1. Introduction

At TR Thrive ("we", "our", or "us"), we are committed to enhancing your experience on our legal job portal platform at https://trthrive.com while respecting your privacy. This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies to provide, improve, and personalise our Services, including job listings, event management, professional networking, career development tools, and our Legal Connections game at https://trthrive.com/legal-connections. Our use of cookies complies with the Nigerian Data Protection Regulation (NDPR) 2019 and other applicable data protection laws in Nigeria.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us understand how you interact with our Platform, enabling us to deliver a seamless and tailored experience. This policy details the types of cookies we use, their purposes, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. By using our Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. For any questions, please contact our Data Protection Officer at legal@trthrive.com.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files placed on your device (e.g., computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit our Platform. These files store information about your preferences and interactions, allowing us to enhance functionality, personalise content, and analyse usage patterns. We also use similar tracking technologies, such as web beacons, pixels, or local storage, to achieve similar purposes. These technologies support features like maintaining your login session, remembering your preferences, and tracking engagement with our Legal Connections game, which fosters professional networking through interactive challenges.

Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information unless combined with other data we collect, as outlined in our Privacy Policy. They are essential for delivering a user-friendly experience, particularly for a platform like TR Thrive, which connects legal professionals, employers, and event organisers within the Nigerian legal ecosystem. You can control how cookies are used through your browser settings or our cookie consent mechanism, as described below.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

3.1 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the core functionality of the Platform. They enable you to navigate the website, access secure areas (e.g., your account dashboard), and use key features like job applications, event registrations, and the Legal Connections game at https://trthrive.com/legal-connections.php. For example, these cookies maintain your login session, ensure secure form submissions, and track your progress in the game. Without essential cookies, the Platform would not function properly, and they cannot be disabled as they are critical to delivering our Services.

3.2 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how users interact with the Platform by collecting anonymised data on usage patterns. This includes tracking which pages you visit (e.g., job listings or event pages), how long you spend on them, and how you engage with features like the Legal Connections game. These insights allow us to optimise the Platform, improve content relevance, and enhance user experience. For instance, we may analyse how frequently users play the Legal Connections game to refine its design. Analytics cookies are used in compliance with NDPR, ensuring data is aggregated and does not identify individuals directly.

3.3 Preference Cookies

Preference cookies store your settings and preferences to provide a personalised experience. These include remembering your language selection, display preferences, or job search filters. For example, they may save your preferred job categories or event types, making it easier to access relevant content. In the Legal Connections game, preference cookies may store your game settings or progress to enhance your experience across sessions. You can disable these cookies, but doing so may result in a less tailored experience.

3.4 Performance Cookies

Performance cookies collect data to improve the Platform's speed and responsiveness. They help us identify technical issues, such as slow-loading pages or errors during job applications or game interactions. By analysing performance metrics, we ensure the Platform operates efficiently, providing a smooth experience for users engaging with job listings, event registrations, or the Legal Connections game. These cookies are anonymised and focused on technical optimization, in line with NDPR requirements.

3.5 Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies, used only with your consent, track your interactions to deliver personalised advertisements and promotions. For example, they may track your engagement with job listings or the Legal Connections game to suggest relevant events or career resources. These cookies help us tailor marketing communications, such as newsletters about new features or exclusive events, to your interests. You can opt out of marketing cookies at any time through our cookie consent tool or browser settings, ensuring compliance with NDPR consent requirements.

4. How We Use Cookies

4.1 Enhancing Functionality

Cookies are integral to delivering a seamless experience on TR Thrive. Essential cookies ensure that you can log in securely, submit job applications, register for events, and participate in the Legal Connections game without interruptions. For example, they maintain your session when navigating between job listings and game challenges, ensuring your progress is saved. These cookies are critical to the Platform's core operations and support its mission to connect legal professionals efficiently.

4.2 Personalising Your Experience

Preference and marketing cookies enable us to tailor the Platform to your needs. By remembering your job search preferences, event interests, or game settings, we provide relevant content, such as recommended legal roles or networking events. For the Legal Connections game, cookies may store your preferred game modes or progress, enhancing your engagement. Personalisation ensures that your interactions with the Platform are efficient and aligned with your professional goals within the Nigerian legal ecosystem.

4.3 Improving Platform Performance

Analytics and performance cookies help us monitor and enhance the Platform's functionality. By analysing data on page visits, feature usage, and game interactions, we identify areas for improvement, such as optimising the Legal Connections game for faster loading or refining job search algorithms. These insights ensure the Platform remains user-friendly and responsive, providing a high-quality experience for job seekers, employers, and event organisers.

4.4 Marketing and Promotions

With your consent, marketing cookies allow us to deliver targeted promotions, such as job alerts, event invitations, or updates about the Legal Connections game. For example, if you frequently engage with corporate law job listings, we may use cookies to suggest relevant webinars or networking opportunities. These cookies help us communicate valuable opportunities while respecting your right to opt out, ensuring compliance with NDPR consent requirements.

5. Managing Cookies

TR Thrive provides tools to manage your cookie preferences, ensuring you have control over your data. Upon visiting our Platform, you will encounter a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or customise your cookie settings. You can choose to enable or disable non-essential cookies, such as analytics, preference, and marketing cookies, while essential cookies remain active to ensure core functionality. For the Legal Connections game, essential cookies are required to track progress and ensure a seamless experience, but you can opt out of related analytics or marketing cookies. Your preferences are saved for 3 months to respect your choices while ensuring periodic reconfirmation.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings, such as deleting existing cookies or blocking future ones. Instructions vary by browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari), and we recommend consulting your browser's help resources for guidance. Disabling certain cookies may limit Platform functionality, such as personalised job recommendations or game progress tracking. We are committed to transparency and provide clear options for managing cookies in compliance with NDPR requirements. For assistance, contact us at legal@trthrive.com.

6. Third-Party Cookies

We engage trusted third-party service providers to support Platform operations, some of which may use cookies.

These third parties are bound by contracts to comply with NDPR and protect your data, using cookies only for the purposes outlined in this policy.
