Cookie Policy
Last updated: June 1, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how EcoFamilies uses them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. By using our platform, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit — such as your preferred language or login status — making your next visit easier and the site more useful.
Cookies can be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (remain until they expire or you delete them). We use both types.
2. How We Use Cookies
EcoFamilies uses cookies to:
• Keep you logged in during your session
• Remember your language preference (English, Dari, or Pashto)
• Remember your location settings for merchant search
• Analyze how you use our platform to improve features
• Show you relevant deals and merchant recommendations
• Measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
3. Types of Cookies We Use
| Type | Purpose | Duration | Can Disable? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Login session, security, language preference, CSRF protection | Session / 30 days | No (required) |
| Functional | Remembering your filter settings, merchant favorites, and UI preferences | 6 months | Yes |

4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. These include:

These third parties have their own privacy policies and we do not control their cookie practices. We recommend reviewing their policies separately.
5. Managing Cookies in Your Browser
Most browsers allow you to view, manage, delete, and block cookies. You can usually find these settings in your browser's Privacy or Settings menu. Note that blocking essential cookies will affect your ability to log in and use core platform features.
