Cookie Policy
Last updated 2 October 2026 · Version 2026-10-02
This page explains the cookies and similar browser storage Urban Bites uses, and how to control them. It is part of our Privacy Policy.
1. What these are
Cookies are small files a website saves in your browser. We also use local storage and session storage, which work in a similar way. We use the word "cookies" for all of them here.
2. What we store
| Name | Category | What it's for | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| ub_token | Essential | Keeps you signed in and secures your requests | Until you sign out or the session expires |
| Cart (ub_cart…) | Essential | Remembers the items you've added while you shop | Until you check out or clear it |
| Payment return marker (session storage) | Essential | Lets us show the right order after you come back from M-Pesa or Paystack | Until you close the tab |
| ub_consent | Essential | Remembers the cookie choices you made here | 12 months |
| cb_theme | Preferences | Remembers light, dark or system theme | Until you clear it or withdraw consent |
| ub_last_location | Preferences | Remembers your last delivery location so we can show nearby Services | Until you clear it or withdraw consent |
| Analytics | Analytics | None in use today. If we add analytics later they will load only after you opt in | — |
3. Third-party content
To show a page, your browser may fetch fonts, map tiles, images or scripts from other providers (for example Google Fonts, OpenStreetMap-based map services and image hosts). Those providers receive your IP address and browser details, as with any website, and may set their own cookies. When you pay, Paystack or Safaricom M-Pesa pages that open belong to them and are covered by their policies. We list the providers we use in our Privacy Policy.
4. Your choices
- Use the button below to open the cookie settings and change what you allow. Switching off Preferences erases the theme and location we remembered.
- You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block essential ones, sign-in, the cart and payments will stop working.
- Your browser or phone asks separately before sharing your location. You can refuse and enter an address instead.
