This website uses Google Analytics to understand visits and improve its content and performance. It does not use the analytics data to sell personal information or operate third-party advertising campaigns.
1. Overview
This cookie policy explains how cookies and similar browser technologies may be used on Bernard Bassey's portfolio and service website. It should be read together with the privacy policy, which explains how personal information is handled more generally.
The website provides information about website development, mobile app development, software services, training, portfolio work and ways to make contact.
3. How this website currently uses cookies
The website uses essential technologies for secure delivery and Google Analytics for aggregated website measurement. Google Analytics may use cookies or similar identifiers to distinguish visits and understand how people reach and use public pages.
Analytics information may include pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser information, referring source and interaction timing. It is used to identify useful content, technical problems and general patterns rather than to make automated decisions about an individual visitor.
This website does not currently describe a behavioural advertising platform as following visitors across unrelated websites.
4. Essential website technologies
Strictly necessary technologies may be used where they are required to deliver the website safely and reliably. Depending on the hosting and security configuration, they may support:
- Secure page delivery and traffic routing.
- Protection against spam, abuse and malicious requests.
- Basic server operation and load management.
- Remembering a privacy or accessibility choice where such a control is added.
- Maintaining a temporary session for a feature that cannot work without it.
Essential technologies should be limited to what is reasonably necessary. They are not intended to create an advertising profile.
5. Analytics, personalisation and marketing
Google Analytics is active across public pages under measurement ID G-G46RC5R0TF. Google receives analytics and technical information to provide website-usage reports. Google may process this information on infrastructure outside Nigeria under its own privacy and data-processing terms.
The analytics configuration is intended for audience and performance measurement, not personalised advertising. No Meta Pixel or comparable advertising tracker is currently declared on this website.
You can restrict or delete analytics cookies using browser controls. Google also provides a browser add-on for opting out of Google Analytics where that tool is available and compatible.
6. Third-party websites and services
Portfolio cards and contact options may link to external services such as client websites, Google Play and WhatsApp. Following one of these links takes you to a service controlled by another organisation. That service may set its own cookies under its own terms and privacy policy.
External links on this website do not place the third party's cookie policy under Bernard's control. Review the settings and privacy information offered by the external provider before continuing.
Images used on the website are intended to be served locally where practical. Some application screenshots may be delivered from an approved external image host, which can receive ordinary technical request information when the image loads.
7. Managing cookies in your browser
Most browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies. The exact controls depend on your browser and device. They are usually available under privacy, security, site data or cookie settings.
You can generally choose to:
- Delete cookies already stored on your device.
- Block all cookies or only third-party cookies.
- Allow cookies for selected websites.
- Clear site data when the browser closes.
- Use private browsing for a separate temporary session.
Browser settings apply beyond this website, so review the effect before making a broad change.
8. What happens if cookies are blocked
The public pages of this website should remain readable when optional cookies are blocked. Blocking essential storage or security features may affect a future interactive function, preference or protected form.
If a feature cannot operate because a necessary technology has been blocked, the website should explain the issue rather than quietly enabling non-essential tracking.
9. Cookies and personal information
Some cookie identifiers and technical records can be personal information when they identify or distinguish a device or user. Any such information should be handled for a clear purpose, limited to what is needed and retained only for an appropriate period.
More information about contact details, server records, service providers, international processing, retention, security and privacy rights is available in the privacy policy.
10. Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated if the website adds analytics, account features, embedded media, advertising, personalisation or another technology that changes how browser information is stored or accessed.
The latest revision date appears at the top of the page. Where a change requires consent, the relevant technology should remain inactive until the required choice has been provided.
