Effective Date: November 21, 2025 | Last Updated: September 11, 2026
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Esson Software Solutions Limited ("Company", "we", "us", "our") uses cookies, local browser storage, and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website (https://www.essl.com.ng) and associated digital portals.
We are committed to operating in full compliance with the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA) 2023 and guidelines issued by the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC). This policy provides you with clear and unambiguous information regarding what tracking technologies we deploy, why we use them, and how you can exercise full control over your preferences.
2. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by online service providers to ensure secure platform operation, enable basic navigation, analyze usage patterns, and remember user settings.
Local Storage (such as HTML5 LocalStorage) allows websites to store key-value data in your browser with no expiration date or until explicitly cleared. Unlike traditional cookies, local storage items are not automatically transmitted to the web server with every HTTP request, providing a faster and privacy-conscious mechanism for storing non-sensitive user preferences (e.g., interface visual theme).
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
A. Strictly Necessary (Essential)
Essential for the technical operation and security of our website. They facilitate page navigation, secure HTTPS communication, CSRF defense, and consent management. Under Section 25 of the NDPA 2023, these are processed based on legitimate technical necessity and do not require prior opt-in consent.
B. Preferences & Functionality
Enables enhanced user functionality and personalization, such as remembering whether you prefer the light or dark color scheme across browsing sessions.
C. Performance & Analytics (Optional)
Collects aggregated, non-personally identifiable diagnostic information regarding how visitors interact with our pages (e.g., page response times, error rates, and popular service paths). We only activate these cookies upon your explicit affirmative consent.
D. Marketing & Targeting (Optional)
Measures the performance of external enterprise announcements and delivers relevant business updates. These require express opt-in consent and will never be enabled without your authorization.
