Cookie Policy
What this website stores on your device, why, and how you can control it.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device. Similar technologies, such as your browser’s session storage, work in much the same way. Some are essential for a website to work; others, such as analytics, are optional and should only be used with your consent.
What this website uses
This website does not set any cookies of its own for advertising, and it sets no analytics cookies unless you accept them. It uses your browser’s storage for three small, essential items, which contain no personal data. The first two are deleted when you close the browser tab:
- likko-intro-seen: remembers that you have already seen the opening animation on the home page, so it plays a shorter version during the same visit.
- likko-motion: remembers whether animations should be reduced, if you choose that option.
- likko-consent: remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics cookies, and when, so the cookie banner does not ask you again on every page. It is kept for 12 months, after which we ask again.
Members of our staff who sign in to the private staff area also receive one cookie,likko_staff, which keeps them signed in. It is used only on that area, holds a random identifier and no personal data. It stops working when they sign out or after 30 minutes without activity, and is deleted when the browser is closed.
Because these are strictly necessary for the website to work as you expect, they do not require consent.
Optional cookies
We use Google Analytics 4, provided by Google, to understand how visitors use the website (for example, which pages are visited and whether people use the booking, telephone and WhatsApp links), so that we can improve it. Google Analytics is loaded only if you click “Accept” in the cookie banner. If you decline, or make no choice, it is not loaded and none of its cookies are set.
If you accept, Google Analytics sets these cookies:
- _ga: distinguishes one visitor from another, using a random identifier. Kept for up to 2 years.
- _ga_<ID>: keeps track of the current visit. Kept for up to 2 years.
We have switched off Google’s advertising features: the information is not used for advertising or to build a profile of you, and it is not linked to your Google account. We do not send your name, email address, telephone number or the content of any message to Google Analytics. Google may process this information outside Nigeria.
Other services
Some features rely on services provided by others, which may set their own cookies when you use them. For example, the online booking calendar and any video-consultation link are provided by third parties, and links to WhatsApp or Google Maps take you to those services, which have their own privacy and cookie policies. The map on our office page is shown only when you click “Show the interactive map”; Google Maps may then set its own cookies.
Your choices
You can accept or decline optional cookies in the cookie banner, and change your mind later using the “Cookie settings” link in the footer. If you withdraw your consent, Google Analytics stops and its cookies are removed from this website. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings; if you block essential storage, parts of the website may not work as intended.
