Supervisory authority [Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC)](https://ndpc.gov.ng/) Traffic-light rationale — Red No dedicated adtech/commercial-privacy instrument (cookies, dark patterns, opt-out signals, clean rooms, direct marketing) was confirmed for NG beyond general NDPA consent principles. #### Sub-modules (6) #### Cookies And TrackersRed No dedicated cookie/tracker consent statute identified; general NDPA consent principles apply by extension. Claims (1): - No confirmed NG-specific statutory cookie/tracker consent regime distinct from general NDPA consent principles was located in this research pass. #### Dark PatternsRed No confirmed dark-pattern prohibition specific to NG was located. #### Opt Out SignalsRed No confirmed recognition of technical opt-out signals (e.g., GPC) was located for NG. #### Clean Rooms And DcrRed No confirmed clean-room/data-collaboration-room rules were located for NG. #### Cross Context AdvertisingRed No confirmed cross-context-advertising-specific rule (analogous to CPRA 'sale'/'share') was located for NG. #### Direct MarketingRed No confirmed direct-marketing-specific consent/suppression rule was located for NG beyond general consent principles. Category narrative 57 words The NDPA does not contain a dedicated ePrivacy-style cookie/tracker consent regime, dark-pattern prohibition, opt-out signal recognition, clean-room framework, or direct-marketing suppression rule distinct from its general consent and lawful-basis provisions. NDPC's own website relies on general cookie-consent practices modelled on its statutory lawful-basis framework, but no NG-specific adtech statute or regulation was identified in this research pass.
