Cookie Policy
This page explains what cookies are, which cookies petronigeriainsight.com uses, why we use them, and how you can control your preferences. We want to be straightforward about this — no technical jargon, no vague explanations.
What a Cookie Actually Is
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device when you visit. It gets sent back to the website on your next visit so the site can remember certain things about you or your preferences. Cookies don't execute code and they don't carry viruses. They're just data files.
Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser (session cookies). Others stay on your device for a set period (persistent cookies). Both types are used on this website.
Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to work. They don't collect personal data for marketing purposes and cannot be switched off. They include:
pni_consent — Stores your cookie consent preferences so we don't ask you again on every visit. This cookie persists for 180 days and contains only your consent choices, nothing else.
Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent under Nigerian law or standard international practice, as they are essential to the operation of the site you have chosen to visit.
Analytics Cookies
We may use analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with our website in aggregate. This helps us identify which content is useful, how people navigate the site, and where technical issues might exist. Analytics cookies do not identify you personally — they work with anonymized or pseudonymized data.
Analytics cookies are only set if you accept them through our cookie consent panel. If you decline, no analytics cookies will be placed.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as your preferred display settings or form state. They improve your experience but are not essential to core functionality. These are also only set with your consent.
What We Do Not Use Cookies For
We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles. We do not share cookie data with advertising networks. We do not use cookies to track you across other websites. Our cookie use is limited to operating and improving this website.
How to Manage Your Preferences
When you first visit our website, a cookie consent panel appears in the bottom-right corner of your screen. You can accept all cookies, decline non-essential cookies, or customize your preferences by category. Your choice is saved for 180 days.
You can change your mind at any time. Clear your browser cookies and the consent panel will appear again on your next visit, allowing you to make a fresh choice.
You can also manage cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies from any website. Refer to your browser's help documentation for specific instructions. Note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of some websites.
Third-Party Cookies
If we embed third-party content (such as maps), those third-party services may set their own cookies. We do not control those cookies. Google Maps, for example, may set cookies when the map embed on our contact page is loaded. Refer to Google's privacy policy for details on how they handle data from their embedded services.
Your Rights
Under the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 and the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation 2019, you have rights in relation to personal data processed through cookies, including the right to access, correct, or request deletion of that data. For any questions about cookie-related data, contact us at [email protected].
Updates to This Policy
If we change how we use cookies, we will update this page and revise the "Last Updated" date. Significant changes will also trigger the cookie consent panel to appear again so you can review and confirm your preferences.
