Cookie Policy
This policy explains what cookies are, which cookies The Kerio Valley University College (KVUC) website uses and how you can manage your choices.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer, phone or tablet when you visit it. They allow the website to remember information about your visit, such as keeping you signed in or remembering your preferences.
2. Cookies We Use
The KVUC website uses the essential cookies it needs to work securely, plus one cookie that remembers the language you choose. None of them track you across other websites or are used for advertising.
| Cookie | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
kvuc-session |
Keeps your session working as you move between pages, for example while completing an application or signing in. | Essential | 120 minutes |
XSRF-TOKEN |
Protects forms (applications, enquiries, feedback) against cross-site request forgery. | Essential | 120 minutes |
remember_web_… |
Keeps you signed in, only if you tick “Remember me” when signing in. | Essential (optional) | Until you sign out |
kvuc_cookie_consent |
Remembers the choice you made in the cookie banner so it is not shown on every page. | Essential | 12 months |
googtrans |
Remembers the language you picked in the language menu, so the next pages are translated too. Only set when you choose a language other than English, and removed when you switch back to English. | Functional | 12 months |
3. Translation, Videos, Maps and Chat
Translation. The language menu uses Google Translate. Nothing is loaded from Google until you choose a language. When you do, the text of the page is sent to Google to be translated, and Google may set its own cookies. See Google's Privacy Policy.
Videos. Video stories on this website are
played through YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode
(youtube-nocookie.com), which does not set
cookies until you press play. Links to videos on YouTube
or Facebook open those websites, which have their own
cookie policies.
Maps. The maps on the Location and Virtual Tour pages are provided by Google Maps, which may set its own cookies when the map loads.
Ask KVUC. The questions you type into the Ask KVUC chat are sent to the KVUC website to find an answer. Please do not type personal information such as ID or phone numbers into the chat.
4. Settings Saved in Your Browser
Two features save settings in your browser's storage rather than in cookies. This information stays on your device and is not sent to KVUC.
| Name | Purpose | Kept until |
|---|---|---|
kvuc-a11y |
Your accessibility options, such as text size and contrast. | You press “Reset all” or clear your browser data |
kvuc-assistant |
Your Ask KVUC conversation, so it is still there when you open another page. | You close the browser tab |
5. Analytics Cookies
KVUC may in future use website analytics (such as Google Analytics) to understand how the website is used and to improve it. Analytics cookies are only set if you choose “Accept all” in the cookie banner. If you choose “Essential only”, no analytics cookies are set.
6. Managing Your Cookie Choices
You can change your choice at any time using the button below or the “Cookie Settings” link at the bottom of every page.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block essential cookies, parts of the website — such as online applications, sign-in and contact forms — may not work.
7. More Information
For how KVUC handles personal information, please read our Privacy Policy. Questions about this policy can be sent through the Contact page.
