Cookie Policy
Last updated: 12 April 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how AAKIJA Ltd (“AAKIJA”, “we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website at aakija.com and our application at app.aakija.com (together, “the Sites”). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to the site operator. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (“first-party cookies”) or by third-party services that appear on the page.
Cookies can be “persistent” (stored on your device until they expire or you delete them) or “session” (deleted when you close your browser).
2. How We Use Cookies
We categorise our cookies into the following groups:
2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Sites to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as logging in, setting privacy preferences, or filling in forms. Without these cookies, core functionality like authentication and security would not work.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| aakija_session | Maintains your authenticated session | Session |
| aakija_refresh | Secure refresh token for session renewal | 7 days |
| aakija_csrf | Cross-site request forgery protection | Session |
| cookie_consent | Stores your cookie consent preferences | 12 months |
Legal basis: These cookies do not require consent under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) as they are strictly necessary for the service you have requested.
2.2 Functional Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalisation, such as remembering your display preferences (e.g. calendar view, sidebar state) and language settings. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| aakija_prefs | Stores display preferences (calendar view, sidebar state) | 12 months |
Legal basis: Consent. These cookies are only set after you accept them via the cookie banner.
2.3 Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Sites by collecting and reporting information anonymously. We use privacy-respecting analytics that do not track individuals across websites and do not share data with advertising networks.
Legal basis: Consent. Analytics cookies are only set after you accept them via the cookie banner.
2.4 Cookies We Do Not Use
We do not use:
- Advertising or targeting cookies
- Cross-site tracking cookies
- Social media tracking pixels
- Any cookies that profile individuals for advertising purposes
We do not sell personal data to third parties.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies may be placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. We use the following third-party services that may set cookies:
- Stripe: Used for payment processing. Stripe may set cookies for fraud detection and security purposes. See Stripe’s Cookie Policy
We review all third-party cookies regularly and only permit those necessary for the functionality of the services we integrate.
4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
4.1 Cookie Banner
When you first visit the Sites, a cookie banner will be displayed. You can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customise your preferences. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of any page.
4.2 Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to block or delete cookies, but this may affect the functionality of the Sites. Instructions for common browsers:
- Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Cookies and site data
4.3 Consequences of Disabling Cookies
If you disable strictly necessary cookies, you will not be able to log in to the Platform or use core features. Disabling functional cookies may mean some preferences are not remembered between visits. Disabling analytics cookies will not affect your use of the Sites.
5. Local Storage and Similar Technologies
In addition to cookies, the Platform uses browser local storage to persist application state (such as sidebar preferences and calendar view settings). Local storage data is stored only on your device, is not sent to our servers, and can be cleared through your browser settings.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or in applicable law. Material changes will be communicated via the cookie banner on your next visit. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page indicates when the most recent changes were made.
