In short: we use a few essential cookies and similar storage to keep Business Floor working and you signed in. With your OK, we also use analytics to see which pages help people most. Choose "Essential only" and only the essentials are used. You can change your choice at any time.
Cookies are small files a website saves in your browser. Websites also use similar browser storage (local storage, session storage and IndexedDB) for the same purpose. In this policy, "cookies" means all of these. The Business Floor app doesn't use cookies, but it does use your device's storage to keep you signed in and remember your settings.
Business Floor can't work properly without these, so they don't need your consent.

We don't use advertising cookies, and we don't let other companies track you on Business Floor for advertising.
When you first visit, your browser asks ipapi.co which country your IP address is in, so we can show businesses near you. This doesn't set a cookie. Payment pages (Yoco, PayFast, Paystack) are run by those providers and use their own cookies, under their own policies.
We'll update this policy when the cookies we use change, and change the date at the top.
