Cookie Policy for DigiLog
Effective Date: June 9, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how DigiLog ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our web-based administrative portal and landing page website. This policy is designed to maintain transparency regarding how we handle your data in compliance with the Nigerian Data Protection Regulation (NDPR).
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device by websites that you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide administrative and analytical information to the owners of the site.
On DigiLog, cookies are necessary to securely bridge user interactions across students, industry supervisors, and institutional administrators.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies to enhance your navigation experience, secure user sessions, and ensure that our critical system constraints function properly. Specifically, cookies help us:
- Verify your identity upon logging in via official email or Single Sign-On (SSO).
- Maintain active session tokens so you do not have to log in repeatedly while navigating your dashboard.
- Track functional constraints, such as active form sessions and counting durations.
- Analyze performance metrics, such as ensuring our web page loads consistently meet our 2-second target.
3. The Types of Cookies We Use
A. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the core operations of the DigiLog platform. Without these cookies, the system cannot provide basic services like secure user authentication or role-based access control.
- Authentication Cookies: Securely identify your account when you log in via Google, Microsoft, or credentials, preventing unauthorized access to sensitive academic or banking details.
- Session Cookies: Maintain your secure link to our backend servers while filling out multi-step forms or reviewing weekly logbooks.
B. Performance and Analytical Cookies
These cookies help us monitor how users interact with our web platform so we can maintain system health and scalability.
- Load Balancing Cookies: Help distribute network traffic evenly to ensure our administrative console can comfortably handle a peak load of at least 10,000 concurrent users.
- Error-Tracking Cookies: Log application performance errors instantly, helping our technical team maintain our 99.9% uptime commitment.
C. Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make to provide a more personalized, fluid user experience.
- UI Preference Cookies: Remember layout configurations and text-scaling selections to assist with our WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards.
- Draft-Retention Cookies: Temporarily hold typed text locally if your network drops, preventing data loss before your logbook synchronizes with the cloud database.
4. Third-Party Cookies
In some instances, trusted third-party services deploy cookies on our behalf to facilitate specific features integrated within the platform:
- Single Sign-On (SSO) Providers: Google and Microsoft place authentication cookies to facilitate quick, single-click sign-ons.
- Notification Gateways: Communication APIs may use basic technical tokens to manage delivery tracking for essential reminders sent to your browser.
5. Your Choices and Managing Cookies
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. You can configure your browser to block cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent.
⚠️ Important Security Note:
Because DigiLog relies heavily on secure authentication tokens and role-based access controls to protect sensitive data (such as student bank accounts and National Identification Numbers), disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging into the platform or using its core features.
To learn how to manage or delete cookies on your specific browser, please visit your browser's official documentation or help menu.
6. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our technology or legal obligations under national data privacy frameworks. When changes are made, we will update the "Effective Date" at the top of this policy and notify users via our primary system notification channels.
7. Contact Support
