If you are accessing the Site from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with similar laws, we rely on the following legal bases:
- Consent — for newsletter subscriptions and non-essential cookies.

- Legal obligation — where we must process information to comply with applicable law.
You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting us or using the unsubscribe link.
5. Cookies and tracking
The Site uses cookies and similar technologies. Some are strictly necessary; others are analytical or used by embedded third-party services such as social media share buttons. For details, see our Cookie Policy.
When you first visit the Site, you will be asked to consent to non-essential cookies via our cookie consent banner. You can change your preferences at any time.
6. Third-party services
We use the following categories of third-party service providers, each of which has its own privacy policy:
- Google Analytics and Google Search Console — traffic analytics.
- Email service provider (e.g., Mailchimp, MailerLite, ConvertKit) — newsletter delivery.
- Hosting provider — Site infrastructure.
- Affiliate networks and bookmakers — when you click an affiliate link, you leave the Site and are subject to that operator’s privacy policy. See our Affiliate Disclosure.
- Social media platforms — embedded share buttons may set their own cookies.
We do not control the data practices of these third parties. Please review their policies separately.
7. International data transfers
Because some of our service providers are located outside Nigeria, your information may be transferred to and processed in other countries. Where required by law, we use safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or ensure transfers are made to jurisdictions with adequate protection.
