What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that help us remember you between sessions, keep you signed in, and understand how teams navigate Akangbou. We also rely on similar technologies such as localStorage and tracking pixels.
Cookies We Use
Essential
Required to run authentication, security, and payment features.
- Session cookies that keep you logged in as you move between feed, events, and marketplace surfaces.
- Security cookies that detect unusual login activity or throttle abusive requests.
- Stripe cookies that allow us to embed payment elements securely.
Analytics
Help us measure product performance and prioritize roadmap work.
- First-party analytics to understand waitlist conversion, event goal attainment, and feature usage.
- Sentry error-tracking cookies to diagnose crashes or slowdowns.
Functional
Improve your experience but are not strictly necessary.
- Remembering filter preferences on professional directories and saved searches.
- Storing dismissed announcements so you are not shown the same message repeatedly.
Managing Preferences
- Most browsers allow you to delete or block cookies via settings. Blocking essential cookies may prevent you from signing in or processing payments.
- You can opt out of analytics cookies via the “Manage Cookies” link in the footer or by emailing privacy@akangbou.com.
- To opt out of Sentry tracking, enable “Do Not Track” in your browser. We honor the signal for logged-in users.
