Cookie Policy | Morganable

Effective date: June 1st, 2025
Last updated: April 2nd, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Morganable Newspaper, a digital-first newspaper owned by Morganable Media Group, uses cookies and similar technologies on morganable.com and any related digital services.

This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal data more broadly.

1. Who We Are

Morganable.com is operated by Morganable Newspaper, owned by Morganable Media Group.

If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy or how cookies and similar technologies are used on our site, please contact:

Email: info@morganable.com

2. What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They can help a website function, remember preferences, understand how people use the site, and support content delivery, analytics, or advertising.

The legal rules in Nigeria and the UK also apply to other technologies that store information on, or access information from, a user’s device. These may include:

• tracking pixels
• scripts and tags
• local storage
• SDKs
• device fingerprinting techniques
• link decoration and navigational tracking

The ICO states that PECR applies to any technology that stores or accesses information on a user’s terminal equipment, not just traditional cookies.

3. How We Use Cookies and Similar Technologies

Morganable may use cookies and similar technologies to:

• make the website function properly
• keep the site secure
• remember user settings and preferences
• measure traffic and understand how readers use the site
• improve performance and user experience
• support subscriptions, accounts, and sign-in functions
• manage comment systems and community features
• deliver advertising or measure advertising performance
• support newsletter sign-up and user engagement tools

4. Categories of Cookies We May Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot usually be switched off in our systems. They may be used for:

• page navigation
• security and fraud prevention
• load balancing
• sign-in and account authentication
• shopping basket or checkout functions
• subscription access control
• saving your cookie consent choices

Under ICO guidance, some storage and access technologies can be used without consent where they are strictly necessary for providing the service requested by the user.

Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how readers use Morganable, such as which pages are visited, how long users stay, and whether the site is performing well.

They may help us:

• count visits and traffic sources
• understand content engagement
• improve site speed and usability
• identify errors or performance issues

Where these cookies are not strictly necessary, we will seek consent before using them. The ICO’s guidance requires consent for non-essential cookies and similar technologies.

Functional Cookies

These cookies help us remember choices you make, such as:

• preferred language or region
• saved settings
• login/session preferences
• accessibility or interface customisation

Some functional cookies may be strictly necessary, but others may require consent depending on what they do and whether they are genuinely essential to the service requested. That distinction follows the ICO’s PECR guidance on exceptions.

Advertising and Marketing Cookies

These cookies and similar technologies may be used to:

• display advertising
• limit how often the same advert is shown
• measure campaign performance
• support branded or commercial content operations
• personalise advertising
• understand advertising engagement

The ICO states that online advertising purposes are not exempt from PECR consent requirements, including ad measurement, ad performance, affiliation, market research, and related advertising purposes.

Social Media and Third-Party Cookies

Some pages or features may use content or tools provided by third parties, such as:

• embedded videos
• social sharing tools
• social media feeds
• newsletter platforms
• comment tools
• payment tools
• analytics services

These providers may set their own cookies or similar technologies. Where applicable, those third parties act under their own privacy and cookie terms.

5. Consent

Where cookies or similar technologies are not strictly necessary, Morganable aims to obtain your consent before setting them on your device.

The ICO says:

• consent must be given by a clear positive action
• users must have a real choice
• it must be as easy to reject non-essential cookies as to accept them
• continuing to browse a website is not valid consent
• organisations must respect the choices users make about non-essential cookies.

If you consent to non-essential cookies, you can usually withdraw or change that choice later using our cookie settings tools or browser settings, subject to the limits of those methods.

6. Managing Cookies

You can manage cookies in several ways:

On Morganable

Where available, you can use our cookie banner or cookie settings tool to:

• accept all cookies
• reject non-essential cookies
• manage cookie categories individually

In Your Browser

Most web browsers allow you to:

• view stored cookies
• block cookies
• delete cookies
• set preferences for certain websites

Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect the operation of parts of the website, including subscriptions, sign-in features, and saved preferences.

7. Third-Party Services

Morganable may use third-party providers for services such as:

• analytics
• advertising
• newsletter delivery
• video embedding
• account tools
• payment processing
• comment moderation or anti-spam protection

These services may use cookies or similar technologies either on our behalf or under their own terms. We recommend that users also review the privacy and cookie information provided by relevant third parties.

8. Cookies Used on Morganable

The exact cookies and similar technologies used on morganable.com may change over time as the website develops, especially where we introduce:

• subscriptions
• paywall or member features
• advertising systems
• newsletter tools
• comment systems
• analytics platforms
• embedded media
• anti-fraud or security tools

For that reason, Morganable should maintain an up-to-date cookie inventory showing, where possible:

• the cookie name
• provider
• purpose
• duration
• category
• whether it is first-party or third-party

The ICO’s transparency guidance stresses that users should receive clear and comprehensive information about what these technologies do and why they are used.
