KoboRoute Nigeria Ltd

Cookie Policy

A complete list of what KoboRoute stores in your browser. There are no advertising or analytics cookies, which is why you are not being asked to accept anything.

Effective 17 August 2026 · Published in English only

1. Why there is no cookie banner

Consent is required for cookies that are not necessary to provide a service you asked for — advertising, cross-site tracking, and third-party analytics. KoboRoute sets none of those. Every item below is either strictly necessary or a preference you set yourself by using a control on the site.

We would rather list what we store and explain it than interrupt you with a dialogue that has no real choice behind it. If we ever add analytics or advertising, we will ask first, and this page will change before it happens.

2. Cookies we set

koboroute-lang

  • Purpose: remembers whether you chose English or Nigerian Pidgin.
  • Set when: you use the language switcher.
  • Contains: a language code — en or pcm. Nothing identifying.
  • Type: first-party preference cookie.

koboroute_admin

  • Purpose: keeps a signed-in administrator signed in.
  • Set when: a member of staff signs in to the operations dashboard. It is never set for ordinary visitors.
  • Contains: a cryptographically signed session value. It expires after 12 hours.
  • Type: first-party, strictly necessary.

3. Things stored in your browser that are not cookies

These live in your browser's local storage. They are never sent to our servers — they stay on your device and are readable only by this site.

koboroute-favourites

The routes you saved with the star button. Kept on your device precisely so that saving a route does not require an account or tell us anything about you.

koboroute-install-snooze

Records that you dismissed the "install this app" prompt, so it stops asking.

Display preferences

Your text size, contrast and reduced-motion choices from the Display panel, so the site opens the way you left it.

Offline cache

A service worker stores pages and an active Trip Pass so they work without a connection — which matters on a journey. It holds the same information the page would show online.

4. Third-party cookies

KoboRoute embeds no advertising, no social widgets and no third-party analytics, so no third party sets a cookie through our pages.

When you pay, you are taken to Paystack, who set their own cookies to process the transaction securely. That happens on their domain under their cookie policy. When you return, you are back under this one.

5. Controlling what is stored

  • Clear everything: clear site data for koboroute.vercel.app in your browser settings. This removes saved routes and preferences; nothing on our servers changes.
  • Block cookies: your browser can block them for this site. The site still works, but it will forget your language and display preferences on every visit, and staff will not be able to sign in.
  • Saved routes only: remove them individually with the star button.
