Introduction and Purpose of This Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how EduTalks (“we”, “our”, or “us”), operating via https://www.edutalks.com.ng, uses cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels, and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website. It outlines the specific types of cookies we deploy, their functions, how third-party advertising partners (such as Google AdSense) utilize cookies, and the controls you have over their storage on your device.
By continuing to navigate and use EduTalks, you consent to our use of cookies in accordance with the terms set forth in this policy and in compliance with the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA 2023) and recognized international privacy frameworks.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files containing strings of alphanumeric characters that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or tablet when you load web pages in your browser. Cookies allow a website to recognize your browser, preserve your user preferences, measure page load performance, and ensure that security and navigation systems function smoothly.
Cookies may be “persistent” (remaining on your device until a set expiration date or until you manually delete them) or “session-based” (automatically deleted as soon as you close your web browser).
Categories of Cookies We Use
EduTalks uses the following categories of cookies to deliver a reliable, secure, and personalized reading experience:
1. Strictly Necessary & Operational Cookies
These cookies are essential for our website to operate correctly and cannot be disabled in our systems. They enable core site functions such as page navigation, secure search querying, form submission token validation, and server cache acceleration via LiteSpeed. Without these cookies, basic services you request cannot be fulfilled.
2. Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies collect aggregated, anonymous statistical information regarding how visitors interact with EduTalks—such as which admission guides are most frequently read, the average time spent reviewing articles, and whether users encounter error pages. We utilize this anonymized data exclusively to refine content organization, accelerate page load times, and improve mobile layout readability.
3. Preference & Functionality Cookies
These cookies remember your preferences and interface choices—such as your chosen reading theme (dark/light mode), preferred font sizing, and recently viewed education tools—so that you do not need to reconfigure them on subsequent visits.
4. Advertising and Marketing Cookies (Google AdSense & Third-Party Partners)
To keep our educational guides, calculators, and legal resources freely accessible to all Nigerian students and parents, EduTalks partners with third-party advertising networks, principally Google AdSense.
- Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve advertisements on EduTalks based on your prior visits to our site or other websites across the internet.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its advertising partners to display relevant advertisements to users based on their browsing history, interests, and demographic categories.
- Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s official Ads Settings page or by utilizing the AboutAds Choices portal.
Managing and Controlling Your Cookie Preferences
You have the absolute legal right to decide whether to accept, reject, or delete cookies at any time. You can modify your preferences through the following mechanisms:
- Browser Controls: Most modern web browsers (Google Chrome, Apple Safari, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Opera) allow you to view, delete, and block cookies through their settings or preferences panel. Note that blocking essential cookies may affect website functionality, such as interactive calculators and search filters.
- Google Ad Personalization Controls: You can manage or disable Google’s personalized ads by visiting the Google My Ad Center.
- Mobile Device Identifiers: In your mobile operating system settings (Android and iOS), you can reset your mobile advertising identifier or limit ad tracking.
