Cookie Policy

Last updated: March 2026

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow sites to remember your preferences, maintain your session, and understand how you use the service.

SlasPay uses cookies and similar technologies (including session storage and security tokens) to keep your session secure, remember your preferences, and improve the reliability of our payment platform.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for SlasPay to function. They cannot be disabled without breaking core platform features such as logging in, maintaining your session, and processing payments securely.

  • Authentication session cookies (httpOnly, Secure flag)
  • CSRF protection tokens
  • Refresh token rotation cookies
  • Load balancing and infrastructure cookies
  • Security challenge cookies (fraud detection)

Functional Cookies

These cookies remember your preferences to provide a better experience. Disabling them may reduce platform convenience but will not prevent access.

  • Theme preference (dark/light mode)
  • Currency display preference
  • Language and locale settings
  • Remembered dashboard layout

Performance Cookies

First-party, anonymised analytics cookies help us understand how users interact with SlasPay so we can improve performance and reliability. No personally identifiable information is included in these reports.

  • Anonymised page visit tracking
  • Error and crash reporting
  • API response time monitoring

3. What We Do Not Use

SlasPay does not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or third-party tracking cookies. We do not share your browsing behaviour with advertising networks or data brokers. This is a financial platform — your activity on SlasPay is not used for advertising purposes.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Certain platform features involve third-party services that may set their own cookies:

  • Paystack: Payment processing (Nigeria)
  • Stripe: International card processing
  • Stellar Network: Blockchain transaction facilitation

These cookies are governed by the respective third parties' privacy policies. SlasPay does not control their cookies.

5. Cookie Duration

  • Session cookies: Expire when you close your browser
  • Authentication refresh tokens: 30 days (sliding window; reset on activity)
  • Preference cookies: 1 year
  • Security cookies: Session or as required by fraud detection systems

6. Managing Cookies

Browser Settings

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Note that blocking essential cookies will prevent you from logging in and using SlasPay.

Session Sign-Out

Signing out of SlasPay clears your authentication cookies and invalidates your refresh tokens on the server. For maximum security on shared devices, always sign out after each session.

7. Impact of Disabling Cookies

Disabling essential cookies will prevent you from:

  • Logging in to your SlasPay account
  • Completing any payment or transfer
  • Maintaining an authenticated session

Essential cookies are required for a financial platform to operate securely and cannot be made optional.

8. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when we introduce new platform features or in response to regulatory changes. Material updates will be notified via in-platform notice. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
