LoomTrend

Effective Date: 23 September 2026

Last Updated: 23 September 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how LoomTrend uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or interact with our website.

Cookies help us operate our online jewellery store, maintain shopping-cart functionality, remember customer preferences, improve website performance, protect transactions, understand how visitors use the website, and, where applicable and permitted, support marketing activities.

This Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and other applicable LoomTrend policies.

Under Nigeria’s data-protection framework, website tracking technologies that process personal data must be handled transparently. Nigeria Data Protection Commission guidance specifically addresses cookies and requires website operators to provide clear information about their presence, purposes, responsible organisation, and how users may withdraw consent. (Nigeria Data Protection Commission)

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that a website places or stores on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit the website.

Cookies allow a website to remember certain information about your visit.

For example, a cookie may help LoomTrend remember:

  • Products placed in your shopping cart
  • Login or account session
  • Website preferences
  • Currency preference
  • Cookie choices
  • Pages visited
  • General website interactions

Cookies can make online shopping easier because certain information does not need to be entered or selected again every time you move between pages.

The Nigeria Data Protection Commission describes cookies as files that may help websites remember users’ preferences and interactions. (Nigeria Data Protection Commission)

2. Why LoomTrend Uses Cookies

LoomTrend may use cookies and similar technologies where reasonably necessary to:

  • Keep the website functioning correctly
  • Maintain shopping-cart contents
  • Support account login and authentication
  • Remember customer preferences
  • Facilitate checkout
  • Improve website security
  • Detect suspicious website activity
  • Understand website performance
  • Identify technical errors
  • Measure website traffic
  • Understand which pages customers find useful
  • Remember cookie choices
  • Support marketing or advertising functionality where enabled and permitted
  • Improve the overall shopping experience

We do not intend to use cookies in a manner that unnecessarily interferes with your privacy.

3. Types of Cookies We May Use

The cookies used on LoomTrend may fall into the following categories.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for essential website functions.

They may support activities such as:

  • Keeping products in your shopping cart
  • Maintaining checkout sessions
  • Enabling secure areas of the website
  • Account authentication
  • Fraud-prevention functionality
  • Remembering privacy choices
  • Maintaining website security
  • Supporting essential technical functions

Without these cookies, parts of LoomTrend may not function correctly.

For example, removing a necessary shopping-cart cookie could prevent the website from remembering products selected by a customer.

NDPC cookie guidance distinguishes necessary cookies supporting functions such as security, network stability, and accessibility from other categories of cookies. (Nigeria Data Protection Commission)

4. Preference and Functionality Cookies

Preference cookies help LoomTrend remember choices that improve your shopping experience.

These may include preferences relating to:

  • Selected currency
  • Language, where available
  • Display preferences
  • Account settings
  • Recently selected options
  • Website functionality

For example, if LoomTrend allows customers to select a preferred currency, a cookie may help retain that selection while browsing.

Disabling preference cookies may mean that some settings need to be selected again on future visits.

5. Analytics and Performance Cookies

LoomTrend may use analytics technologies to understand how visitors interact with the website.

Depending on the tools enabled on the website, analytics information may include:

  • Pages visited
  • Time spent on pages
  • General navigation patterns
  • Entry and exit pages
  • Device category
  • Browser type
  • Approximate geographic information derived from technical data
  • Website errors
  • Page performance
  • Referring source
  • General interaction with website features

We may use this information to identify problems, understand which areas of LoomTrend are useful to customers, and improve website performance.

Analytics information should be collected and used in accordance with applicable privacy and consent requirements.

6. Marketing and Advertising Cookies

Where LoomTrend uses advertising or marketing technologies, cookies may help us:

  • Measure promotional campaign performance
  • Understand whether advertisements lead visitors to LoomTrend
  • Avoid showing unnecessarily repetitive promotions
  • Understand general customer interests
  • Measure advertising conversions
  • Provide more relevant promotional content

These types of cookies are not treated as essential website functionality.

Where consent is required, they should not be activated merely because a visitor accesses LoomTrend.

Official NDPC guidance states that non-necessary cookies should provide users with specific options to accept or reject them. (Nigeria Data Protection Commission)

7. Shopping Cart Cookies

As an e-commerce website, LoomTrend may use cookies or similar session technologies to maintain products selected for purchase.

These technologies may help the website remember:

  • Products added to a cart
  • Product quantities
  • Selected product variations
  • Cart session
  • Checkout progression

Without these technologies, selected products could disappear each time you move to another page.

Shopping-cart cookies are generally associated with functionality necessary to provide the online-shopping service requested by the customer.

8. Account and Login Cookies

If LoomTrend provides customer-account functionality, cookies may be used to maintain a secure logged-in session.

These cookies may:

  • Recognise an authenticated account session
  • Prevent repeated login requests between pages
  • Protect access to account information
  • Assist with security monitoring
  • Help prevent unauthorised account access

Customers should sign out after using LoomTrend on public or shared devices.

9. Checkout Cookies

Cookies may also be necessary during checkout to maintain information while customers move through different stages of an order.

They may assist with:

  • Order session continuity
  • Cart contents
  • Delivery selections
  • Checkout status
  • Security controls
  • Confirmation of completed checkout steps

The presence of a checkout cookie does not necessarily mean that sensitive payment credentials are contained within that cookie.

Customers should only enter sensitive payment credentials through the secure payment interface presented during checkout.

10. Payment Provider Technologies

Third-party payment processors, banks, or payment technology providers integrated with LoomTrend may use their own cookies or similar technologies for purposes such as:

  • Secure transaction processing
  • Authentication
  • Fraud detection
  • Payment-session management
  • Risk assessment
  • Preventing duplicate transactions

Where a payment provider independently controls those technologies, its own privacy and cookie practices may also apply.

LoomTrend does not use ordinary website cookies as a reason to request that customers disclose their CVV, UPI PIN, online-banking password, or OTP through email, contact forms, or customer-support messages.

The exact technical handling of card credentials depends on LoomTrend’s active payment implementation and payment provider and should be verified before publishing any absolute statement that full card credentials are never processed or stored by LoomTrend systems.

11. Security Cookies

Security-related cookies or similar technologies may help protect LoomTrend and its users from:

  • Unauthorised login attempts
  • Malicious activity
  • Session hijacking
  • Fraud
  • Automated abuse
  • Suspicious checkout activity
  • Website attacks

These cookies may be considered necessary where they are required to safely provide website functionality.

12. Session Cookies

Some cookies exist only while your browser remains open.

These are commonly called session cookies.

They may be deleted automatically when you close your browser.

Session cookies may help LoomTrend maintain information during a single browsing or checkout session.

13. Persistent Cookies

Other cookies may remain on your device after you close your browser.

These are commonly called persistent cookies.

They may remain for a defined period or until manually deleted, depending on their purpose and configuration.

Persistent cookies can be used to remember:

  • Preferences
  • Cookie-consent choices
  • Login settings where permitted
  • Certain analytics identifiers

LoomTrend should not retain cookie-derived personal information for longer than reasonably required for its intended purpose.

The NDP Act requires personal data to be retained only as long as necessary for the lawful purpose for which it is processed. (Nigeria Data Protection Commission)

14. First-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are cookies placed directly by LoomTrend or by technologies operating on behalf of LoomTrend through the LoomTrend website domain.

They may be used for:

  • Shopping carts
  • Sessions
  • Accounts
  • Website preferences
  • Security
  • Cookie settings

15. Third-Party Cookies

Third-party cookies may be created by external service providers whose technology is integrated into LoomTrend.

Depending on the services enabled on the website, these providers could include:

  • Payment processors
  • Website analytics providers
  • Advertising platforms
  • Social-media services
  • Security providers
  • Embedded-content providers

We do not list a specific provider as being used by LoomTrend unless that provider is actually implemented on the website.

Third parties that independently process personal data may have their own privacy and cookie policies.

16. Similar Tracking Technologies

Cookies are not the only technology that may store or recognise information.

Depending on the website configuration, LoomTrend or its service providers may use similar technologies, such as:

  • Pixels
  • Tags
  • Local storage
  • Session storage
  • Software development technologies
  • Conversion tags
  • Embedded scripts

Where these technologies perform functions similar to cookies and process personal data, we treat them consistently with applicable privacy requirements.

NDPC guidance states that personal-data tracking tools performing functions comparable to cookies should generally be subject to similar requirements. (Nigeria Data Protection Commission)

17. Cookie Consent

Where applicable law requires consent for a particular cookie or tracking technology, LoomTrend should obtain the necessary consent before activating it.

Users should have meaningful choices concerning non-essential cookies.

Depending on website configuration, the cookie banner or preference tool may provide options such as:

Accept All
Allows optional cookie categories selected through the consent interface.

Reject Non-Essential Cookies
Allows the website to continue using cookies needed for core operation while declining optional categories.

Manage Preferences
Allows users to choose particular cookie categories.

NDPC guidance recommends conspicuous cookie notices and clear accept/reject choices for non-necessary cookies. (Nigeria Data Protection Commission)

18. Necessary Cookies and Consent

Some cookies are necessary for LoomTrend to provide functionality specifically requested by a user.

For example, essential technologies may be necessary to:

  • Keep a shopping cart operational
  • Secure a customer account
  • Maintain a checkout session
  • Remember privacy choices
  • Protect against security threats

The legal treatment of necessary cookies may differ from non-essential analytics or advertising technologies.

NDPC guidance indicates that necessary cookies supporting essential functionality may be handled differently from other cookies, while non-necessary cookies require clearer affirmative choices. (Nigeria Data Protection Commission)

19. Withdrawing Cookie Consent

Where cookie processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent.

Withdrawal should be possible through available cookie settings or preference controls where implemented.

Changing your consent will not necessarily remove cookies already stored on your device. You may also need to delete existing cookies through your browser settings.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect processing that was lawfully undertaken before consent was withdrawn.

The Nigeria Data Protection Act recognises a data subject’s right to withdraw consent where processing relies on consent. (Nigeria Data Protection Commission)

20. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

Most internet browsers allow users to manage cookie settings.

Depending on your browser, you may be able to:

  • View stored cookies
  • Delete individual cookies
  • Delete all cookies
  • Block third-party cookies
  • Block all cookies
  • Automatically delete cookies when the browser closes
  • Restrict tracking technologies

The exact procedure differs by browser and device.

Please refer to the privacy or cookie settings available within your browser.

21. What Happens If You Disable Cookies?

You can choose to disable or delete cookies, but doing so may affect website functionality.

For example, LoomTrend may be unable to:

  • Keep products in your shopping cart
  • Maintain your login session
  • Remember preferences
  • Complete certain checkout steps
  • Retain cookie choices
  • Provide certain personalised functionality

Blocking optional analytics or advertising cookies should generally have less impact on core shopping functionality than blocking strictly necessary cookies.

22. Cookie Retention

Different cookies may have different lifespans.

Cookies may remain:

  • Only during a browser session;
  • Until a specified expiry date;
  • Until the user removes them; or
  • Until the relevant service no longer requires them.

LoomTrend seeks to avoid retaining personal data derived from cookies for longer than necessary for its lawful purposes.

Where third-party technologies are used, those providers may apply their own retention periods.

23. Information Collected Through Cookies

Depending on the cookie and technology used, information may include:

  • IP address
  • Device type
  • Browser information
  • Session identifier
  • Cookie identifier
  • Pages viewed
  • Website interactions
  • Shopping-cart state
  • Referring website
  • Approximate location based on technical information
  • Date and time of access
  • Consent preference
  • General transaction-session information

Cookies should not be used to collect more personal information than reasonably necessary for the stated purpose.

The NDP Act requires personal-data processing to be fair, lawful, transparent, purpose-specific, proportionate, and appropriately secured. (Nigeria Data Protection Commission)

24. Personal Data and Cookies

Some cookie information may not identify a person by name on its own.

However, cookie identifiers and technical information may constitute personal data where they identify, relate to, or can reasonably be associated with an individual.

Where cookie information qualifies as personal data, LoomTrend will handle it in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data-protection requirements.

25. Analytics Information

Where analytics tools are enabled, LoomTrend may use aggregated or statistical information to understand matters such as:

  • Popular product categories
  • Frequently visited pages
  • Website navigation
  • Traffic sources
  • Website performance
  • Technical issues
  • General visitor patterns

Where possible, analytics information should be limited to what is reasonably necessary to improve the website and customer experience.

26. Advertising and Remarketing

If LoomTrend introduces advertising or remarketing tools, those technologies may attempt to recognise browsers or devices across website visits.

Where required, such technologies should only be used after the appropriate consent has been obtained.

Customers should have a reasonable method of declining or withdrawing consent for optional advertising technologies.

This section does not mean that LoomTrend necessarily operates every type of advertising or remarketing technology described above.

27. Social Media Features

LoomTrend may provide buttons or links enabling visitors to interact with social-media platforms.

If embedded social-media technologies are used, those platforms may receive information about a visitor’s interaction with the website.

A social-media provider’s independent processing is governed by its own terms and privacy information.

Simply providing a normal external link does not necessarily mean that the third party places a cookie on LoomTrend.

28. Embedded Content

Certain pages may contain embedded content or functionality supplied by external providers.

Depending on the integration, external providers may use cookies when users interact with that content.

LoomTrend aims to assess such technologies and apply appropriate cookie controls where required.

29. Children’s Privacy and Cookies

LoomTrend primarily provides jewellery and fashion accessories and is not intended as a website specifically directed toward children.

We do not knowingly intend to use advertising cookies to profile children.

Under the Nigeria Data Protection Act, additional safeguards apply to processing children’s personal data, including parental or guardian consent where consent is the applicable lawful basis. (Nigeria Data Protection Commission)

If a parent or guardian believes that a child has provided personal information through LoomTrend in circumstances requiring intervention, they may contact us.

30. International Visitors

Because LoomTrend’s website may be accessible from outside Nigeria, visitors in other jurisdictions may have additional rights regarding cookies and tracking technologies.

Where LoomTrend’s activities fall within the territorial scope of another applicable privacy framework, we will seek to implement cookie practices appropriate to those requirements.

For example, additional consent requirements may apply to optional tracking technologies used for visitors protected by European privacy and electronic-communications rules.

31. International Data Processing

Some website-service providers may process cookie-related information from servers located outside Nigeria.

Where personal data is transferred internationally, LoomTrend will seek to use appropriate safeguards required by applicable data-protection rules.

The Nigeria Data Protection Act contains requirements governing the transfer of personal data outside Nigeria. (Nigeria Data Protection Commission)

More information about international data transfers can be found in our Privacy Policy.

32. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures intended to protect cookie-related personal data from:

  • Unauthorised access
  • Unlawful use
  • Unauthorised alteration
  • Loss
  • Improper disclosure
  • Destruction

However, no website or internet-based technology can guarantee complete security.

Users should also protect their devices, browsers, passwords, and account credentials.

33. Cookie Banner Information

Where LoomTrend uses a cookie banner, it should clearly explain that the website uses cookies and provide appropriate choices.

The banner should not intentionally mislead users into accepting optional cookies.

NDPC guidance indicates that cookie notices should be conspicuous and should explain the presence and purpose of cookies, identify the organisation responsible, and explain how consent can be withdrawn. (Nigeria Data Protection Commission)

34. Changes to Cookie Preferences

Customers may change their cookie preferences where LoomTrend provides a cookie-preference control.

Changing optional-cookie settings should not prevent access to essential parts of the website solely because optional consent was refused, unless the particular function legitimately depends on the technology concerned.

Essential cookies required for shopping-cart, security, account, or checkout functionality may continue operating where necessary.

35. Do Not Include Sensitive Information in Cookie Forms

Where LoomTrend provides a cookie preference tool, customers should not enter sensitive information into that tool.

A cookie banner should never require you to provide:

  • Debit or credit card number
  • CVV
  • UPI PIN
  • Banking password
  • OTP
  • Government identification credentials

If you encounter a suspicious request claiming to be part of LoomTrend’s cookie settings, contact us using the details below.

36. Third-Party Responsibility

Where an independent third-party provider determines how its own cookies or tracking technologies process information, that provider may have separate obligations as a data controller or similar responsible entity.

Customers are encouraged to review third-party privacy information where they directly interact with an external service.

LoomTrend nevertheless seeks to select and configure website integrations responsibly.

37. Cookie Audits and Updates

LoomTrend may periodically review the cookies and similar technologies used on the website.

This may be necessary when:

  • New website features are introduced
  • Checkout technology changes
  • Analytics tools change
  • Marketing tools are added or removed
  • Security systems change
  • Legal requirements change

Cookie categories and descriptions may therefore be updated over time.

38. Your Data Protection Rights

Where cookie information constitutes personal data, you may have rights available under applicable data-protection law.

Depending on the circumstances, these may include rights relating to:

  • Access
  • Correction
  • Erasure
  • Objection
  • Restriction
  • Withdrawal of consent
  • Data portability
  • Complaint to a competent authority

The Nigeria Data Protection Act provides a range of data-subject rights and establishes the Nigeria Data Protection Commission as the relevant supervisory authority in Nigeria. (Nigeria Data Protection Commission)

More information is available in our Privacy Policy.

39. Changes to This Cookie Policy

LoomTrend may update this Cookie Policy where:

  • Website technology changes
  • New cookies are introduced
  • Existing technologies are removed
  • Service providers change
  • Legal or regulatory requirements change
  • Our business operations change

The most recent version will be published on LoomTrend with an updated effective or revision date.

We encourage users to review this Policy periodically.
