1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how VOGUE 97.7 FM uses cookies and similar technologies on https://vogue97fm.com.
Cookies help websites remember certain information about a visitor’s device or browsing activity. They can support essential website functions, improve user experience, maintain security and, where enabled, help website owners understand audience behaviour.
This Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website.
They may help a website remember your preferences, maintain a session, recognise a returning browser or measure how visitors use the site.
Similar technologies include pixels, tags, scripts, local storage and other tools that store or access information on your device.
Cookies may be set directly by our website or by third-party services integrated into it.
3. Why We May Use Cookies
Depending on the features enabled on our website, cookies and similar technologies may be used to:
- Make the website function properly.
- Support security and help prevent abuse.
- Remember your preferences and settings.
- Understand which pages and content attract audience interest.
- Measure website performance and diagnose technical problems.
- Support embedded audio, video and other third-party content.
- Measure advertising performance or support advertising services, where applicable.
We aim to use these technologies for legitimate and clearly explained purposes.
4. Types of Cookies
4.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies support essential website functions, such as security, network management, session handling or features you have specifically requested.
Without them, certain parts of the website may not work correctly.
Where a cookie is strictly necessary and legally exempt from consent requirements, it may operate without optional cookie consent. This does not remove any other applicable privacy obligations.
4.2 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies help remember choices and preferences, such as certain display settings or previously selected options.
They may improve convenience but are not always essential to the basic operation of the website.
Where required by law, we will request your consent before using these cookies.
4.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies
If analytics tools are installed, these cookies may help us understand how visitors use the website.
They may collect information such as pages viewed, visit duration, referral sources, browser details and interactions with website features.
We use such information, where available, to identify popular content, improve navigation and understand how our digital services perform.
Where required by law, analytics cookies will only be used after you provide the appropriate consent.
4.4 Advertising and Marketing Cookies
If advertising or marketing technologies are used on our website, they may help measure advertising campaigns, understand interactions with adverts or deliver advertising based on browsing activity.
These technologies may be operated by third-party advertising providers.
We will seek consent where required by law before enabling non-essential advertising or tracking cookies.
4.5 Third-Party Cookies and Embedded Content
Our website may include a live radio player, videos, social media content, maps or other services supplied by third parties.
When you interact with these services, the provider may set cookies or use similar technologies to process information about your device and interaction.
For example, an embedded audio player may connect to an external streaming provider when you click the play button. That provider may process technical information under its own privacy policy.
We do not control all cookies or tracking technologies used by external providers. Their use depends on the services integrated into our website and their current configurations.
5. Which Cookies Do We Use?
The specific cookies on our website may change when we update our website, plugins, security settings or third-party integrations.
We will maintain an accurate cookie inventory based on the technologies actually active on the website.
This inventory should identify, where applicable:
- Cookie or technology name.
- Provider or domain.
- Purpose.
- Category.
- Duration or expiry.
- Whether the technology is first-party or third-party.
We do not list individual cookie names in this Policy because their presence and duration must be verified against the website’s current configuration. Please use the website’s cookie settings or consent notice, where available, for information about the cookies detected and your available choices.
6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When required by applicable law, we will provide a mechanism for you to accept or reject non-essential cookies and manage your preferences.
Depending on the available settings, you may be able to:
- Accept all optional cookies.
- Reject non-essential cookies.
- Select specific cookie categories.
- Change your preferences after your first visit.
Strictly necessary cookies may remain active where they are required to provide the website functions you request.
You can also manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block cookies, remove stored cookies or receive a notification when a website attempts to store them.
Please note that blocking certain cookies may affect website functionality or prevent some preferences from being remembered.
Changing browser settings does not necessarily remove information already held by a third-party provider.
7. Third-Party Privacy Policies
External services may operate under their own cookie and privacy policies.
Where applicable, we encourage you to review the privacy information provided by our streaming provider, analytics services, social media platforms and other embedded services.
Your interaction with a third-party player or service may be subject to that provider’s own data collection practices.
8. How Long Do Cookies Last?
Cookie duration depends on the purpose and the provider.
- Session cookies are generally removed when you close your browser or when the session ends.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or are deleted.
- Third-party cookies follow the duration and settings established by their respective providers.
The exact duration of each cookie should be confirmed through the website’s cookie inventory.
9. International Data Processing
Some third-party services integrated into our website may process technical information outside Nigeria.
Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will take the measures required by applicable data protection law.
Please consult the relevant third-party policies for further details about their processing arrangements.
10. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when our website features, third-party services or legal obligations change.
The latest version will be published on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date.
