This page explains the small files and stored settings that this website and the school portal keep on your device, and what each one is for.
We use no advertising cookies and no third-party trackers. Nobody is following you around the internet from this site. Everything below exists to make the portal work or to remember a choice you made.
1. What these things are
"Cookies" are small files a website stores in your browser. Modern browsers also give sites two similar stores, local storage and IndexedDB. Our portal uses all three; we treat them the same way in this policy.
2. What we store, and why
Strictly necessary — these cannot be turned off
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
| firebase:authUser:… | Google Firebase | Keeps you signed in, so a refresh does not throw you back to the login page | Until you sign out |
| firebaseLocalStorageDb | Google Firebase | The sign-in token store behind the item above | Until you sign out |
| firestore/… (IndexedDB) | Google Firebase | An offline copy of the records you have already opened, so the portal keeps working when the network drops — important on a slow connection | Until you sign out or clear your browser |
Preferences — these remember a choice you made
| Name | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|
| ghs.lang | The language you picked — English, Yoruba, Igbo or Hausa | 1 year |
| ghs.voice | Whether spoken guidance is switched on | 1 year |
| ghs.teacherWeek | For teachers: the week of term your lesson notes were last showing | 1 year |
| ghs-cookie-choice | Records that you answered the cookie notice, so we stop asking | 1 year |
3. Your choice
The first time you visit we show a short notice. Accepting lets us keep the preference items above. Declining means we keep only the strictly necessary items — the portal still works, but it will not remember your language or voice setting between visits, and it will ask again after a year.
You can change your mind at any time using the button below.
4. Turning them off in your browser
Every browser lets you block or clear this storage in its settings, usually under "Privacy" or "Site data". Be aware that blocking it entirely will sign you out of the portal and stop it working offline.
5. Third parties
Two outside services can set storage when their content loads:
- Google Firebase — sign-in and the database, as described above.
- Google Fonts — loads the typefaces used on these pages. It does not set cookies, though the request reaches Google's servers.
6. More
How we handle personal information generally is set out in our Privacy Policy.
