2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device used to access a website.
Among other functions, they enable the website to operate properly, save certain preferences, recognise a device on subsequent visits, analyse how the website is used or, subject to consent, support measurement, advertising or personalisation activities.
For the purposes of this Policy, the term ‘cookies’ may also include similar technologies that enable information to be stored on or accessed from the user’s device, including, where applicable, local browser storage, pixels, tags, identifiers and equivalent technologies.
3. First-party cookies and third-party cookies
Cookies can be categorised, depending on the entity that sets them, as follows:
First-party cookies
These are cookies set directly by the Lagos Moments domain and managed by the website or by services used directly within its infrastructure.
Third-party cookies
These are cookies or technologies set by external services used on the website, such as analytics, security, mapping, embedded content, communication, advertising or other features provided by external suppliers.
The use of third-party services may mean that these providers process certain data in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies.
4. Session cookies and persistent cookies
Depending on how long they remain stored, cookies can be:
Session cookies
They are temporary and are usually deleted when the user closes their browser.
Persistent cookies
They remain stored on the device for a pre-defined period or until they are deleted by the user.
The duration of each cookie should be limited to the period necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was set.
5. What types of cookies might we use?
5.1. Strictly necessary cookies
They are essential for the website to function or for the provision of features expressly requested by the user.
They can be used, for example, for:
* to ensure security and technical stability;
* to enable navigation between pages;
* to store preferences relating to cookie consent;
* to ensure the correct functioning of forms or requested features;
* to establish or maintain certain sessions;
* to carry out technical functions essential to the booking process.
These cookies do not require consent when they are strictly necessary for the operation of the service requested by the user.
Disabling them via your browser may prevent certain areas or features of the website from working properly.
5.2. Preference and functionality cookies
They enable the system to remember choices made by the user, such as language, certain interface settings or other user preferences.
They enable the system to remember choices made by the user, such as language, certain interface settings or other user preferences.
5.3. Performance and analytics cookies
They enable us to understand how visitors interact with the website, in particular by collecting statistical information on:
* pages visited;
* source of visits;
* approximate duration of sessions;
* use of different sections of the website;
* clicks and interactions;
* technical errors;
* page performance;
* aggregated browsing patterns.
This information may be used to evaluate and improve the website’s performance, structure, content and user experience.
These cookies or technologies will only be enabled once the user’s consent has been obtained, where such consent is required by law.
5.4. Marketing and advertising cookies
They can be used to measure campaigns, limit the frequency of adverts, understand users’ interests or display more relevant adverts on third-party websites and platforms.
They may also enable external services to recognise the browser or device being used and to link certain interactions on the website to advertising campaigns.
These cookies are not essential to the functioning of the website and will only be used with the user’s prior consent.
5.5. External content and services
Some features of Lagos Moments may use external providers or platforms, in particular for the following services:
* online bookings;
* maps and location;
* security and spam prevention;
* communication via WhatsApp;
* tag analysis and management;
* embedded content or links to social media.
When interacting with certain external features, the user may be redirected to third-party platforms, or those platforms may use their own storage technologies.
Where the installation of these technologies via the website is subject to consent, they will be blocked until the user has made their choice.
6. Consent
On your first visit to the website, a consent management tool will appear, through which you will be able to:
* accept all optional cookies;
* reject all optional cookies;
* select individually the categories you wish to authorise;
* view further information on the purposes of each category.
Cookies that are not strictly necessary must not be installed or activated until the relevant consent has been obtained.
Refusing optional cookies should not prevent access to the website’s essential features.
Simply continuing to browse the website, scrolling down the page or taking no action whatsoever shall not, in themselves, be regarded as valid expressions of consent.
7. Changing or withdrawing consent
The user may amend or withdraw their previously given consent at any time.
Withdrawing consent should be just as simple as giving it.
To this end, the website should always provide an option such as:
“Manage cookies”, “Cookie preferences” or equivalent,
accessible via the website’s footer or a permanent feature of the consent management system.
The change in preferences will have an impact on the future use of the technologies in question, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out previously on the basis of valid consent.
8. Third-party services
The Lagos Moments website uses, or may use, services provided by third parties.
The technologies currently used to support the website’s features include, in particular:
The website may use Google technologies for features such as tag management, analytics, security, abuse prevention or other technical services.
The activation of Google technologies that are not strictly necessary will be subject to the relevant consent preferences.
Where forms are protected by Google reCAPTCHA, the service may process information intended to distinguish legitimate use from automated or abusive access.
Google Tag Manager
Google Tag Manager can be used to manage and implement certain website tags or scripts.
The tag management tool must not be used to circumvent the consent choices made by the user. Tags that require consent must remain inactive until such consent has been given.
YNNOV Booking Engine
Accommodation enquiries and bookings can be channelled through the external booking engine, YNNOV.
When proceeding to the booking engine, the user will be interacting with an external platform, to which its own privacy, cookie and data processing policies may apply.
WhatsApp / Joinchat
The website can provide quick access to WhatsApp via a button or contact widget.
By selecting this feature, the user may be redirected to services provided by WhatsApp/Meta, subject to their respective policies and terms and conditions.
Other external services
The website may also use or integrate other external platforms required for specific functions. Their use and classification must be included in the updated list of cookies and technologies set out in this Policy and in the consent management mechanism.
9. International data transfers
Some of the technology providers used by the website may process data outside the European Economic Area.
Where personal data is transferred to countries for which there is no adequacy decision by the European Commission, the safeguards provided for by law must be used, where applicable, in particular Standard Contractual Clauses or other mechanisms provided for in the General Data Protection Regulation.
Specific information on the mechanisms used by the various providers can be found in their respective privacy policies.
10. How to manage or delete cookies via your browser
In addition to the options provided on the website, you can manage or delete cookies via the settings in your browser.
Most browsers allow you to:
* view stored cookies;
* delete all or specific cookies;
* block third-party cookies;
* block all cookies;
* automatically delete cookies when the browser is closed;

Where personal data is processed using these technologies on the basis of consent, the requirements set out in the GDPR regarding the validity, proof and withdrawal of such consent also apply.
13. Recording preferences
The consent management system may keep a technical record of the choices made by the user, to the extent necessary to:
* to remember your preferences;

Data associated with the consent record will be retained only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and to comply with legal obligations.
Consent may be requested again where there are material changes to the purposes, technologies or suppliers used, where the user’s previous choice can no longer be verified, or where it is necessary to renew the user’s choice.
14. Third parties and liability
Lagos Moments is responsible for the technologies that it enables users to install or use via its website and must ensure that integrated providers are configured in a manner consistent with the user’s consent settings.
However, when a user leaves the Lagos Moments website and accesses an external platform directly, any subsequent processing carried out on that platform is subject to the policies and terms and conditions of the relevant third party.
We recommend that you check the privacy and cookie policies of external services before using them.
