Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies — small text files placed on your device — and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience and collect usage data.

Essential Cookies: Necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core features such as security, accessibility, and network management. You cannot opt out of these cookies.

Analytics Cookies: We use services such as Google Analytics to collect anonymised data about how visitors interact with our website. This helps us understand which pages are most popular and where we can improve.

Advertising Cookies: Third-party advertising networks may place cookies on your device to serve advertisements relevant to your interests. These cookies collect information about your browsing habits across different websites.

Preference Cookies: These remember your settings and preferences, such as your preferred theme (light or dark mode), so you don't have to re-enter them each time you visit.

You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. However, if you disable cookies, some features of our website may not function properly.

Third-Party Advertising

We may display advertisements served by third-party advertising networks, including but not limited to Google AdSense. These networks may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance's opt-out page or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information in the following limited circumstances: with trusted service providers who assist us in operating our website (such as hosting providers and email services), provided they agree to keep your information confidential; when required by law, regulation, subpoena, court order, or other legal process; to protect the rights, property, or safety of JustAbuja, our users, or the public; and in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets.

Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. When personal information is no longer needed, we will securely delete or anonymise it. Contact form submissions are typically retained for up to 12 months. Analytics data is retained in aggregated, anonymised form.

Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include SSL/TLS encryption for data in transit, secure server infrastructure, and access controls. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
