We do not use cookies for advertising or analytics. Your theme preference (light/dark) and login session are stored locally in your browser, not as cookies. Cookies on this site come from two third-party services we rely on: Paystack, to securely process payments during checkout, and Tawk.to, to power our live chat support widget.
When you first visit, a banner lets you accept or decline these cookies. Paystack's cookies are strictly necessary to complete a payment you initiate and cannot be declined. If you decline, the Tawk.to chat widget will not load; you can still reach us by email. You can change your choice at any time by clearing your browser's site data for spotlightdirectories.com.
