1. What Are Cookies & Local Storage?
HTTP cookies are compact text files placed onto your computer, smartphone, or tablet by websites you visit. They are universally employed across the internet to enable core platform features, remember your authentication session across page navigations, and safeguard web applications from malicious cross-site scripting (XSS) or cross-site request forgery (CSRF) exploits.
In addition to HTTP cookies, modern web platforms utilize HTML5 Web Storage (such as localStorage and sessionStorage) within your browser. These technologies allow us to store lightweight user interface preferences (such as your chosen Dark or Light theme mode, stadium sound effects, and collapsed navigation states) directly on your device without transmitting unnecessary data over your mobile network.
2. Categories of Cookies Deployed on Wasanni
Wasanni strictly restricts cookie usage to functional, security, and performance necessities in full compliance with the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA 2023) and the GDPR. We classify our cookies into the following categories:
A. Strictly Necessary & Security Cookies

These cookies are indispensable for the operation of the Platform. Without them, you cannot authenticate, navigate protected stadium threads, or execute wallet withdrawals.
PHPSESSID: Holds your encrypted session identifier while logged into your Wasanni account.csrf_token: Defends your account against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) exploits when executing match strikes, comments, and diamond purchases.
B. Functional & Preference Storage

4. Security Attributes & Cookie Hardening
Wasanni Limited configures all HTTP cookie headers with strict defenses to prevent interception:
- HttpOnly Flag: Session cookies cannot be accessed or read by JavaScript code running in the browser, completely mitigating cookie theft via Cross-Site Scripting (XSS).
- Secure Attribute: Cookies are transmitted strictly across encrypted HTTPS connections, preventing plaintext snooping over public Wi-Fi networks.
- SameSite Configuration: Enforcing SameSite=Lax and SameSite=Strict flags prevents external origin sites from sending your credentials during unauthorized third-party requests.
5. Our Zero-Surveillance Promise
Wasanni Limited does NOT participate in invasive ad retargeting networks, cross-device behavioral surveillance, or third-party data broker harvesting. We do not load third-party social tracker pixels that follow your browsing habits across external websites.

7. Global Privacy Controls & Do Not Track (DNT) Signals
Wasanni Limited actively respects automated browser privacy signals, including the Do Not Track (DNT) header and Global Privacy Control (GPC) specifications. Because our architecture does not employ marketing trackers, behavioral pixels, or third-party ad profiling engines, users browsing with privacy headers enabled experience full platform utility without surveillance.
Our data controllers in Abuja continuously monitor regulatory guidance issued by the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC) and international privacy bodies to ensure our cookie minimization protocols remain at the vanguard of web privacy.
