- Cookies are small files your browser stores. Similar tools (local storage, pixels, scripts) are treated the same way.
- We use strictly necessary cookies to keep you signed in, keep the service secure and remember your cookie choice. These do not need your consent, but we tell you about them here.
- We do not currently use any optional cookies (preferences, analytics or marketing). Website statistics come from Plausible Analytics, which is cookieless. Because we set only strictly necessary cookies, we do not show a cookie consent banner. If we ever add optional cookies, they will stay off until you switch them on.
- Students never get optional cookies, whatever any setting says.
- "Cookie settings" in the website footer shows exactly what is set. Questions: privacy@eduledga.com or hello@eduledga.com.
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 This Cookie Policy is issued by EDULEDGA INNOVATIONS LIMITED (RC 9591803), BDPA, Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria ("EduLedga", "we", "us"). It explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on our website at eduledga.io (the "Website"), our public demo at eduledga.io/demo (the "Demo") and the EduLedga web application (the "Platform").
1.2 This Policy is made in line with Articles 7(l) and 19 of the NDPC General Application and Implementation Directive 2025 ("GAID") and the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 ("NDPA"). It forms part of our Privacy Policy.
2. WHAT COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES ARE
2.1 A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a website. Cookies can be "first-party" (set by us) or "third-party" (set by another company), and "session" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" (kept for a set period).
2.2 Similar technologies include browser local storage and session storage, pixels or web beacons, software development kits and scripts that read or write information on your device. Under Article 19(8) GAID, these are subject to the same rules as cookies, and in this Policy the word "cookies" includes them.
3. OUR COOKIE CATEGORIES
3.1 We group cookies into four categories. Only the first is in use today:
| Category | What it does | Consent needed? | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Signing you in and keeping your session; security (for example cross-site request forgery protection); load balancing; remembering your cookie choices. They do not process sensitive or financial data. | No (exempt under Article 19(5) and (6) GAID), but disclosed here | Always on |
| Preferences | Remembering settings such as display preferences. Not used at present. | Yes | Off |
| Analytics cookies | Not used. We measure Website traffic with cookieless Plausible Analytics instead (see section 3.2). | Would be required | Not set |
| Marketing | Measuring advertising campaigns. Not used at present. If we ever introduce marketing cookies we will update this Policy and ask for consent first. | Yes | Off. Never set on the Platform or on student sessions |
3.2 Cookieless website statistics. On the marketing Website only (not the Platform, not the Demo after sign-in, and never on student sessions), we use Plausible Analytics, hosted in the European Union. Plausible does not set cookies or store anything on your device, does not track you across websites and gives us only aggregate statistics (such as page views, referring sites, country and device type). We also use Google Search Console, which gives us aggregate data about how our Website appears in Google search results and places no code on your device. Our lawful basis is legitimate interests in understanding and improving the Website (section 25(1)(b)(v) NDPA). Plausible processes this data for EduLedga only; it is not a sub-processor for School Data.
4. COOKIE TABLE
4.1 The table below lists the cookies we use. It will be regenerated from an automated scan before launch and after any material change.
| Name | Provider | Category | Purpose | Duration | First/third party |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Session cookie | EduLedga | Strictly necessary | Keeps a signed-in user's session on the Platform | Session, or until sign-out / session expiry | First |
| CSRF protection cookie | EduLedga | Strictly necessary | Protects forms against cross-site request forgery | Session | First |
| Demo session cookie | EduLedga | Strictly necessary | Keeps a Demo visitor's access to the sample schools after consent; demo data resets at midnight WAT | Until midnight WAT reset or session end | First |
| (Paystack cookies) | Paystack | Set by Paystack on its own checkout pages | Payment security and fraud prevention under Paystack's cookie policy | Per Paystack policy | Third (Paystack's domain) |
4.2 Paystack checkout. When you pay school fees or a subscription, you interact with Paystack's checkout. Paystack may set its own cookies under its own policy. We do not control those cookies.
5. HOW WE ASK FOR CONSENT
5.1 On the Website. Because we currently set only strictly necessary cookies and use cookieless analytics, no consent banner is needed and none is shown. The Cookie settings link in the Website footer opens this Policy's cookie table so you can see exactly what is set. If we introduce any optional cookie, we will first show a cookie notice that is conspicuous and visible without scrolling, identifies EduLedga and the purpose of each cookie, offers clear Accept and Reject choices of equal prominence and explains how to withdraw (Articles 7(l) and 19(4), (6) and (7) GAID). No optional cookie would be set before you choose.
5.2 In the Platform. The Platform sets no preference, analytics or marketing cookies for any role. If optional cookies are ever introduced, they will be off by default and offered through an in-app choice and in Settings → Privacy & consent; you will also be able to record or change your choice by emailing privacy@eduledga.com or hello@eduledga.com.
5.3 Students. Optional cookies are never offered to, or set for, students under 18. Adult students (18 and over) are offered the same optional choices as other adults, still off by default. Marketing cookies are never used on student sessions.
5.4 Records. If consent to optional cookies is ever requested, we will keep a record of each choice, the Policy version and the date and time, so we can show that consent was given (section 26(1) NDPA; Article 17(6) GAID).
6. CHANGING OR WITHDRAWING YOUR CHOICE
6.1 If optional cookies are introduced, you will be able to change your choice at any time through Cookie settings in the Website footer, by emailing privacy@eduledga.com or hello@eduledga.com, or in Settings → Privacy & consent in the Platform. Withdrawing consent will be as easy as giving it (section 35(2) NDPA).
6.2 Any consent to optional cookies would be requested again after twelve (12) months, or sooner if this Policy changes materially.
6.3 You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block strictly necessary cookies, the Website and Platform may not work properly (for example, you may not be able to stay signed in).
7. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
7.1 We will update this Policy, its version number and its effective date whenever we add, remove or change cookies. Material changes will trigger a new consent request.
