Cookies Policy

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that is transferred from a website to your computer, phone or tablet. It allows information to be passed back and forth between your device and our website. Cookies allow websites to recognise that a user on an individual computer has previously visited the site. The cookies save some information such as a site name and a unique user ID (your IP address) when they access the site again in the future.

  • We don’t use cookies to identify users personally. We only store information that you’ve specifically given us permission to store.
  • Our cookies do not store financial information or information which is capable of directly identifying you (such as your name or address). You can exercise this right by amending or setting the controls on your browser to reflect your cookie preferences.
  • We use cookies to monitor how people use our website so we can improve it, collect anonymous data and measure the effectiveness of our campaigns. This helps us keep track of whether you’ve visited our website from a particular link – for example in one of our emails or adverts. We do this so we can link donations back to individual communications and measure how effective they are.

What cookies does this website use?

  • Strictly necessary cookies: These are cookies that are essential to make a website work and enable features that users have specifically asked for. Without use of cookies, these features of the website could not operate.
  • Performance cookies: These cookies collect anonymous information about users for the purpose of assessing the performance of a website. Common uses include well-known web analytics tools such as Google Analytics.
  • Statistic cookies: These cookies help website owners to understand how visitors interact with websites by collecting and reporting information anonymously.
  • Marketing cookies: These cookies are used to track visitors across websites and are similar to performance cookies, in that they collect information about users’ behaviour. The intention is to display ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user and thereby more valuable for publishers and third party advertisers.
