Overview
When you visit Code & Clause Legal's website, we and certain trusted third-party partners, may collect and store information on your device using cookies and similar tracking technologies. These technologies help us ensure our website functions properly, enhance user experience, measure performance, support analytics, personalize content, and deliver relevant legal updates and marketing communications. All cookie usage is in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time by selecting which categories of cookies you consent to. Please note, however, that certain cookies are strictly necessary for the core functionality of our website and cannot be disabled.
Purpose of This Cookie Policy
At Code & Clause Legal, we believe in being open and transparent about how we use cookies and similar technologies on our website. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and the choices you have to control them. Our goal is to give you a clear understanding of how your online experience with us is enhanced, and how your privacy is protected every time you visit www.codeclauselegal.com.
Our Legal Platform
This website is operated by Code & Clause Legal, a technology legal consulting and advisory brand dedicated to supporting technology companies, tech startups, and founder-led ventures. We provide contract support, compliance guidance, licensing solutions, and privacy-related legal services in jurisdictions including Nigeria, the UK, the EU, and the U.S.
Our website may include links to tools and third-party platforms (e.g., Calendly, Cal.com, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Stripe, PayPal, YouTube, Zoom, Google Analytics, and others). These external tools and services may also use cookies according to their own privacy and cookie policies.
3. Legal Basis for Using Cookies
At Code & Clause Legal, we respect your privacy choices and ensure that our use of cookies complies with relevant global data protection laws, including the GDPR, UK GDPR, Nigeria's NDPR, and the CCPA.
Consent Requirement (GDPR, UK GDPR, NDPR)
For non-essential cookies, such as those used for analytics, marketing, or personalisation, we request your explicit consent before placing them on your device. This is in line with:
- General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
- UK GDPR (post-Brexit)
- Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR)
California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) -- Opt-Out Rights
Under the CCPA, users in California have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal information. While Code & Clause Legal does not "sell" personal data as traditionally defined, some third-party advertising or analytics tools we use may fall under the CCPA's broad definition of a "sale."
If you are a California resident, you may:
- Opt out of third-party advertising cookies
- Submit a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" request through our Privacy Request Form
5. Your Consent and Opt-out Options
When you first visit the Code & Clause Legal website, you'll see a cookie banner that informs you of our use of cookies and links you to this Cookie Policy. By continuing to browse the site after seeing the banner, or by selecting specific cookie preferences, you are giving your consent for us to use cookies as described here.
You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. You can do this by:
- Adjusting your browser settings to block or delete cookies
- Revisiting the cookie banner or preferences center (if available) to change your cookie choices
- Using opt-out mechanisms provided by third-party platforms
Please note: Strictly necessary cookies, used to ensure the website functions correctly will continue to operate even if you withdraw consent for other categories. These are essential to your use of the site.
8. Retention Periods
We believe in transparency, not just about the cookies we use, but how long they remain active and how long data collected through them is retained.
Session vs. Persistent Cookies
Session Cookies
These are temporary and only exist while your browser is open. They help with things like session navigation and remembering items in your consultation booking. Once you close your browser, these cookies are erased.
Persistent Cookies
These remain on your device after your session ends and help us remember you when you return. They are set with defined expiration dates and can be manually deleted at any time.
10. International Data Transfers via Cookies
As a global-facing platform, Code & Clause Legal uses several online tools and integrations that may process cookie-related data outside of your home country, including in jurisdictions that may not have the same level of data protection as your own.
Use of International Processors
Some cookies placed on your device via our website are associated with third-party services whose servers are located outside Nigeria, the UK, or the European Economic Area (EEA). These include:
- Google Analytics (U.S.)
- Meta Pixel / Facebook (U.S.)
- LinkedIn Insights (U.S.)
- Paystack (Nigeria)
- PayPal (U.S.)
- Calendly and Cal.com (U.S.)
- Zoom (U.S.)
11. Your Rights and Controls
We believe your data is yours to understand, manage, and protect. That's why we provide clear options and controls over how cookies interact with your personal information, in compliance with global data protection regulations like the GDPR, UK GDPR, NDPR, and CCPA.
Rights Under GDPR, UK GDPR, and NDPR
If you're located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Nigeria, you have specific rights regarding how cookies and similar technologies interact with your personal data:
- Right to be informed -- You have the right to know what data we collect via cookies and why.
- Right to access -- You can request a copy of any personal data processed via cookies that may be linked to you.
- Right to rectification -- If data collected through cookies is inaccurate or outdated, you can request corrections.
- Right to erasure (Right to be Forgotten) -- You may request deletion of cookie-related data where applicable.
- Right to object -- You can object to the processing of your data for certain purposes, including profiling or targeted advertising.
13. Do Not Track (DNT) Signals
Some web browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting that signals to websites and online services that you do not wish to be tracked across websites or online services. When you turn on DNT in your browser, it sends a request to websites you visit to disable tracking activity.
At this time, Code & Clause Legal does not respond to DNT signals. This is because there is no universally accepted technical standard or legal requirement for how DNT signals should be interpreted or honored by websites.
We remain committed to respecting your privacy and provide you with robust tools to manage cookie preferences and opt out of targeted advertising through:
- Our cookie banner and settings tool
- Browser controls
- Third-party opt-out mechanisms (e.g., Google Ads and Facebook Ad Preferences)
