GiversHive Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 29, 2026
Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how GiversHive, a mobile application based in Nigeria, uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our application. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
This policy applies to the GiversHive application and any associated services.
What are cookies
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your mobile device or computer when you visit an application or website. Cookies are widely used by application providers in order to make their applications work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the application provider (in this case, GiversHive) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the application provider are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the application (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits the application in question and when it visits certain other applications or websites.
What are cookies
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our application to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our application. Third parties serve cookies through our application for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.
The specific types of first-party and third-party cookies served through our application and the purposes they perform are described in the table below.
| Type of Cookie | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary Cookies | These cookies are essential to provide you with services available through our application and to enable you to use some of its features, such as accessing secure areas. |
| Performance and Functionality Cookies | These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our application but are non-essential to its use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality may become unavailable. |
| Analytics and Customization Cookies | These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our application is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customize our application for you. |
| Advertising Cookies | These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed for advertisers, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests. |
Other tracking technologies
We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons, pixels, and other mobile identifiers. These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our application. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our application to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our application from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party application, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
How can I control cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences by managing the settings within your mobile application or device.
Most mobile devices allow you to manage your cookie preferences. Please refer to your device's help documentation or settings to learn more about how to manage your cookie settings.
If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our application, though your access to some functionality and areas of our application may be restricted.
Third-party applications
Our application may contain links to third-party websites or applications, such as for social media sharing or charitable organization websites. Please be aware that we do not control these third-party applications, and they may use cookies themselves. We encourage you to review the cookie policies of any third-party applications you visit.
Updates to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
Transfer of Data Outside Nigeria
If Givershive transfers your personal data to a country outside of Nigeria, we will ensure that an adequate level of protection is afforded to the data, as mandated by the NDPR. This may include using standard contractual clauses or relying on the recipient country's adequacy status as determined by the appropriate Nigerian authority.
