Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences, keep you logged in and understand how you use the service. South African law, including the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) and the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act (ECT Act), requires us to obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies.
These are strictly necessary for the platform to function. They maintain your login session, remember your authentication state and protect against cross-site request forgery. You cannot opt out of these cookies as the service will not work without them.
We use analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with our website. These cookies collect anonymised data such as pages visited, time on site and referral source. This helps us improve the platform. We currently use Vercel Analytics for this purpose.
These remember your preferences such as selected date ranges, dashboard layout choices and theme settings. They improve your experience but are not strictly necessary.
Some cookies are placed by third-party services we integrate with, including Supabase (authentication), PayFast (payment processing) and Vercel (hosting and analytics). These services have their own cookie and privacy policies. We do not use any advertising or tracking cookies from ad networks.
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block all cookies, accept all cookies, or be notified before a cookie is set. Please note that blocking essential cookies will prevent you from using ShelfRocket.

Under POPIA you have the right to know what personal information we process, including information collected through cookies. You may withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time by adjusting your browser settings or contacting us. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
