Cookie Policy

In effectLast updated 18 September 2026•v1.8•

This Cookie Policy explains in simple words what cookies are and how School Manager Uganda uses them on our website, teacher dashboards, and parent portals.

A cookie is simply a tiny memory file that our website saves in your phone or computer browser so you don't have to keep typing your password every time you click a page.

We have a very strict rule: We do NOT use advertising cookies, and we do not track what you do on other websites. Our cookies are only used to keep your school login secure and save your preferences.

1.What Are Cookies?

When you visit a website using your phone or laptop, the site saves a small memory file called a 'cookie' on your browser.

These small files help the website remember that you are logged in as a teacher or bursar, so you don't get logged out while entering marks or checking fees. They make using the school portal fast and reliable, even on slow internet connections.

2.The Cookies We Use on School Manager Uganda

We only use cookies that are necessary to run the school system properly:

A. Login & Security Cookies (Necessary)

•Keeps your account securely signed in so you can work without interruption.
•Remembers which school portal you belong to, ensuring you only see your school's data.
•Protects your account from unauthorized access and online attacks.

B. Preference Cookies (Helpful)

•Remembers if you prefer Dark Mode or Light Mode on your screen.
•Remembers whether your side menu is open or closed, so you have more screen space when entering marks on a laptop.
•Remembers the current Term and Academic Year you selected on your dashboard.

C. Performance & Speed Checks

•Measures how fast pages load over Ugandan internet (MTN, Airtel, or fiber), helping our engineers fix slow loading times in rural or low-network areas.
•Zero Advertising Trackers: We completely reject advertising cookies from Facebook, Google Ads, TikTok, or tracking brokers. You will never see commercial ads on your school portal.

3.How to Control or Turn Off Cookies

You can turn off cookies in your browser settings (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge) on your phone or computer at any time.

Please note: Because our system uses cookies to remember your login and protect your school records, turning off all cookies will prevent you from signing in to your teacher, bursar, or headteacher account.

4.Updates to This Cookie Policy

If we ever improve how the system saves your preferences or changes how cookies work, we will update this page and notify school administrators through the portal.
