1. Introduction
At Relatia – Relationship Capital Academy, we believe that trust, transparency and respect are essential to every meaningful relationship, including our relationship with learners and website visitors.
This Cookie and Browser Storage Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used when you visit our website, sign in to your account, participate in learning activities or access Academy services.
It also explains how you can manage browser storage and protect your information, particularly when using shared devices.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
2. What Are Cookies and Browser Storage?
Cookies are small pieces of information that websites and their service providers may store in your browser to support website functionality.
Browser storage technologies, including local storage and session storage, can also help websites maintain preferences, remember certain information and support application features.
At Relatia, these technologies may be used to support secure authentication, maintain learning sessions, enable navigation and assist with saving learning activities.
Some technologies are necessary for the Academy to function correctly, while others may require additional notice or consent before use.
3. Essential Cookies and Storage
Relatia uses authentication and browser or server-based session mechanisms to support the operation of its learning platform.
These functions may include:
- Maintaining secure account sign-in sessions.
- Supporting navigation between lessons and learning activities.
- Associating learning progress with the correct account.
- Maintaining appropriate access to enrolled courses and schools.
- Supporting account security and preventing unauthorised access.
- Preserving information necessary for the normal operation of the Academy.
Our authentication, hosting and other technology providers may also use cookies or similar technologies necessary to deliver their services.
Such providers may maintain their own privacy and cookie notices.
Relatia will maintain an inventory of relevant cookies and browser storage technologies, including their purposes, providers and retention periods, as these details are verified.
4. Learning Progress and Browser Storage
Relatia stores current learning progress, submitted assignments, assessment results and related learning records against authenticated learner accounts.
Some earlier versions of Academy courses may also have saved learning progress, draft responses or notes directly in browser local storage.
This means certain information may remain on a device even after a learner signs out.
Learners should therefore take appropriate precautions when using shared or public computers.
We recommend that learners:
- Sign out after completing their learning sessions.
- Avoid entering unnecessary confidential information into locally saved notes.
- Confirm that important learning activities have been saved to their account before clearing browser data.
- Clear relevant site data when using shared devices, where appropriate.
Important: Clearing browser storage may permanently remove older learning drafts or progress that have not been saved to the learner's account.
5. Analytics and Advertising Technologies
This policy does not introduce new advertising cookies, behavioural tracking or optional analytics scripts.
Relatia will not intentionally introduce non-essential tracking technologies without first assessing applicable privacy and consent requirements.
Where optional analytics, advertising or similar technologies are introduced, Relatia will:
- Explain their purposes and the information collected.
- Identify relevant third-party providers.
- Establish an appropriate lawful basis.
- Obtain consent where legally required.
- Provide appropriate choices for managing non-essential technologies.
- Update this policy to reflect the changes.
Relatia will not claim that a cookie consent banner or preference management system is operational unless it has been implemented and verified.
6. Third-Party Services
Relatia may rely on external technology providers for authentication, website hosting, payment processing and other essential platform services.
These providers may use cookies or similar technologies when learners interact with their services.
For example, learners who proceed to external payment pages may be subject to the payment provider's own privacy and cookie policies.
Relatia encourages users to review the relevant notices of third-party providers when using their services.
We will periodically review our third-party technology arrangements to support transparency and compliance with applicable data protection requirements.
7. How to Manage Cookies and Browser Storage
Most web browsers allow users to control cookies and stored website information through their privacy or security settings.
Depending on the browser, users may be able to:
- View and delete stored cookies.
- Clear local storage and other website data.
- Block certain cookies.
- Restrict third-party cookies.
- Manage website permissions.
Please note that blocking or deleting essential cookies and browser storage may affect your ability to sign in, navigate lessons or use certain Academy features.
Clearing locally stored information may also remove learning work that has not been synchronised with your account.
8. Data Protection and Security
Relatia is committed to handling personal information responsibly and in accordance with applicable Nigerian data protection laws, including the Nigeria Data Protection Act, 2023.
Information collected through cookies or browser storage will be handled according to its purpose, sensitivity and applicable legal requirements.
We encourage learners to use trusted devices, protect their sign-in credentials and avoid leaving their accounts accessible on shared computers.
For more information about the collection, use, sharing and protection of personal information, please review our Privacy Policy.
9. Updates to This Policy
Relatia may update this Cookie and Browser Storage Policy to reflect changes in technology, website functionality, legal requirements or the use of third-party services.
Approved updates will be published with a revised effective date.
Where material changes involve optional tracking technologies, Relatia will provide appropriate notice and obtain consent where legally required.
