This Cookie Policy explains how [LEGAL ENTITY NAME] ("QuickBite", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on the QuickBite websites and applications (the "Platform"). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
1.1. Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website or use an app. They help the Platform function, remember your preferences, and understand how the Platform is used.
1.2. We also use similar technologies such as local storage, software development kits (SDKs), pixels, and device identifiers. In this Policy, we refer to all of these collectively as "cookies".
1.3. Cookies may be:
- First-party — set by QuickBite; or
- Third-party — set by our service providers (e.g., analytics or payment partners).
They may also be session cookies (deleted when you close the app/browser) or persistent cookies (remaining until they expire or you delete them).
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
2.1. Strictly necessary cookies. Required for the Platform to function — for example, to keep you signed in, maintain your session and cart, route requests securely, and prevent fraud. These cannot be switched off through our consent tools.
2.2. Functional cookies. Remember your choices and preferences (such as saved addresses, language, or location settings) to provide a more personalised experience.
2.3. Analytics / performance cookies. Help us understand how users interact with the Platform (e.g., pages visited, features used, errors encountered) so we can improve it. These are used only with your consent where required.
2.4. Marketing / advertising cookies. Used, only with your consent, to measure campaigns and show you relevant promotions on and off the Platform.
3. Examples of Cookies and Their Purposes
Replace the examples below with your actual cookie inventory before publication.
| Cookie / technology | Category | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|---|
qb_session | Strictly necessary | Maintains your authenticated session | Session |
qb_cart | Strictly necessary | Remembers items in your cart | Session / [DURATION] |
qb_prefs | Functional | Stores preferences (address, language) | [DURATION] |
[ANALYTICS COOKIE] | Analytics | Measures usage and performance | [DURATION] |
[MARKETING COOKIE] | Marketing | Campaign measurement and personalisation | [DURATION] |
4. Third-Party Cookies
4.1. Some cookies are set by third parties that provide services to us, which may include:
- Analytics providers — [e.g., analytics tool name];
- Payment processors — e.g., Paystack / Flutterwave (for secure checkout and fraud prevention); and
- Infrastructure / security providers — e.g., content-delivery and security services.
4.2. These third parties process data in accordance with their own privacy and cookie notices. We encourage you to review them.
5. Legal Basis & Consent
5.1. We place strictly necessary cookies on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a secure, functional Platform; these do not require consent.
5.2. For functional, analytics, and marketing cookies, we rely on your consent, obtained through our cookie banner or settings where required by the NDPR/NDPA.
5.3. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time (see Section 6). Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
6.1. Cookie settings. Where a cookie banner or preference centre is provided, you can accept, reject, or customise non-essential cookies at any time.
6.2. Browser/device controls. You can also control cookies through your browser or device settings — for example, to block or delete cookies, or to reset advertising identifiers. Steps vary by browser and device.
6.3. Impact of disabling cookies. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may cause parts of the Platform (such as sign-in, cart, or checkout) to stop working. Blocking functional cookies may reduce personalisation.
7. Changes to this Cookie Policy
7.1. We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our practices. We will post the updated version on the Platform and revise the "Last Updated" date, and provide notice of material changes where appropriate.
