How Bright Sparks Junior School uses cookies on this website and what that means for you.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to website owners.
Cookies cannot run programs or deliver viruses to your device. Each cookie is unique to your browser and contains anonymous, non-personal information.
The Bright Sparks Junior School website (brightsparksjunior.ac.ug) is a school information website. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking cookies, or any analytics services that collect personal data. Cookies on this site come from two third-party services we embed for your convenience:
We also use localStorage (not a cookie, but a similar browser storage mechanism) to remember that you have acknowledged this cookie notice, so it does not reappear on every visit.
So that we can see which pages are useful and improve the site, we keep a simple count of the pages opened on this website. This is run entirely by the school on its own systems — no advertising or analytics company is involved, and nothing is shared with anyone.
For each page opened we record only: the address of the page, the website you arrived from (if any), whether you are using a phone, tablet or computer, and a randomly generated number that links together the pages of a single visit. That random number is held in sessionStorage and is erased the moment you close the tab.
We do not record your name, your email address, your IP address, or anything else that could identify you, and this counting sets no cookies at all. If your browser is set to send a "Do Not Track" signal, we do not count your visit.
| Cookie / Storage | Set By | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| NID, 1P_JAR, CONSENT | Google Maps | Maps functionality, user preference settings, and security | 6 months – 2 years |
| Google Fonts request | Google Fonts API | Loads web fonts; Google logs the request for service performance | Session / 1 year |
| bsjs_cookies_accepted | This website (localStorage) | Remembers that you have dismissed the cookie notice | Until browser storage is cleared |
