Cookie Policy
Last updated 7/27/2026 • Version 1
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit it. They let a site remember information about your visit, such as your language preference or whether you're signed in, so you don't have to re-enter it every time you come back. AKAFI.net uses cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage and tracking scripts) across our marketplace.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for a few different purposes: to keep the platform working correctly (such as keeping you signed in and protecting your account), to remember your preferences, to understand how the platform is used so we can improve it, and — where enabled — to support marketing and measure the performance of ads. Each cookie or script we use falls into one of these categories, and every one of them is listed, with its name, category, party, duration, and purpose, in the live table below this page. That list reflects exactly what's currently active on AKAFI.net and updates automatically, rather than being hand-written here, so it never goes stale.
How to Control Your Preferences
When you first visit AKAFI.net, a banner lets you accept all cookies, reject the non-essential ones, or customize your choices by category. Necessary cookies can't be turned off, because the platform can't function without them; every other category is entirely up to you. You can change your mind at any time — open Cookie Preferences in the footer of any page to review or update your choices, or to withdraw your consent entirely. Withdrawing consent removes your saved choices, and we'll ask again the next time you visit.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example when we add a new feature or integrate a new service that uses cookies. Material changes will be reflected here with an updated version and effective date.

Necessary
| Name | Category | Party | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| access_token | Necessary | First-party | ~15 minutes of cryptographic validity; the cookie itself persists for your session length (same as refresh_token) so it can refresh automatically. | Keeps you signed in. Carries your session's short-lived access token, silently refreshed in the background. |
| refresh_token | Necessary | First-party | Session length — the site's configurable session lifetime (default 10 days; unlimited if left unset by the site). | Keeps you signed in across visits by renewing your session without asking you to log in again. |
| theme | Necessary | First-party | 1 year | Remembers your light/dark mode preference so the site renders correctly on your next visit. |
| country_override_v2 | Necessary | First-party | Up to 1 year (a shorter 30-day cookie is used for the transient 'global marketplace' fallback). | Remembers your chosen marketplace/country so listings and pricing are shown for the right region. |
Analytics
| Name | Category | Party | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| visitor_id | Analytics | First-party | 1 year | A stable, anonymous visitor identity so we can dedupe the same visitor across tabs and reloads instead of counting each page load as a new person, for presence and traffic metrics. |
| Yandex.Metrika | Analytics | Third-party | Managed by the script itself | Configured by site administrators. |
