1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website or use an application. They allow the service to recognise your device, remember your preferences, and operate efficiently. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels, and software development kits.

2. Categories of Cookies We Use

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Platform to function. Without them, services such as sign-in, escrow checkout, and verification cannot operate. Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent.

• Examples: session identifiers, authentication tokens, CSRF protection tokens, load-balancing cookies.

2.2 Functional Cookies

These cookies remember choices you make to improve your experience, such as your preferred institution, language, or theme.

• Examples: campus selection, dark-mode preference, recently viewed listings.

2.3 Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how users interact with the Platform so that we can improve it. The data collected is aggregated and does not directly identify you.

• Examples: first-party analytics on page views, feature usage, crash reports.

2.4 Marketing Cookies

Where you opt in, we may use cookies to deliver and measure marketing communications relevant to your interests. We do not run third-party advertising networks on Stuex by default.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by third parties whose services we use, such as analytics providers and our payment processor (Paystack) during checkout. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review.

4. Your Choices

• When you first visit the Platform, you will see a cookie banner where you can accept or reject non-essential cookies.
• You can change your preferences at any time through the Cookie Settings link in the footer of the Platform.
• Most browsers also allow you to manage cookies through their settings, including blocking or deleting cookies.
• Disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent core features from working.

5. Retention

Cookies have different lifespans. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a set period, ranging from a few days to a maximum of twelve (12) months, after which they are refreshed or expire.
