Cookie Policy

When you return to the site, the browser sends those files back, so the site can recognise your session, remember your preferences or measure how pages are used. Similar technologies - such as local storage, session storage and small tracking pixels - work in comparable ways, and this policy covers them all under the general term “cookies”.

A cookie typically comprises the domain that created it, a piece of data (frequently a unique identifier) and an expiration time. Cookies lack the ability to access other content stored on your device and do not function as executable software.

NairaRefinery AI uses cookies to keep the website secure and functional, to remember the choices you make, to understand which pages are useful, and - where you have agreed - to measure the performance of our marketing. Strictly necessary cookies are set as soon as you open the site because the site cannot work without them. All other categories are only activated after you give consent, and you may withdraw that consent at any time.

Strictly necessary cookies

These keep the site usable: they maintain your session while you move between pages, balance traffic across servers, protect forms against automated abuse and remember the cookie choices you have already made. They do not build a profile of you and cannot be switched off through our banner, because without them core functions such as signing in would fail.

Preference (functionality) cookies

These store your selected preferences - such as the site language, geographic location, viewing options or confirmation that you have closed a notice. They enhance user experience but are optional; should you decline them, the site remains fully functional and will simply request your preferences anew during each session.

Analytics (performance) cookies

These enable us to track page visits, identify which content is accessed, measure visitor duration and pinpoint technical issues. Data is reported in aggregate form: showing whether a page attracts traffic or performs slowly, without revealing your identity. We apply this information to resolve issues and optimize website layout.

Marketing (advertising) cookies

These track the source from which you accessed the site through a specific promotion or ad, prevent duplicate messaging, and assess whether a promotional effort resulted in conversion. Third-party marketing services may access these on external platforms. These are only activated following your express permission.

Session cookies exist only while your browser window is open and are erased automatically when you close it. Persistent cookies persist for the duration of their validity period or until you remove them; on this website their durations vary from several days to approximately twenty-four months, based on their function. The specific expiration of any given cookie may be reviewed at any time through your browser's storage preferences.

We keep the record of your consent choices for a limited period so that the banner does not reappear at every visit; after that period we will ask again.

Some cookies are set by service providers acting on our behalf, for example providers of web analytics, content delivery, fraud prevention or advertising measurement. These providers may read their own cookies when you visit other sites that use the same services. We do not control the content of third-party cookies; their use of the data they collect is governed by their own privacy and cookie notices.

Where a third-party cookie is not strictly necessary, it is only placed after you have consented through the cookie banner. If you would like a list of the providers currently in use, contact support and we will provide the up-to-date details.

Through our banner

Use the cookie banner or the cookie settings link on the site to accept or reject the preference, analytics and marketing categories. Rejecting a category stops new cookies of that type from being written; cookies already stored can be cleared through your browser.

Through your browser

All leading browsers enable you to examine stored cookies, remove them one at a time or in bulk, prevent cookies from particular websites, prevent all third-party cookies, or clear everything when the browser terminates. You will typically locate these options under a menu labeled "Settings", followed by "Privacy", "Privacy and security", "Site permissions" or "Cookies and site data". Mobile browsers provide equivalent functionality in their settings areas, and mobile platforms include separate tools for managing advertising identifiers.

Private browsing

Using the site within a private or incognito mode results in most cookies being removed upon closing that mode, although this does not stop them from being created while you are on the site.

Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent parts of the site from working: you may be unable to stay signed in, submit a form or complete a secure step. Blocking preference cookies means settings such as language are not remembered. Blocking analytics or marketing cookies has no effect on functionality - you will simply not be counted in our statistics and campaign measurement.

We review this policy periodically and update it when the cookies we use, the technologies behind them or the applicable rules change. The current version is always published on this page; material changes will be signalled on the site or through the cookie banner, and continued use after the update means the revised policy applies.

Should you have a concern regarding this statement, require specifics about a particular cookie or wish to assert a data-protection entitlement, kindly contact our customer service team via the contact page. Associated materials are displayed at the bottom of each page, comprising our Data Protection Statement.
