Cookie Policy

Last updated: March 2026

RentSawa uses only essential cookies. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking cookies, or third-party analytics cookies that follow you across the web.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit — like keeping you logged in.

Cookies We Use

Cookie / Storage KeyPurposeTypeDuration
rentsawa-auth Stores your landlord authentication token to keep you logged in Essential Until logout or token expiry (15 minutes, auto-refreshed)
rentsawa-tenant Stores tenant portal authentication token Essential 7 days or until logout
rentsawa-admin Stores super admin authentication token Essential 8 hours or until logout

These are stored using your browser's localStorage rather than traditional HTTP cookies, but they serve the same purpose — keeping you authenticated while you use the platform.

Cookies We Do NOT Use

We do not use:

Advertising cookies (e.g. Google Ads, Facebook Pixel) · Analytics cookies that track you across websites · Third-party session recording tools (e.g. Hotjar, FullStory) · Social media tracking pixels

Third-Party Services

Our platform connects to Safaricom M-Pesa and Africa's Talking for payment and SMS processing. These services operate under their own privacy and cookie policies. The RentSawa homepage uses Google Fonts, which may set performance cookies on your device.

Managing Cookies

Since we only use essential authentication storage, disabling it would prevent you from logging in. You can clear your stored data at any time by logging out, or by clearing your browser's local storage in your browser settings.

Changes to This Policy

If we ever introduce new cookies or analytics, we will update this page and notify users. We will always ask for consent before using any non-essential cookies.
