Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, keep you signed in, and understand how you use the site.
We also use similar technologies like localStorage to store data on your device for a better experience.
Essential cookies — required for the platform to function:
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| session | Keeps you signed in to your account | 30 days |
| mkt_location | Remembers your selected delivery location | Until cleared |
| mkt_cart | Saves your cart items between page visits | Until cleared |
| mkt-theme | Remembers your light/dark mode preference | Until cleared |
These cookies cannot be disabled without affecting core functionality.
Analytics cookies — help us understand usage (optional):
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics — tracks page views and sessions | 2 years |
| _gid | Google Analytics — distinguishes users | 24 hours |
In addition to cookies, we use your browser's localStorage to store:
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| mkt_location | Your saved delivery area | Until you change it |
| mkt_cart | Items in your shopping cart | Until you clear it |
| mkt-theme | Your UI theme preference | Until you change it |
localStorage data is stored only on your device and is never transmitted to our servers.
Some features on Khawao may use cookies from third-party services:
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |

These third parties have their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing them for more information.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Here's how to manage cookies in popular browsers:
To clear localStorage data, open your browser's developer tools (F12) → Application → Local Storage → select the site → clear entries.
Note that disabling essential cookies will prevent you from signing in or using the cart.
We may update this Cookies Policy as we add new features or services. Changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of Khawao after changes constitutes acceptance.
