Last updated: June 2025

This Cookie Policy applies to the website of Fountain Gate Church — Uhai Centre Church, Kiambu (“we”, “us”, “our”), located at Rockline Area, opposite Radiant Hospital, Kiambu Town, Kiambu County, Kenya. You can reach us at info@uhaicentre.church.
2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website saves on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work correctly, remember your preferences, and provide information to site owners about how their site is used.
We also use browser local storage (a similar technology) to save your cookie preferences between visits.
3. Cookies we use
We use two categories of cookies. Necessary cookies are always active. Analytics cookies are only set if you give your consent.
| Cookie name | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Keeps admin users securely signed in. Set only when logging into the admin area. | 30 days (or session) | |
| Necessary | Security token that prevents cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks during login. | Session | |
| Necessary | Stores your cookie consent preferences (saved in browser local storage, not a traditional cookie). | Until cleared | |
| Analytics | Google Analytics — distinguishes unique visitors. Only set if you accept analytics cookies. | 2 years | |
| Analytics | Google Analytics 4 — maintains session state and tracks page views. Only set if you accept analytics cookies. | 2 years |
reCAPTCHA: Our newsletter subscribe form uses Google reCAPTCHA v2 to prevent spam. reCAPTCHA may store a session value in your browser to verify you are not a bot. This is a security measure and is not used for tracking. See Google's Privacy Policy for details.
4. Third-party services
We embed YouTube videos (sermons and podcasts) on some pages. YouTube may set its own cookies when you interact with an embedded player. These are governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
We do not use advertising cookies, social media tracking pixels, or sell any personal data. We do not use cookies for commercial profiling.
5. Managing your preferences
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the button below. Your choice is saved in your browser — if you clear your browser data, the banner will reappear.
You can also manage cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or be notified when cookies are set. Refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions.
To opt out of Google Analytics across all websites, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
6. Legal basis
We operate in accordance with the Kenya Data Protection Act, 2019. We process necessary cookies on the basis of legitimate interests (keeping the site secure and functional). Analytics cookies are processed only on the basis of your explicit consent.
If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we rely on the same legal bases under GDPR / UK GDPR: legitimate interests for strictly necessary cookies, and consent for analytics.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of the page will always reflect the most recent revision. Significant changes will be noted with a new consent prompt.
