Cookie policy
Version 1.1. Effective . Last updated .
Applies to: Famunera Ltd (Uganda)
What changed
Analytics are now Famunera's own. Visits are counted anonymously for everyone, without cookies; with analytics consent, the pages and features you use are linked to your account. PostHog is no longer used.
This policy explains the cookies and similar browser storage that famunera.com uses, why we use them and how you control them.
1. What we use
Cookies are small files that a website stores in your browser. We also use local storage and session storage in your browser, and this policy treats them the same way as cookies. Everything we store falls into one of three categories: necessary, analytics and marketing. Until you make a choice, we use necessary storage only.
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|
| fm_web.* | Keeps you signed in and protects your session. | Up to 30 days | Necessary |
| fm_preview.* | Keeps you signed in on preview sites. | Up to 30 days | Necessary |
| better-auth.last_used_login_method | Remembers how you last signed in, so the sign-in page can suggest it. | 30 days | Necessary |
| fm_consent | Remembers your cookie choice. | 12 months | Necessary |
| fm_consent_sync | Matches your cookie choice with your account once per visit. | Until you close the tab | Necessary |
| fm_cart | Remembers your marketplace cart before you sign in. | 30 days | Necessary |
| fm_currency | Remembers the currency you chose for prices. | 12 months | Necessary |
| sidebar_state | Remembers whether the app sidebar is open. | 7 days | Necessary |
| fm_density | Remembers the row height you chose for tables. | 12 months | Necessary |
| theme | Remembers your light or dark theme. | Until you clear it | Necessary |
| fm_recent:* | Remembers your recent searches in the app. | Until you clear it | Necessary |
| fm_table_columns:* | Remembers the table columns you chose. | Until you clear it | Necessary |
| fai_chat_seen | Remembers that you closed the FAI assistant, so it does not open on its own again. | Until you clear it | Necessary |
| fm_ref | Credits the partner whose link you followed. | 60 days | Marketing |
| g_state | Remembers whether you closed Google's sign-in prompt. | Set by Google | Marketing |
2. Necessary
Necessary cookies keep the site working: they keep you signed in and remember your cart, your display settings and your cookie choice. You cannot turn them off, because the site does not work without them.
Two services run only when you use them. Cloudflare Turnstile checks that a form is sent by a person when you submit it, and Google sign-in runs when you choose to continue with Google. Both run in frames from their own domains.
3. Analytics
We measure how famunera.com is used with our own analytics, so we can improve the site. Nothing is sent to another company.
For every visitor we count visits and pages without cookies, without storing anything on your device and without storing your IP address. A visit is told apart by a code made from your IP address and browser that changes every day, so visits on different days cannot be linked. Because nothing is stored on your device, this does not depend on your cookie choice.
With your permission (analytics), we also link the pages and features you use to your account while you are signed in, so we can see how members use Famunera. We keep these records for 13 months, and daily totals without any account longer.
4. Marketing
With your permission we remember which partner referred you, so they get credit for the referral, and Google may offer to sign you in with your Google account (One Tap). We do not use advertising or remarketing pixels.
5. Product view counts
We count how often products are viewed without cookies, without storing anything on your device and without storing your IP address. Because nothing is stored on your device, this does not depend on your cookie choice.
6. Videos
Videos on our pages load from youtube-nocookie.com only after you click play. Nothing loads from YouTube before that.
7. Your choice and how to change it
On your first visit a banner asks for your choice: Accept all, Reject all or Customize. Rejecting is as easy as accepting, and the site works the same either way.
Your choice is stored in the fm_consent cookie for 12 months. After that, or when we add a new service or category, we ask again.
You can change or withdraw your choice at any time with Cookie settings, in the footer of every page and at the top of this page. When you withdraw analytics, we stop linking what you use to your account. When you withdraw marketing, we delete the referral cookie and Google does not offer One Tap again.
When you are signed in, your choice is also saved with your account, so it applies on your other devices. We keep no record of choices made by visitors who are not signed in: the cookie on your device is the only record.
8. Global Privacy Control
If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal and you have not made a choice, we treat it as Reject all and do not show the banner. You can still turn on analytics or marketing with Cookie settings.
9. Changes to this policy
We update this policy when we add or change cookies. The version and dates at the top of this page show which version is current.
