Cookies Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookies Notice explains what Cookies are and how We use them. You should read this Notice so You can understand what type of cookies We use, or the information We collect using Cookies and how that information is used. Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that we store about You may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from Cookies.

For further information on how We use, store and keep your personal data secure, see our Privacy Notice.

We do not store sensitive personal information, such as mailing addresses, account passwords, etc. in the Cookies We use.

2. Interpretation and Definitions

Cookies are small text files that may be sent to and registered on your computer by the websites you visit, to then be re-sent to those same sites when you visit them again. It is thanks to these cookies that those websites can “remember” your actions and preferences (e.g., login data, language, font size, other display settings, etc.), so that you do not need to configure them again when you next visit the website, or when you change pages within a website.

Cookies are used for electronic authentication, monitoring of sessions and storage of information regarding your activities when accessing a website. They may also contain a unique ID code which allows tracking of your browsing activities within a website, for statistical or advertising purposes. Some operations within a website may not be able to be performed without the use of cookies which, in certain cases, are technically necessary for operation of the website.

When browsing a website, you may also receive cookies from websites or web servers other than the website being visited (i.e., “third-party cookies”).

There are various types of cookies, depending on their characteristics and functions, which may be stored on your computer for different periods of time: “session cookies”, which are automatically deleted when you close your browser, and “persistent cookies”, which will remain on your device until their pre-set expiration period passes.

According to the law which may be applicable to you, your consent may not always be necessary for cookies to be used on a website. In particular, “technical cookies” – i.e. cookies which are only used to send messages through an electronic communications network, or which are needed to provide services you request – typically do not require this consent. This includes browsing or session cookies (used to allow users to login) and function cookies (used to remember choices made by a user when accessing the website, such as language or products selected for purchase).

On the other hand, “profiling cookies” – i.e., cookies used to create profiles on users and to send advertising messages in line with the preferences revealed by users while browsing websites – typically require specific consent from users, although this may vary according to the applicable law.

For the purposes of this Cookies Notice: “Company” (referred to as either “the Company”, “We”, “Us” or “Our” in this Cookies Policy) refers to CWG PLC, Castle Building (DCC). Block 54A, Plot 10, Adebayo Doherty Road, Off Admiralty Way. Lekki Phase 1, Lagos Nigeria. “Cookies” means small files that are placed on Your computer, mobile device or any other device by a website, containing details of your browsing history on that website among its many uses. “Website” refers to CWG PLC, accessible from https://cwg-plc.org/ “You” means the individual accessing or using the Website, or a company, or any legal entity on behalf of which such individual is accessing or using the Website, as applicable.
