Cookie Policy
Last updated: May 2026
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, remember your preferences, and provide information to website owners.
Cookies can be first-party (set directly by the website you are visiting) or third-party (set by a different domain, usually a service embedded in the page). They can also be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (stored for a defined period).
2. How We Use Cookies
This website — donukogbara.com — uses cookies for the following purposes only:
- Essential functionality — to make the website work correctly (e.g. security tokens for form submissions)
- Performance — basic, anonymous measurement of how pages are used so we can improve the experience
We do not use cookies for advertising, retargeting, or cross-site behavioural tracking. We do not share cookie data with advertisers or marketing platforms.
3. Types of Cookies on This Site
Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function. They cannot be disabled without breaking core features.
- XSRF-TOKEN / laravel_session — Set by the Laravel web framework to protect against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks when you submit forms (contact form, book order enquiry). These are session cookies and are deleted when you close your browser.
Functional Cookies
This website does not currently set any functional cookies beyond the essential ones listed above. No preferences, login sessions, or personalisation data are stored.
Analytics Cookies
This website does not currently use any analytics cookies (e.g. Google Analytics, Matomo). If analytics tools are added in the future, this policy will be updated and your consent will be sought where required.
Advertising Cookies
This website does not use any advertising or targeting cookies whatsoever.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Although we keep our own cookie usage to a minimum, some third-party services embedded in this website may place their own cookies on your device. These are outside our direct control.
YouTube (Google LLC)
Our Donu's World page embeds YouTube videos. Videos on this page are loaded on demand — the YouTube iframe only loads when you click to play a video. Once loaded, YouTube may set cookies to track playback, remember your preferences, and (if you are signed into a Google account) associate viewing activity with your account.
YouTube's cookies are governed by Google's Cookie Policy. To prevent YouTube from setting cookies, you can avoid clicking to play embedded videos and instead watch them directly on Donu's YouTube channel.
Google Fonts
This website loads fonts (Playfair Display and Inter) from Google Fonts. This causes your browser to make a request to Google's servers, which may set a short-lived cookie or cache the font files. Google Fonts is used without any identifying parameters and does not create a profile of your browsing activity. See Google Fonts FAQ on Privacy for details.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can control and/or delete cookies at any time using your browser settings. The exact steps depend on your browser:
Please note that disabling all cookies may affect the functionality of this and other websites. In particular, disabling essential cookies may prevent forms from submitting correctly.
You can also opt out of Google's cookie tracking across sites by visiting Google's Data & Privacy settings.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as the website evolves — for example, if we introduce analytics tools or new embedded content. When we do, the "last updated" date at the top of this page will be revised. We recommend checking back periodically.
Material changes that affect your rights or require your consent will be communicated prominently.
