Cookie Policy

This page explains cookies and similar storage on our website, including Google AdSense and analytics, and how your banner choices work.

Last updated: 13 August 2026

When you visit Biver Royalty Homes we may store small text files (“cookies”) or use browser local storage. Some are essential. Others help us understand traffic or show relevant ads. We ask for your permission before non-essential cookies, in line with the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 and international advertising rules that Google AdSense requires publishers to follow.

1. What cookies are

A cookie is a small file placed on your device by a website. First-party cookies are set by biverroyaltyhomesltd.com. Third-party cookies are set by partners such as Google. We also use localStorage for consent records so we remember your choice on return visits. Session cookies expire when you close the browser. Persistent cookies last for a set period or until you delete them.

2. Types we use

Essential — required for security, load balancing, form spam resistance, and remembering that you already answered the cookie banner. These do not require opt-in.

Analytics — optional. Used only after you accept Analytics. They tell us which property and blog pages are read, approximate geography, and device type so we can improve content. We use Google Analytics 4 when a measurement ID is configured, with IP anonymization and Consent Mode.

Marketing / advertising — optional. Used after you accept Marketing. They allow Google AdSense and similar partners to personalize ads, measure conversions, and limit ad frequency. If you choose Essential Only, ads (when live) should be non-personalized or limited according to Google Consent Mode.

3. Cookie and storage list

biver_cookie_consent_v1 (localStorage, first-party, up to 12 months) — stores your Essential / Analytics / Marketing choices and the timestamp. Purpose: essential preference memory.

biver_promo_dismissed_v1 (sessionStorage, first-party, session) — remembers that you closed the promotional spotlight on this visit. Purpose: essential UX.

Google Analytics cookies (e.g. _ga, _ga_*, third-party/first-party depending on configuration, typically up to 24 months) — audience measurement after analytics consent.

Google AdSense / DoubleClick cookies (e.g. IDE, ANID, DSID, or other Google advertising cookies, third-party, variable duration) — ad delivery, fraud prevention, and personalization after marketing consent. Google’s current list is published in their advertising privacy documentation and may change.

Admin login sessions and CSRF-style tokens on staff pages are not used on the public marketing site in the same way and are outside this visitor-facing list.

4. Google AdSense specifically

Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on this site. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of some third-party vendors’ uses of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info/choices. Our publisher ID is included in the site head so Google can verify this domain. Empty ad units are not shown until we configure approved slot IDs after AdSense acceptance.

5. Your choices

On your first visit a banner lets you Accept All, Essential Only, or Manage individual categories. Accept All turns analytics and marketing on. Essential Only keeps only what the site needs. Manage lets you tick Analytics and Marketing separately, then Save Preferences. You can change your mind later using in the footer. Withdrawing consent does not retroactively delete Google’s historical logs held on Google’s systems; it stops new optional storage from this browser profile.

6. Browser and device controls

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies in Settings. Blocking all cookies may stop parts of this site from working (for example, keeping the banner dismissed). Mobile OS privacy settings and intelligent-tracking prevention in Safari may already limit third-party cookies. Using a private window starts without our stored consent, so the banner will appear again.

7. Updates and contact

We update this policy when we add tools (for example a new analytics product) or when Google changes AdSense cookie names. The date at the top is authoritative.
