Cookie Policy

Overview

This Cookie Policy explains how Bidoro Technologies Limited (trading as Bidoro) ("Bidoro," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on www.bidoro.africa and related Platform pages. It should be read with our Privacy Policy. Nigerian data protection rules, as administered by the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC), apply to personal data collected through cookies that identify you.

It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. By continuing to use the Platform where consent is not required, or by accepting cookies where we ask for consent, you agree to our use of cookies as described here.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include pixels, local storage, and session storage. They help websites function, remember preferences, improve security, and understand usage.

2. How Bidoro Uses Cookies

2.1 Strictly necessary cookies

Required for the Platform to work. Examples:

• Authentication and session management
• Security and fraud prevention
• Load balancing and core site functionality
• Remembering cookie consent choices

These cookies generally cannot be switched off if you want to use the Platform.

2.2 Functional cookies

Remember choices such as language, location preference, or UI settings to improve your experience.

2.3 Analytics / performance cookies

Help us understand how visitors use Bidoro (e.g., pages viewed, errors) so we can improve performance and product design. Where required, we use these based on consent.

2.4 Marketing cookies (if enabled)

May be used to measure campaigns or show relevant messages. We will only use non-essential marketing cookies where permitted and, where required, after consent.

3. Cookies We May Use

Examples (names may change as we update the Platform):

• Session / auth cookies — keep you logged in securely
• CSRF / security cookies — protect forms and accounts
• Preference cookies — language, location, UI
• Analytics cookies — aggregated usage insights
• Consent cookie — stores your cookie preferences

4. Managing Cookies

You can control cookies by:

• Using our cookie banner / preference centre (where available)
• Adjusting your browser settings to block or delete cookies
• Opting out of analytics tools where they provide an opt-out

If you block strictly necessary cookies, parts of Bidoro (including login, checkout, or escrow-related flows) may not work properly.

Seller camera (liveness) and GPS / geolocation are not cookies. They are device permissions described in the Privacy Policy (seller identity verification). The browser may still show a location or camera prompt during seller onboarding even if you reject analytics cookies.

5. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies may be set by third parties that provide services to us (for example analytics, payment pages, or embedded content). Those parties have their own privacy and cookie policies.

6. Retention

Session cookies typically expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a set period or until you delete them. Retention depends on the cookie's purpose.

7. Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the Platform after updates constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy, where applicable.
