In short: AbujaCity.com uses a small number of cookies. Essential cookies from Wix and Cloudflare keep the site working and secure. Analytics cookies from Google Analytics show us which guides people read. Advertising cookies from Google AdSense help pay for the free guide. Our beehiiv newsletter form also uses security cookies to block bots. You can accept or reject non-essential cookies at any time using the Cookie Settings link in our footer. We don't use a Facebook or Meta pixel.

This policy should be read with our Privacy Policy (https://www.abujacity.com/privacy-policy).

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files a website saves in your browser. They let a site remember you between pages, keep it secure, and count visits. Similar tools such as local storage and pixels work in much the same way, and this policy covers them too. First-party cookies are set by abujacity.com. Third-party cookies are set by another company's domain, such as doubleclick.net or beehiiv.com.

Which cookies does AbujaCity.com use?

We found these cookies on our homepage, a neighbourhood guide, /tours and /contact-us on 27 October 2026, before any consent was given. Durations are what we saw in the browser. Chrome caps cookies at 400 days, so a vendor's documented maximum may be longer.

Does AbujaCity.com use a Facebook (Meta) pixel or sell cookie data?

No. We don't use a Meta pixel and we don't sell cookie data. Links to WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and X are plain links. Those platforms set their own cookies only after you go to them.

How often is this cookie list updated?

We re-check the site's cookies when we add a new tool and at least once a year, and update this page and its "Last checked" date.
