Cookie Policy
1. What Are Cookies & Local Storage?
Cookies are compact alphanumeric text files placed on your browser or mobile device when you access digital platforms like Obyọma. Alongside modern browser local storage and secure session tokens, they enable our systems to identify your device, recall your account settings, and provide a fluid, responsive user experience without requiring repeated log-in verification on every screen transition.
2. Strictly Essential Session Cookies
These tokens are technically indispensable for the operation of the Obyọma web applications and customer portals. They manage secure authentication handshakes, protect your workspace against cross-site request forgery (CSRF), and ensure that staff members access only their authorized atelier permissions. Disabling essential cookies will prevent the core workspace from operating correctly.
3. Language & Preference Cookies
To serve diverse creative hubs across Africa and international diaspora fashion capitals, Obyọma supports multiple global and indigenous languages (including English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Yorùbá, Igbo, and Hausa). We utilize minimal preference cookies (such as 'googtrans') solely to remember your chosen language selection so that your reading preferences remain consistent across page reloads and future visits.
4. Performance & Operational Diagnostics
We collect non-identifiable, aggregated diagnostic metrics that help our engineering team measure page render speeds, offline database sync performance, and error frequencies. These telemetry data points are strictly utilized to optimize software responsiveness on varying network bandwidths and do not track your browsing activity across unrelated third-party websites.
5. Third-Party Integrations & Secure Payments
When purchasing subscriptions or processing client transaction fees through integrated banking gateways, our verified payment partners may deploy temporary fraud-detection tokens to validate transaction integrity and prevent unauthorized card usage. These integrations comply with global PCI-DSS data security standards.
6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Most web browsers automatically accept cookies by default, but provide granular settings allowing you to inspect, block, or delete stored cookies at any time. Please note that restricting essential session cookies may impair the functionality of your atelier dashboard.
