Cookie Policy
Last updated: April 18, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Shoboca uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website or use our platform. For a broader description of how we handle personal data, please read our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit. They are widely used to make sites work, remember settings, keep you signed in, reduce fraud, and measure site performance.
Similar technologies
We may also use local storage, session storage, pixels, or SDKs in apps for similar purposes — for example to cache UI preferences or support analytics. In this Policy, “cookies” includes those technologies unless we say otherwise.
2. How we use cookies
We group our use of cookies and similar technologies into these categories:
- Strictly necessary: Required for the Service to operate — for example maintaining your session, authentication tokens, security (including CSRF protection), routing, and resilience. Without these, core features such as signing in, placing orders, or completing checkout may not work. These are not used for optional marketing.
- Functionality and preferences: To remember choices you make (such as language, region, or display options) so we do not have to ask every time, and to improve usability.
- Analytics and performance: To measure how the Service is used — for example which pages load, approximate navigation paths, and technical errors — so we can fix bugs and improve performance. We may use first-party analytics or third-party tools that set their own cookies, subject to their policies.
The exact names, lifetimes, and providers of cookies can change as we update the platform. If we add optional non-essential cookies that require consent under applicable law, we will provide a choice mechanism where required.
3. Third-party cookies
Some cookies may be placed by third parties when we embed their services — for example payment providers, fraud prevention, maps, video players, analytics, or customer-support widgets. Those providers have their own privacy and cookie notices; we do not control how they set cookies on their domains.
We encourage you to read their policies and use browser or device controls where you want to limit tracking. Where a third party acts as our processor, they are required to use data only as instructed by us and subject to appropriate agreements.
4. Managing cookies
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block third-party cookies, delete existing cookies, or alert you before a cookie is stored. Blocking or deleting strictly necessary cookies may affect login, cart, checkout, or security features — for example you may need to sign in more often or some pages may not load correctly.
For general guidance on cookies, you can visit aboutcookies.org (third-party resource; we are not responsible for its content).
5. Updates
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, our practices, or legal requirements. We will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. If changes are material, we may provide additional notice (for example through the Service or by email). Continued use of the platform after the effective date is subject to the updated Policy, unless applicable law requires your explicit consent for specific changes.
6. Contact
If you have questions about how we use cookies or similar technologies, contact us through the support or contact options available on the Shoboca platform. For broader questions about personal data, see our Privacy Policy.
