1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the website recognize your device, remember your preferences, and improve your overall browsing experience.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
The table below describes the categories of cookies used on this Website. Specific cookie names, providers, and durations will be completed once analytics and functional tooling are finalized, and published here before those tools go live.
| Category | Provider | Purpose | Duration | Consent required |
|---|---|---|---|---|

3. Consent and Managing Cookies
On your first visit, the Website will present a cookie banner allowing you to accept or decline non-essential cookies (analytics and functional) before they are set. Essential cookies are exempt from consent as they are strictly necessary for the Website to function. Disabling certain cookies may impact Website functionality.
4. Legal Basis
Where the Nigeria Data Protection Act and NDPR apply, non-essential cookies are set only with your consent. Where the EU/UK GDPR and ePrivacy rules apply to a visitor, the same consent-first approach applies to non-essential cookies.
5. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our operational practices. Any updates will be posted directly on this page with a revised Effective Date.
