Effective Date: 2nd September 2026

Last Updated: 2nd September 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to MOCBT E-LEARNING CONCEPTS (“MOCBT,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

MOCBT E-LEARNING CONCEPTS is an online learning and educational platform operated by MOC Beacon Technologies. Our platform provides online courses, learning resources, assessments, certificates, learning reports, student accounts, support services, artificial intelligence assistance, payment services, and other educational features.

This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use our website, learning platform, student portal, administrative portal, and related services.

Cookies help us operate the platform securely, remember your preferences, maintain your login session, improve your learning experience, understand how visitors use our platform, and, where applicable, provide personalised or analytical features.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.

Our approach to cookies and personal data is intended to follow applicable data protection requirements, including the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 and applicable guidance issued by the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC). NDPC guidance emphasises transparency around cookie use and providing users with the ability to accept or decline applicable non-essential cookies. (National Drug Policy Committee)

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files or similar pieces of information that a website stores on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device when you visit the website.

Cookies allow a website to recognise a browser or device and remember certain information between visits or during a session.

For example, cookies may allow MOCBT to remember:

  1. That you are logged into your student account;
  2. Your selected language or preferences;
  3. Your preferred currency;
  4. Your cookie-consent preferences;
  5. Your learning-session information;
  6. Certain security settings;
  7. Your interaction with particular website features.

Cookies may be session cookies, which normally expire when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them.

3. Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use technologies that perform similar functions, including:

  1. Local storage;
  2. Session storage;
  3. Authentication/session identifiers;
  4. Security tokens;
  5. Pixel technologies;
  6. Device and browser identifiers;
  7. Similar technologies required for website functionality, analytics, security, or service delivery.

For simplicity, this Cookie Policy refers to these technologies collectively as “cookies” unless a distinction is necessary.

4. Why MOCBT Uses Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for legitimate and necessary purposes, including:

4.1 Essential Platform Functionality

Some cookies are necessary for the platform to function.

They may be used to:

  1. Maintain your login session;
  2. Keep you authenticated;
  3. Protect your account;
  4. Maintain shopping or checkout sessions;
  5. Remember security settings;
  6. Prevent fraudulent activity;
  7. Maintain session continuity;
  8. Protect forms and transactions;
  9. Operate the student dashboard;
  10. Operate course-learning functionality.

Without these cookies, certain parts of the LMS may not function correctly.

4.2 Student Account and Authentication

When you log into your MOCBT student account, cookies or similar technologies may be used to maintain your authenticated session.

This may allow you to:

  1. Remain logged in while navigating the LMS;
  2. Access your courses;
  3. Access your dashboard;
  4. View your learning progress;
  5. Access your certificates;
  6. Access your learning reports;
  7. Submit assignments or assessments where applicable;
  8. Use student support features.

These technologies are generally necessary for providing the service you have requested.

4.3 Learning and Course Functionality

MOCBT may use cookies or session technologies to support learning-related functionality.

This may include remembering:

  1. Your current learning session;
  2. Course navigation preferences;
  3. Selected lessons or modules;
  4. Interface preferences;
  5. Learning-plan settings;
  6. Certain temporary learning-state information.

Cookies do not replace the LMS's primary database records used to maintain your official learning progress.

5. Cookie Categories

Depending on how you interact with MOCBT, cookies may fall into the following categories.

5.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation, security, and functionality of the LMS.

They may support:

  1. Login and authentication;
  2. Student sessions;
  3. Administrator sessions;
  4. Security;
  5. CSRF protection;
  6. Payment and checkout sessions;
  7. Cookie-consent preferences;
  8. Website functionality;
  9. Load balancing;
  10. Fraud prevention;
  11. Session management.

Because these cookies are necessary for providing requested services or maintaining security, they may remain active even when you decline optional cookies.

6. Preference and Functional Cookies

These cookies allow MOCBT to remember choices you make so that we can provide a more convenient experience.

For example, they may remember:

  1. Preferred currency;
  2. Language preferences;
  3. Interface preferences;
  4. Previously selected settings;
  5. Cookie-consent preferences;
  6. Certain PWA or installation preferences;
  7. Other functionality choices.

For example, if you manually select USD instead of the automatically detected currency, a preference may be stored so that the LMS remembers your choice.

7. Currency and Location-Related Technologies

MOCBT may use certain technical information, including your IP address or related location information, to determine your approximate country for purposes such as displaying an appropriate currency.

For example:

Nigeria → NGN

United States → USD

United Kingdom → GBP

Eurozone → EUR

The currency system is intended to provide a convenient display of course prices and does not necessarily establish your legal residence, billing address, tax residence, nationality, or identity.

Where you manually select a currency, your selected preference may take priority over automatic country detection.

Currency-related information is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

8. Analytics Cookies

Where analytics services are enabled, MOCBT may use analytics cookies or similar technologies to understand how visitors interact with the platform.

Analytics may help us understand:

  1. Which pages receive the most visits;
  2. How visitors navigate the platform;
  3. Which courses receive interest;
  4. How users interact with features;
  5. Whether pages load correctly;
  6. Where technical problems occur;
  7. General website performance;
  8. General trends in platform usage.

Analytics information may be aggregated or otherwise processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Where required, non-essential analytics cookies will only be activated after obtaining the appropriate consent.

9. Performance and Technical Cookies

We may use cookies or similar technologies to monitor and improve the technical performance of the LMS.

These technologies may help us identify:

  1. Slow pages;
  2. Failed requests;
  3. Technical errors;
  4. Browser compatibility issues;
  5. Device compatibility issues;
  6. Performance problems;
  7. Unexpected application behaviour.

This information helps us improve the reliability and security of the platform.

10. Security Cookies

Security-related cookies and session technologies may be used to protect the platform against malicious activity.

These technologies may assist with:

  1. Authentication;
  2. Session validation;
  3. CSRF protection;
  4. Fraud detection;
  5. Abuse prevention;
  6. Rate limiting;
  7. Suspicious activity detection;
  8. Account protection;
  9. Administrative security.

Security technologies may be necessary even when optional cookies are declined.

11. MOCBT AI Assistant

MOCBT E-LEARNING CONCEPTS provides AI-powered assistance on certain parts of the platform.

Depending on where you interact with the AI Assistant, cookies or similar technologies may be used to maintain an AI session and improve the continuity of your conversation.

Public/Visitor AI

If you use the AI Assistant without logging into a student account, the system may use an anonymous session identifier to maintain your conversation.

This does not mean that MOCBT creates a student account for you.

Student AI

If you are logged into your student account, AI interactions may be associated with your authenticated account where necessary to provide personalised assistance and maintain your conversation history.

Course Learning AI

The AI Assistant available within the learning environment may use authorised course and learning context to provide relevant assistance.

12. AI Conversation Sessions

Where the AI Assistant is available, technical session information may be required to maintain conversation continuity.

For example, an anonymous visitor may receive a randomly generated session identifier.

This may allow the platform to recognise:

“This is the same anonymous visitor session”

without requiring that visitor to create an account.

Such identifiers should not be interpreted as proof of identity.

13. Payment and Transaction Technologies

When you purchase a course or make a payment through MOCBT, certain cookies or session technologies may be necessary to facilitate the transaction.

These may be used for:

  1. Maintaining checkout sessions;
  2. Preventing transaction manipulation;
  3. Connecting a payment session to the correct transaction;
  4. Security;
  5. Fraud prevention;
  6. Payment-provider integration;
  7. Confirming transaction status.

Payments may be processed through third-party payment providers such as Paystack, Flutterwave, NOWPayments, or other providers configured by MOCBT.

Third-party payment providers may use their own cookies or technologies. Their processing is governed by their respective privacy and cookie policies.

MOCBT does not store payment card details in cookies.

14. PWA and App Installation Features

MOCBT may provide Progressive Web App (PWA) functionality.

Cookies or local storage technologies may be used to remember certain information relating to:

  1. Installation prompts;
  2. Installation preferences;
  3. Whether an installation guide has previously been viewed;
  4. Device/interface preferences.

These technologies are intended to improve the PWA experience.

15. Student Learning Preferences

Where applicable, cookies or similar technologies may remember certain non-sensitive preferences related to your use of the LMS.

Examples may include:

  1. Dashboard preferences;
  2. Selected currency;
  3. Interface preferences;
  4. Learning-plan display preferences;
  5. Temporary navigation state;
  6. Dismissed onboarding messages.

Official academic records, course completion records, certificates, payment records, and other account records are maintained through the LMS's backend systems rather than relying solely on cookies.

16. Cookie Consent

When required, MOCBT will provide a cookie-consent mechanism that allows visitors to make choices about applicable non-essential cookies.

The consent interface may provide options such as:

Accept All

Allows applicable optional cookies to be enabled.

Reject Optional Cookies

Disables applicable non-essential cookies.

Manage Preferences

Allows you to select individual categories of optional cookies.

Strictly necessary cookies may remain active because they are required to operate requested services, maintain security, or comply with technical requirements.

NDPC guidance specifically recognises the importance of providing users with an opportunity to accept or decline applicable cookies. (National Drug Policy Committee)

17. Your Cookie Choices

You may be able to control cookies through:

  1. Our cookie-consent banner;
  2. Our Cookie Preferences Centre;
  3. Your browser settings;
  4. Device settings;
  5. Certain third-party service controls.

Where MOCBT provides a Cookie Preferences option, you may return to it and change your preferences.

Changing your cookie settings may affect how certain features of the LMS function.

For example, disabling necessary session technologies may prevent you from:

  1. Logging in;
  2. Completing a transaction;
  3. Accessing certain student features;
  4. Maintaining a secure session.

18. Browser Cookie Controls

Most modern browsers allow you to:

  1. View stored cookies;
  2. Delete cookies;
  3. Block cookies;
  4. Block third-party cookies;
  5. Allow cookies only from selected websites;
  6. Receive warnings when cookies are used.

Please refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions.

Deleting or blocking cookies may cause some MOCBT functionality to stop working correctly.

19. Third-Party Services

MOCBT may use carefully selected third-party service providers to operate and improve the LMS.

Depending on the services currently enabled, these may include providers for:

  1. Payment processing;
  2. Email delivery;
  3. AI services;
  4. Analytics;
  5. Security;
  6. Cloud hosting;
  7. Content delivery;
  8. CAPTCHA or anti-abuse services;
  9. Error monitoring;
  10. Currency exchange-rate services;
  11. Infrastructure and technical support.

Third-party providers may place or access cookies or similar technologies depending on how their services are integrated.

MOCBT does not control the privacy practices of independent third-party websites or services.

You should review the privacy and cookie policies of third-party services where appropriate.

20. Cookies and Personal Data

Not every cookie identifies you personally.

However, certain cookies or identifiers may become associated with personal information when combined with account, device, session, or other information.

Where cookie information constitutes personal data, MOCBT will process it in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection requirements.

Our privacy framework is intended to reflect principles including fairness, lawfulness, transparency, purpose limitation, data minimisation, storage limitation, accuracy, and appropriate security. These principles are reflected in the NDPC's published privacy materials concerning processing under the Nigeria Data Protection Act. (DMC)

21. Data Security

MOCBT takes reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information associated with cookies and related technologies against:

  1. Unauthorised access;
  2. Unauthorised disclosure;
  3. Loss;
  4. Misuse;
  5. Alteration;
  6. Destruction;
  7. Other unlawful processing.

Security measures may include:

  1. HTTPS/TLS encryption;
  2. Secure session management;
  3. Access controls;
  4. Authentication controls;
  5. Server-side validation;
  6. Secure cookie attributes;
  7. Monitoring;
  8. Security updates;
  9. Access logging where appropriate.

However, no internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.

22. Cookie Security Attributes

Where technically appropriate, MOCBT may configure cookies using security attributes such as:

  1. Secure;
  2. HttpOnly;
  3. SameSite.

These measures help reduce certain risks such as cookie interception, cross-site request forgery, and unauthorised client-side access.

The exact configuration may vary depending on the function of the cookie and technical requirements.

23. Cookie Retention

Different cookies may remain on your device for different periods.

Session cookies

These normally expire when your browser session ends.

Persistent cookies

These may remain for a defined period unless you delete them earlier.

The retention period depends on the purpose of the cookie.

MOCBT will seek to avoid retaining cookie-related information longer than reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected or as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law.

29. Your Choices Matter

MOCBT E-LEARNING CONCEPTS is committed to providing a useful, secure, and transparent learning environment.

We use cookies primarily to ensure that the LMS works correctly, protect user accounts, provide requested functionality, remember preferences, improve the platform, and understand how our services are used where appropriate.

Policy Status

Policy Name: Cookie Policy

Platform: MOCBT E-LEARNING CONCEPTS

Parent Brand: MOC Beacon Technologies

Effective Date: 2nd September 2026

Last Updated: 2nd September 2026

Version: 1.0

Recommended implementation in your LMS

I would also recommend that this policy be paired with a proper Cookie Preferences Centre, rather than simply putting “Accept Cookies” on the website. The NDPC's published materials themselves use a consent interface with categories such as Necessary Cookies and Preferences, and provide a mechanism for changing preferences. (National Drug Policy Committee)

For MOCBT, the banner should ideally have:

Cookies on MOCBT E-LEARNING CONCEPTS

We use necessary cookies to operate and secure the LMS. With your permission, we may also use optional cookies to remember preferences and improve our services. You can accept all cookies, reject optional cookies, or manage your preferences.

[Accept All] [Reject Optional] [Manage Preferences]

And the settings panel should contain:

  1. ✅ Necessary — Always Active
  2. ⚙️ Functional / Preferences — On/Off
  3. 📊 Analytics — On/Off
  4. 🤖 AI Session — On/Off where technically/legally appropriate
  5. 💳 Payment/Checkout — Required when using payment services

That would make the Cookie Policy and the actual website implementation consistent rather than having a policy that promises controls the LMS doesn't actually provide.
