Optional categories
Optional processing starts only after your choice. Rejecting it does not prevent shopping, account access or checkout. Google Analytics and Meta rows apply only if that integration is enabled on AfroMarket.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Analytics | _ga, _ga_* | Distinguishes browsers and preserves session state for Google Analytics, only when the integration is enabled and you consent. | Up to 2 years; an enabled integration or browser may shorten it | Google Analytics | Off |
| Analytics | _gid | Distinguishes browsers for a legacy Google Analytics integration, only when that integration is enabled and you consent. | 24 hours | Google Analytics | Off |
| Analytics | _gat, _gat_* | Limits request frequency for a legacy Google Analytics integration, only when that integration is enabled and you consent. | 1 minute | Google Analytics | Off |
| Marketing | tracking | Remembers a valid AfroMarket campaign or affiliate code so a later order can be attributed to that referral. | Current browser session; no persistent affiliate lifetime is configured | AfroMarket | Off |
| Marketing | _fbp, _fbc | Identifies a browser and, where present, a Meta advertising click for advertising measurement, only when the integration is enabled and you consent. | 90 days | Meta | Off |
Changing your choice
Use "Cookie settings" in the footer at any time. Accept all and reject optional choices are presented at the same level; optional switches are off by default.
Changing a choice applies to future processing. When a category is off, or no valid saved choice exists, AfroMarket removes known optional cookies under its domain while leaving necessary storage intact.
Browser controls
You can also delete or block cookies in your browser. Blocking strictly necessary cookies can empty the cart, end sign-in or prevent checkout from working.
