How we use cookies

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to work more efficiently, and to provide information to the owners of the site.

Cookies do not give us access to your computer or any information about you other than the data you choose to share with us.

How we use cookies

We use cookies to ensure the website functions correctly, to process donations securely, and — where you have given consent — to understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it.

We do not use cookies to collect personally identifiable information beyond what is necessary for the purposes described below.

Types of cookies we use

The table below sets out the specific cookies and services used on this website.

Essential cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. They cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences or filling in forms.

Without these cookies, services you have asked for — such as processing a donation — cannot be provided.

Payment cookies (Stripe)

When you make a donation, you are redirected to a secure payment page operated by Stripe, Inc. Stripe sets its own cookies to prevent fraud, process your payment securely, and comply with financial regulations. These cookies are set by Stripe and are governed by Stripe's own privacy and cookie policies.

We do not have access to your full card details at any point. Stripe is certified to PCI DSS Level 1, the highest level of payment security certification.

Analytics cookies

This website uses a platform analytics service (GoDaddy Signals / C2) to help us understand how visitors interact with our site — for example, which pages are visited and which links are clicked. The analytics script loads on all pages; however, click-level event data is only collected where you have given your consent.

If you decline cookies, click events are not recorded. If you accept, anonymised interaction data is collected to help us improve the site. This data does not identify you personally and is not shared with third parties for marketing purposes.

Your consent choice is stored in your browser's local storage for 365 days. You can change your preference at any time using the 'Manage preferences' button on this page.

Managing cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete cookies already stored on your device, or be notified when a cookie is set.

Please be aware that restricting cookies may affect the functionality of this website. In particular, disabling essential cookies may prevent you from completing a donation.

For guidance on managing cookies in your browser, visit www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to check this page periodically.
