Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for the basic functionality of our platform. These cookies enable core features such as user authentication, session management, shopping cart functionality, and secure checkout. Without these cookies, services you have requested cannot be provided. Essential cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes and cannot be disabled while using our platform. They are automatically set when you access Khoomi and are deleted when you close your browser or after a set expiration period.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow our platform to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalised features. These include remembering your preferred language, region, display settings, and recently viewed products. They may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as saving items to your wishlist or remembering your shipping address for faster checkout. Functional cookies do not track your activity on other websites. If you disable these cookies, some features and personalisation may not work as expected.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our platform by collecting and reporting information anonymously. These cookies allow us to measure the number of visitors, see which pages are the most and least popular, and understand how visitors navigate through the site. This information helps us improve the performance and design of our marketplace. All data collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We use this data solely to improve how Khoomi works for our community of buyers and sellers.
