Cookie & Privacy Notice

What this site stores, and what we do with it

Cookie & Privacy Notice

This notice explains what this website stores on your device and what we do with it. In short: we use one analytics service to count visits and see which pages are useful, and it is switched off until you accept it. We do not use advertising cookies, we do not sell data, and we do not track you across other websites.

What a cookie is

A cookie is a small file a website asks your browser to keep. Some are needed for a site to work at all; others, like the ones described below, help the owner understand how the site is used. You can delete cookies at any time through your browser settings.

Cookies this site uses

Analytics — only with your consent

CookieSet byPurposeLifetime
_gaGoogle Analytics 4Distinguishes one visitor from another so visits are not double-countedUp to 2 years
_ga_8EFZPH3ZJ5Google Analytics 4Keeps track of a single browsing sessionUp to 2 years

These are set only after you press “Accept cookies”. Until then the analytics tag runs in a restricted mode that stores nothing on your device and does not identify you. If you press “Reject analytics”, they are never set.

Essential — always on

This one is not a tracking cookie and carries no personal information — it stores a single word, accepted or rejected. Without it we would have to ask you on every page.

What the analytics tells us

If you accept, Google Analytics gives us aggregate figures: how many people visited, which pages they read, roughly which country or county they came from, and whether they used a phone or a computer. We use it to answer practical questions — are applicants finding the fee structure, is the admissions page doing its job. We do not receive your name, your email address, or anything that identifies you personally, and your IP address is anonymised before it reaches the reports.

Information you send us directly

  • The enquiry form. The form on our homepage does not send anything to this website. When you press the button it opens WhatsApp or your email programme with the details already written out, and you choose to send it. Nothing is stored on this site.
  • WhatsApp. If you message us on WhatsApp, that conversation is handled by WhatsApp (Meta) under their own privacy terms, and we hold the messages you send us.
  • Email. If you write to any university address, we keep your message so we can answer it and administer your enquiry or application.

Third parties

This site loads Google Analytics from googletagmanager.com. It does not run advertising networks, social media pixels, or embedded trackers. Links to WhatsApp and external websites take you to services with their own privacy policies, which we do not control.

Your rights

Under the Kenya Data Protection Act 2019 you have the right to be told what personal data we hold about you, to ask for it to be corrected or deleted, to object to how we use it, and to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner. If you are in the United Kingdom or the European Union, the UK GDPR and EU GDPR give you equivalent rights.

Changing your mind

You can change your choice at any time using the Cookie settings link at the bottom of every page. You can also delete cookies directly in your browser — look for “Clear browsing data” or “Privacy and security” in its settings.

Contact us about your data

For any question about this notice or about personal data held by the University, write to the Registrar at registrar@kamagambo.ac.ke or use the details on our contact page.

For the University to complete. Before publication, the Registrar should confirm and insert: the name and contact details of the University’s Data Protection Officer; the University’s registration status with the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner; and how long enquiry and application records are retained. The Google Analytics data-retention setting (2 or 14 months) should also be confirmed in the Analytics account and stated above.

Common questions

No. Every page, including admissions and the fee structure, works exactly the same whether you accept or reject. Rejecting only means we cannot count your visit.

No. We do not sell, rent or trade personal data, and this site carries no advertising.

Use the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of any page. The banner reappears and you can accept or reject again.
