Introduction
Welcome to Workpedia. This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on our website www.workpedia.name.ng. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control their use.
This Cookie Policy is part of our commitment to transparency and protecting your privacy. By continuing to use our Site, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to the website owners.
Think of a cookie as a memory aid for a website. It remembers your actions and preferences (like login information, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don't have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.
Cookies can be:
- Session cookies: These are temporary and expire when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies: These stay on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually.

- Improvement: To identify areas where we can improve your experience
- Remembering preferences: To save your settings for future visits
Without some cookies, certain features of our Site may not function properly. We do not use cookies for advertising or marketing purposes.
