Last updated: August 24, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how 237 Host uses cookies and similar technologies on our website and dashboard.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences over time. We use cookies to provide essential functionality and improve your experience.

2. Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are required for the website to function. They cannot be disabled.

  • XSRF-TOKEN — Protects against Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks. Expires after 2 hours.
  • 237-host-session — Identifies your authenticated session. Expires after 2 hours. Marked as HttpOnly and Secure.

Functional Cookies

These cookies enhance your experience but are not strictly necessary.

  • Theme/UI preferences — Remembers your dashboard preferences (e.g., tab state via Alpine.js). These are stored in browser memory (localStorage) rather than cookies.

Analytics Cookies

We do not currently use third-party analytics cookies (Google Analytics, etc.). If we add analytics in the future, we will update this policy and seek your consent.

Third-Party Cookies

Our payment processors (MTN MoMo, Orange Money) and domain registrar (OpenProvider) may set their own cookies on their respective pages. We do not control these cookies — please review their privacy policies directly.

3. Cookie Security

  • Session cookies are marked as Secure — only transmitted over HTTPS
  • Session cookies are marked as HttpOnly — not accessible via JavaScript, preventing XSS theft
  • CSRF token cookie uses SameSite=Lax — limits cross-site transmission

4. Managing Cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings:

  • Chrome — Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies
  • Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies
  • Safari — Preferences → Privacy → Cookies

Disabling essential cookies will prevent you from logging in and using the dashboard.

5. Cookie Prefixing

We are working to add __Host- prefixes to our cookies for additional security, as recommended by modern browser standards.

6. Changes to This Policy

If we add, remove, or change cookies, we will update this policy and notify users of significant changes.
