Cookie Notice

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device — computer, tablet, or mobile phone — when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information about how the site is used.

Cookies are not programs. They cannot run code, carry viruses, or access your device beyond the information they are designed to store. They are simply data files that your browser stores and makes available to the website that placed them.

In addition to cookies, websites may use similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, and web beacons. This Notice covers all such technologies collectively under the term “cookies” unless the context requires otherwise.

SAC uses cookies on sac.ng for three distinct purposes: to make the website function correctly, to understand how it is used, and to remember visitor preferences between visits. We use only the cookies necessary for these purposes.

SAC does not use cookies to:

• Build profiles for advertising or remarketing purposes
• Track visitors across third-party websites
• Share behavioural data with social media platforms or advertising networks
• Enable third-party advertising on sac.ng

Where cookies require consent under the NDPA 2023 — that is, where they are not strictly necessary for the website to function — SAC obtains consent through the cookie banner that appears on your first visit to sac.ng. You may change your consent choices at any time using the “Manage Preferences” option in the sidebar or cookie banner.

sac.ng uses the following categories of cookies. Each category is described below, together with its purpose, lawful basis, and typical retention period.

sac.ng uses a limited number of third-party services that may set cookies or collect data about your visit. These are listed below together with their purpose and applicable privacy documentation. SAC has selected these services on the basis of their data minimisation practices and their ability to comply with NDPA and internationally recognised data protection standards.

Where these services process personal data outside Nigeria, SAC takes the steps described in Section 13 of the SAC Privacy Notice to ensure appropriate transfer safeguards are in place.

SAC does not embed social media plugins, share buttons, or third-party advertising widgets on sac.ng. No third-party advertising or social media platform sets cookies through sac.ng.

You have several options for managing the cookies placed on your device by sac.ng. Your choices are set out below.

SAC reviews this Cookie Notice periodically and updates it where necessary — in particular when we add, remove, or change the cookies or third-party tools used on sac.ng, or when there are material changes to applicable law or NDPC guidance on cookies and tracking technologies.

When material changes are made, we update the “Last reviewed” date at the top of this page. Where changes affect cookies that require consent, we will reset consent preferences and request fresh consent from returning visitors through the cookie banner.

The current version of this Notice is available at sac.ng/cookie-notice. This Cookie Notice should be read alongside the SAC Privacy Notice, which governs the full scope of personal data processing by SAC.

If you have questions about this Cookie Notice or about how SAC uses cookies on sac.ng, please contact us using the details below. We aim to respond to all privacy and cookie-related enquiries within three business days.
