Cookie & Tracking Policy

Last updated: 24 September 2026

General Notice

This document provides comprehensive transparency regarding how Teckwik Technologies deploys cookies, browser storage, and related tracking technologies across Teckwik Mobility Infrastructure (T-Mobility).

Introduction

Teckwik Technologies (“Teckwik Technologies”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is dedicated to protecting your privacy while delivering high-speed, resilient urban transit software through the Teckwik Mobility Infrastructure (also known as “T-Mobility”).

When you visit our websites, install or run our Progressive Web Apps (PWAs), or interact with our public dashboards, we and our authorized service providers use cookies, web beacons, session storage, and local storage technologies. This policy explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and the controls available to you.

What Are Cookies and Local Storage?

A cookie is a small text file placed on your computer or mobile device by a web server when you access a webpage. Cookies enable the platform to recognize your device across sessions, maintain security, and remember operational preferences.

In addition to traditional HTTP cookies, our Progressive Web App (PWA) client utilizes modern browser storage mechanisms, including LocalStorage, SessionStorage, and IndexedDB, to store offline vector map tiles and maintain connection resilience in areas with patchy mobile internet connectivity.

Categories of Cookies We Use

We organize our cookies and storage mechanisms into four distinct functional categories:

Strictly Necessary (Essential)

Required

Crucial for core functionality. These include session identifiers (_t_mobility_session), Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) tokens, load-balancing headers, and cryptographic authentication cookies. The platform cannot function without these cookies, and they cannot be disabled.

Functional & Preferences

Preferences

Remember your chosen service area or city (e.g. Warri, Asaba, Lagos), preferred vehicle categories, recent pickup points, interface theme, and language choices, eliminating the need to re-enter them upon every visit.

Performance & Diagnostic Telemetry

Diagnostics

Collect aggregated, non-personally identifiable metrics on page load times, spatial API response latency, and system crash diagnostics. This enables our engineering team to diagnose bottlenecks and ensure instantaneous ride dispatching.

Geospatial & Offline Caching

Offline PWA

Stores MapLibre GL vector tiles, routing geometry cache, and service worker shell assets in local browser storage. This ensures that maps remain fast and responsive during active trips even when traveling through low-bandwidth corridors.

Third-Party Services and Advertising Policy

We collaborate with a limited number of regulated third-party infrastructure providers who may set cookies or inspect tokens during transactions:

  • Licensed Payment Gateways: When completing digital checkout or tokenizing bank cards, our CBN-licensed partners (Paystack, Flutterwave) deploy encrypted cookies strictly to prevent financial fraud and authenticate 3D-Secure challenges.
  • Mapping & Font Infrastructure: MapLibre and typography stylesheets are served via optimized content delivery networks to guarantee sub-second rendering across Nigeria.

Zero Advertising Tracking Commitment

Teckwik Technologies does not host third-party commercial advertisements, does not deploy tracking pixels from behavioral advertising networks, and never sells your browsing or spatial data to third-party data brokers.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Most modern web browsers allow you to manage cookie preferences and clear stored website data through their settings menus. You can configure your browser to refuse all cookies, notify you when a cookie is placed, or delete existing cookies:

  • Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data
  • Apple Safari (macOS & iOS): Settings > Safari > Privacy & Security > Block All Cookies
  • Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Enhanced Tracking Protection
  • Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions

Impact of Disabling Cookies

Please note that because our essential cookies are necessary for secure authentication, CSRF validation, and spatial session coordination, disabling cookies entirely in your browser will prevent you from signing in to your account, requesting rides, managing driver wallets, or completing trip payments.

Compliance with Nigerian Data Protection Laws

Our deployment of cookies and device storage is conducted in full compliance with Section 24 of the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 (NDPA) and regulatory directives issued by the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC). For more information regarding your statutory privacy rights, please refer to our Privacy Policy and our NDPR Compliance Statement.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to accommodate modifications to our technical infrastructure, service offerings, or legal obligations. Revisions will be published on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.
