Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how VitaLink uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It supports our commitment to transparency, healthcare privacy expectations, GDPR principles, and Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR) principles.

2. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, such as local storage, may also remember preferences, support security, and help us understand how the website performs.

3. Why We Use Cookies

VitaLink uses cookies to keep the website secure, improve usability, remember your choices, and understand how visitors interact with our content.

• Protect the website and support essential functionality
• Remember cookie preferences and user interface choices
• Measure traffic and improve content performance
• Support relevant communications where consent has been given

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We group cookies into four categories: essential, analytics, functional, and marketing. Essential cookies are always enabled. Optional categories remain disabled until you consent.

5. Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are required for core website functionality, including page navigation, security, consent storage, and reliable access to VitaLink pages. These cookies cannot be disabled through our preference center because the website depends on them to function properly.

6. Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand aggregate website traffic, page performance, and content usefulness. VitaLink only enables analytics after you consent, and we use these insights to improve the website experience.

7. Functional Cookies

Functional cookies remember choices that improve convenience, such as interface preferences or form-related settings. These cookies are optional and remain off unless you enable them.

8. Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies may help measure campaign performance or support relevant communications. VitaLink does not enable marketing cookies unless you opt in.

9. Managing Cookie Preferences

You can accept all cookies, reject all non-essential cookies, or customize optional categories. Your choices are stored in your browser using local storage and a consent cookie.

To change your choices later, use the Cookie Preferences link in the website footer. Changes apply immediately in your current browser.

10. Third-Party Services

VitaLink may use trusted third-party services for analytics, embedded forms, hosting, security, and website performance. Where these services involve optional cookies or similar technologies, they are governed by your consent choices and applicable privacy terms.

11. Data Retention

Cookie consent preferences are stored for up to 180 days unless you clear your browser data or update your preferences sooner. Optional analytics, functional, and marketing data are retained according to their purpose, legal requirements, and our privacy commitments.

12. Changes To This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our website, services, or legal obligations evolve. When we make material changes, we will update the date above and may ask you to review your preferences again.
