Cookie Policy
Short version
Campus Assistant uses exactly one cookie — an HTTP-only authentication session cookie called campus_session. We use no analytics cookies, no advertising cookies, and no third-party tracking technologies. If you are not logged in, no cookies are set.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They allow the website to remember information about your visit — such as whether you are logged in — across page loads and sessions.
Cookies are governed in Nigeria by the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA) 2023 and the NDPC General Application and Implementation Directive (GAID) 2025. Where cookies involve personal data, they are also subject to our Privacy Policy.
3. What We Do Not Use
- ✓No Analytics cookies: We do not use Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Hotjar, or any other analytics service that sets cookies.
- ✓No Advertising cookies: We do not use Facebook Pixel, Google Ads, or any advertising or retargeting technology.
- ✓No Social media trackers: Social sharing buttons on our site do not set cookies or load third-party scripts without your interaction.
- ✓No Cross-site tracking: We do not fingerprint browsers or use supercookies, ETags, or other persistent identifiers for tracking.
- ✓No Third-party cookies: No third-party service deposits cookies on your device through our Platform.
4. Legal Basis for the Session Cookie
The campus_session cookie is classified as strictly necessary under NDPA 2023 §2.3(b) and the NDPC GAID 2025 §6.2. Strictly necessary cookies do not require prior consent because they are essential to deliver a service explicitly requested by the user (i.e., being logged in).
This cookie is set only when you actively log in or register. It is deleted when you sign out or when the 7-day session expires.
5. Managing & Deleting Cookies
You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that deleting the campus_session cookie will log you out of the Platform. Instructions for common browsers:
Browser interfaces change frequently. Search "[browser name] manage cookies" for up-to-date instructions.
6. If We Ever Add More Cookies
We may introduce additional cookies in future (for example, preference or analytics cookies) only after providing 30 days' advance notice via email and in-app notification, and only after obtaining your explicit consent where required by NDPA 2023. This Cookie Policy will be updated at that time with full details of any new cookies. Our current commitment is to remain cookie-minimal.
