Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you don't have to re-enter settings each time you return.
Stodacom Africa uses cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage and session tokens) on the stodacomdesktop.com compliance intelligence platform to provide a secure, reliable, and personalized experience.
We use cookies strictly for the purposes described in this policy. We do not sell or share your cookie data with third-party advertisers. Our cookies fall into the following categories:

Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the platform to function. They enable core features such as authentication, session management, and security. Without these cookies, the service cannot be provided.
These cookies do not require your consent under applicable data protection law (GDPR Article 6(1)(f) — legitimate interests) and cannot be disabled. They never track you across other websites and contain no personally identifiable information beyond a session identifier.
With your consent, we use anonymized analytics cookies to understand how the platform is used — for example, which features are most used, page load performance, and error rates. This data is never linked to your identity and is used solely to improve the platform.
Analytics data is processed and stored within our own infrastructure and is not shared with third-party analytics services such as Google Analytics. You may opt out of analytics cookies at any time using the preference controls below.
You can control which optional cookies are active on your account. Essential and security cookies cannot be disabled as they are required for the platform to operate safely.
Stodacom Africa does not currently embed third-party advertising, social media widgets, or external analytics services that would place cookies from other domains on your device.
Some features may load resources from trusted third-party content delivery networks (CDNs) for performance purposes. These CDNs do not set tracking cookies and are governed by their own privacy policies.
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable Ugandan data protection law, you have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of data collected through cookies. You may also withdraw consent for optional cookies at any time using the preference controls above.
In addition to the controls on this page, most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can typically find cookie controls under Settings → Privacy & Security. Note that disabling essential cookies will prevent you from logging in to the platform.
To submit a data access or deletion request, please contact our Data Protection Officer at info@stodacom.com or submit a request through the Privacy Request page.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our service. When we make material changes, we will notify registered users via the platform and update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
Continued use of the platform after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
