At The Exchange with Femi Soneye (“The Exchange,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), we use cookies and similar technologies to help operate our website, understand how visitors use it, improve performance and provide a better digital experience.

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies that may be placed on your device, and the choices available to you.

This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.

1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small text files that websites may place on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or other internet-connected device when you visit a website.

They allow a website to recognise a device, remember certain information and perform particular functions.

Cookies can help websites operate efficiently and provide information to website owners about how visitors interact with their platforms.

Some cookies are placed directly by the website you are visiting, while others may be placed by third-party services operating on or through the website.

2. WHY WE USE COOKIES

  • Make the website function properly;

  • Remember user preferences;

  • Improve website navigation;

  • Understand how visitors use the website;

  • Measure website performance;

  • Identify technical problems;

  • Improve content and digital experiences;

  • Maintain website security;

  • Understand audience engagement;

  • Support embedded media and third-party content; and

  • Provide relevant functionality across our digital platforms.

We seek to use cookies in a way that is proportionate to the purpose for which they are required.

3. TYPES OF COOKIES WE MAY USE

Cookies used on The Exchange website may generally fall into the following categories.

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to operate.

They may support functions such as:

  • Page navigation;

  • Security;

  • Session management;

  • Form functionality;

  • Website preferences; and

  • Basic technical operations.

Because these cookies are necessary for the website to function, they may not always be capable of being disabled through our cookie controls.

3.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices and preferences you make.

For example, they may help remember:

  • Language preferences;

  • Display preferences;

  • Previously selected settings; or

  • Other website customisations.

Disabling these cookies may mean that certain website features do not function as intended.

3.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website.

They may provide information such as:

  • Number of visitors;

  • Most visited pages;

  • How visitors navigate the website;

  • Time spent on pages;

  • Traffic sources;

  • Device and browser information; and

  • General website performance.

This information helps us understand what works, identify areas for improvement and make informed decisions about the development of The Exchange's digital platform.

Where possible, analytics information is used in aggregated or statistical form.

3.4 Media and Embedded Content Cookies

The Exchange may embed content from third-party platforms such as video, audio, social media and podcast services.

For example, an episode may contain an embedded video from a third-party video platform.

When such content is loaded or interacted with, the third-party provider may place cookies or collect technical information according to its own policies.

The Exchange does not control cookies placed by third-party platforms.

3.5 Social Media Cookies

Our website may include social media buttons, feeds, sharing tools or other social features.

These services may place cookies or similar technologies on your device when you interact with them.

The information collected by these platforms is governed by their respective privacy policies and terms.

4. FIRST-PARTY AND THIRD-PARTY COOKIES

First-Party Cookies

These are cookies placed directly by The Exchange website.

They are generally used to support website functionality, preferences, security and analytics.

Third-Party Cookies

These are cookies placed by external services that operate on or through our website.

Examples may include:

  • Analytics providers;

  • Video platforms;

  • Podcast platforms;

  • Social media services;

  • Advertising or measurement services; and

  • Other technology providers.

Third-party cookies are subject to the policies of the organisations that place them.

5. HOW LONG COOKIES REMAIN ON YOUR DEVICE

Cookies may be either session cookies or persistent cookies.

Session Cookies

These cookies are temporary. They remain on your device while you browse the website and are generally removed when you close your browser.

Persistent Cookies

These cookies remain on your device for a specified period or until they are manually deleted.

The length of time a particular cookie remains active depends on its purpose and the service that places it.

6. YOUR COOKIE CHOICES

Depending on the cookies used on our website, you may be able to manage certain cookie preferences through our cookie consent tools.

You can also manage or delete cookies through your browser settings.

Most modern browsers allow you to:

  • Block cookies;

  • Allow cookies from specific websites; and

  • Receive notifications when cookies are being used.

Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality, performance or availability of some features of the website.

7. DO NOT TRACK SIGNALS

Some web browsers offer a “Do Not Track” feature that allows users to express a preference about online tracking.

Because there is currently no universally accepted standard for responding to such signals across all technologies and browsers, The Exchange may not respond to every Do Not Track signal.

Where applicable law requires a particular response to such signals, we will comply with the relevant requirements.

8. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES

The Exchange may provide links to third-party websites and services.

Once you leave our website, this Cookie Policy no longer governs how those third parties use cookies or similar technologies.

We encourage you to review the cookie and privacy policies of third-party websites before providing personal information or interacting with their services.

9. COOKIES AND PERSONAL INFORMATION

Cookies do not necessarily identify you by name.

However, certain cookie-related information may be capable of being associated with an identifiable individual, particularly when combined with other information.

Where cookie-related information constitutes personal information under applicable data protection law, we will handle it in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable legal requirements.

10. CHANGES TO OUR USE OF COOKIES

Our use of cookies may change as our website, technology, services and digital strategy develop.

We may introduce new services, change existing technologies or discontinue certain technologies.

Where such changes materially affect how personal information is collected or used, we will take appropriate steps to update our policies and provide any notice required by applicable law.

11. UPDATES TO THIS COOKIE POLICY
