Analytics Notice

EtikoNaija uses Google Analytics to understand aggregate usage trends, such as which pages are visited most often and how visitors navigate the site. This helps improve usability and content quality.

Google Analytics runs by default. A reusable notice banner appears on the site to inform users of this usage and links back to this Privacy Policy. The banner can be dismissed and re-opened at any time by clearing browser storage or using the provided option.

If you prefer not to be tracked by Google Analytics, you may use the opt-out tools described below.
