Cookie Policy

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that contain information and are downloaded to your device when you visit a website. They are sent back to the originating website on subsequent visits or to other websites that recognize the cookie. Cookies are essential for websites to recognize a user’s device.

For more information about cookies, visit www.allaboutcookies.org and www.youronlinechoices.eu.

Do we use cookies?

Yes, we do.

Types of cookies

There are two main types of cookies:

  • First-party cookies: These are served directly by the website operator to your computer and are used to recognize your computer when you revisit the site and remember your preferences.
  • Third-party cookies: These are served by service providers on behalf of the website operator and may be used for web analytics or advertising purposes.

Cookies can also be categorized as ‘session cookies’ or ‘persistent cookies.’ Session cookies are automatically removed when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain until they expire. We use both session and persistent cookies.

Categories of cookies we use

  1. Strictly necessary cookies: Essential for users to navigate the website and use its features, e.g., shopping baskets and e-billing.
  2. Performance cookies: Collect information about how users use the site, without identifying individuals.
  3. Functionality cookies: Remember user choices and enhance features like language preferences or font size.
  4. Targeting or advertising cookies: Collect information about users’ browsing habits, which may include interactions with social media sites, to display relevant content elsewhere on the internet. Note that these may be used for remarketing in limited circumstances.

While most of our cookies fall into the first two categories, we also use cookies in categories 3 and 4.

What information do we collect?

We collect information about how people use our website for improvement, and this data is anonymous. You can use our website anonymously without providing any information. The information we may collect includes:

  • Referral sources to our website (e.g., email links or search engines)
  • The type of device and browser you use
  • How you use the website and the quality of your experience

We also use cookies to track the source of donations. For example, we use approach codes in our URLs to understand the effectiveness of our marketing material. Some information may be used by third-party cookies for targeted advertising.
