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you do this on a per-site basis. Note that some parts of AfrikaFinds — staying signed in, the age gate, language switching — won't work properly without their corresponding cookies.
