Cookie Policy

Last Updated: February 26, 2026

This Cookie Policy forms part of our Privacy Policy. It explains how SupaKera Ltd ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar digital tracking technologies (such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage) when you visit our website, use our mobile application, or interact with our online services (collectively, the "Platform").

We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. This policy provides detailed information about how and when we use cookies, in compliance with the Data Protection Act, 2012 (Act 843) of Ghana and recognized global standards regarding informed consent and privacy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website or use an app. They are widely used by online service providers to make their websites or services work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, SupaKera) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., interactive content and analytics).

2. Why We Use Tracking Technologies

Under Section 21 of Act 843, we must ensure the security of processing and provide a functional interface for our users. We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons:

  • Essential Functionality: Some cookies are strictly necessary for technical reasons for our Platform to operate securely, such as enabling you to log into secure areas or processing shopping carts.
  • Performance and Optimization: They help us understand how the Platform is performing, monitor errors, and optimize the user experience.
  • Personalization: They allow us to remember your preferences (like language or location) to provide an enhanced, customized experience.
  • Analytics: To track aggregated, anonymized metrics to understand user behavior, which informs our continuous improvement process.

3. Detailed Classification of Cookies We Use

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for you to browse the Platform and use its features. Without these cookies, services like secure login, shopping baskets, and e-billing cannot be provided. You cannot opt out of these cookies.

3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect information about how you use our Platform, for instance, which pages you go to most often, and if you get error messages. They do not collect information that directly identifies you.

  • Vercel Web Analytics: We use Vercel to measure web vitals and overall site performance, ensuring rapid load times for our users across Ghana.
  • Google Analytics: We use aggregated data to understand traffic sources, user journeys, and app interaction rates.

3.3 Marketing and Targeting Cookies

We may use these cookies to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are only placed if you explicitly opt-in via our Cookie Consent Widget.

4. Your Consent and Control

Consistent with the principle of Informed Consent under Act 843, we empower you to manage your cookie preferences:

  • Cookie Consent Interface: Upon your first visit, a banner/widget will appear allowing you to "Accept All" or restrict cookies to "Necessary Only." You can alter this choice dynamically.
  • Browser Controls: Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through the browser settings. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. Please note that disabling essential cookies will break critical functionality like logging in or adding items to a cart.
  • Third-Party Opt-Outs: You can opt out of Google Analytics specifically by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

5. Mobile Application Tracking

When using the SupaKera mobile application (Android/iOS), cookies are not the primary tracking mechanism. Instead, we use device identifiers (such as Apple's IDFA or Google's Advertising ID) and local storage. Your operating system provides native controls to limit ad tracking, which we strictly respect.

6. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or changes in applicable Ghanaian or international law. We encourage you to review this page regularly for the latest information on our privacy practices.
