Cookies are small data files that a website stores on your browser or device. They serve a range of purposes, from keeping the site functional to helping the operator understand how visitors use it. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies novacoreanalytics.com uses, the purpose behind each category, and the options available to you for managing or disabling them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains more broadly how personal information is handled.
This policy is consistent with the requirements of the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 (NDPA) and the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation 2019 (NDPR), which require informed consent before any non-essential cookies are placed on a user's device.
What We Use Cookies For
We divide our cookie use into three categories. The first is essential cookies. These are technically necessary for the website to load and function. Without them, the site cannot remember your cookie preference choices, maintain a stable session during your visit, or deliver basic security functions. Because they are strictly necessary, they do not require your consent under Nigerian data protection law and cannot be switched off through our preference centre.
The second category is analytics cookies. These are optional. When you consent to them, they allow us to collect aggregated, anonymous information about how visitors find and navigate the site. This includes which pages receive the most attention, how long visitors typically spend on each section, and which paths visitors follow through the site. None of this information is used to identify you as an individual. It is used in aggregate form to help us understand what content is useful and where the site might be improved. You can refuse analytics cookies without affecting your ability to use the site.
The third category is functional cookies. These are also optional. They enable the site to remember choices you have made, such as your cookie preferences, so that you are not asked the same question on every visit. They may also be used in the future to support features such as language preferences or layout choices. Refusing functional cookies means you may be asked to confirm your preferences each time you visit.
Specific Cookies in Use
The cookie named nca_consent_v1 is an essential cookie set by this website to store your cookie consent preferences. It is a first-party cookie, meaning it is set directly by novacoreanalytics.com rather than by a third party. It expires after 365 days and contains a JSON-encoded record of which cookie categories you accepted. No personal identifying information is stored in this cookie.
If analytics functionality is enabled through your consent, cookies from web analytics platforms may be set. These third-party cookies are governed by the privacy and cookie policies of the respective platform providers. We recommend reviewing those policies if you have specific concerns about third-party data practices.
How to Manage Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit novacoreanalytics.com, a preference panel is displayed in the centre of the screen. This panel allows you to review each cookie category and toggle non-essential categories on or off before any such cookies are placed. You can accept all categories with a single click, or save a customised selection. Closing the panel without making a selection applies a minimal setting where only essential cookies are used.
Your preference is stored in the nca_consent_v1 cookie and will be remembered for twelve months. After that period, or if you clear your browser cookies, you will be asked again. You may also reset your preferences at any time by clearing your cookies in your browser settings, which will cause the preference panel to appear again on your next visit.
Most modern browsers provide tools to view, manage, and delete cookies stored on your device. You can typically find these controls in the Privacy or Security section of your browser settings. Disabling cookies at the browser level will override any preferences you have set through our panel, but may affect how well the site functions.
Third-Party Content and External Services
Our contact section includes an embedded Google Maps iframe to show our office location. Google Maps may set its own cookies when this map is loaded. These cookies are subject to Google's own privacy and cookie policies, which are available at google.com. We do not control what Google collects through this embedded component. If you prefer not to interact with it, you can view our address in text form and search for it independently.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when we change the technologies we use or when regulatory requirements change. The date shown at the top of this page reflects the last revision. Significant changes will be communicated through the cookie consent panel on your next visit to the site. Continued use of the site after any update acknowledges the revised policy.
