We recommend reviewing the privacy and cookie policies of third-party services when appropriate.
13. How Long Do Cookies Remain?
Cookies may be either session cookies or persistent cookies.
Session cookies
These generally remain on your device while you use the website and are removed when the browsing session ends.
Persistent cookies
These remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them.
The length of time varies depending on the purpose of the cookie and the provider that places it.
The actual duration of each cookie used by Healthdictive should be verified from the website’s current cookie scan.
14. Managing Cookies
You can control or restrict cookies in several ways.
Depending on the website’s configuration, Healthdictive may provide a cookie-consent or preference mechanism allowing you to:
- accept cookies;
- reject non-essential cookies;
- manage cookie categories; or
- change your preferences.
You can also control cookies through your web browser.
Most modern browsers allow you to:
- view stored cookies;
- delete cookies;
- block cookies;
- block third-party cookies; or
- receive warnings before cookies are stored.
15. What Happens If You Disable Cookies?
Disabling cookies does not necessarily prevent you from visiting Healthdictive.
However, some website functions may not work correctly.
For example, disabling certain cookies may affect:
- forms;
- product ordering;
- checkout;
- digital downloads;
- login functionality;
- security features;
- website preferences; or
- other interactive features.
Strictly necessary cookies may therefore be required for certain functions.
16. Cookie Consent
Where applicable, Healthdictive will seek consent for cookies that require consent under applicable law.
You may be able to change or withdraw your cookie preferences where the website provides an appropriate cookie-management mechanism.
Withdrawing consent does not necessarily affect cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation of the website.
17. Cookies and Personal Information
Some cookies may collect information that can be linked to an individual or device.
Examples may include:
- IP address;
- device identifiers;
- online identifiers;
- browsing information;
- website interactions; or
- information associated with an account.
Where cookie information constitutes personal information, Healthdictive will handle it in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data-protection requirements.
18. Nigeria Data Protection
Healthdictive operates in Nigeria and aims to handle personal information in accordance with applicable Nigerian data-protection requirements, including the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023, where applicable.
Where cookies involve personal information, we aim to apply appropriate principles including:
- transparency;
- lawful processing;
- purpose limitation;
- data minimization;
- appropriate security; and
- responsible retention.
19. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting.
Because there is currently no single universal technical standard for responding to Do Not Track signals, Healthdictive may not respond to every browser-based Do Not Track signal.
Where applicable, cookie-consent controls provided by the website should be used to manage non-essential cookies.
20. Changes to Our Cookie Use
The cookies used by Healthdictive may change when we:
- install or remove WordPress plugins;
- introduce new website features;
- change analytics services;
- introduce advertising;
- add ecommerce functionality;
- introduce digital products;
- add payment services;
- improve website security; or
- change third-party services.
For this reason, the actual cookies present on the website may differ from examples described in this policy.
21. Cookie Audit and Accuracy
Healthdictive aims to keep this Cookies Policy reasonably accurate.
However, third-party services may introduce, modify or remove cookies without direct control by Healthdictive.
We may periodically review the cookies and tracking technologies used on the website and update this policy where necessary.
The exact cookie names, providers, purposes and retention periods should be confirmed using a current Healthdictive cookie scan before publication.
22. Your Privacy Choices
You can reduce tracking by:
- rejecting non-essential cookies where a consent mechanism is provided;
- adjusting your browser settings;
- deleting stored cookies;
- blocking third-party cookies;
- limiting advertising personalization through relevant platform settings; and
- avoiding unnecessary submission of personal information.
Please note that blocking all cookies may affect website functionality.

Once you leave Healthdictive and visit another website, that website’s own cookie and privacy policies apply.
Healthdictive does not control cookies used by websites that we do not operate.
