1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the website function properly, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it.
This policy explains what cookies aafsoug.org uses, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
2.1 Essential Cookies These are necessary for the Site to function — for example, enabling secure browsing, remembering items in a donation checkout process, and basic site navigation. The Site cannot function properly without these, so they cannot be switched off.
2.2 Analytics Cookies We use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics, if enabled) to understand how visitors use the Site — which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, and how they arrived at the Site. This helps us improve the Site’s content and structure. Data collected is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
2.3 Functional Cookies These remember choices you’ve made (such as language preference) to provide a more personalised experience on return visits.
2.4 Third-Party Cookies Some pages may include content from third parties (such as embedded YouTube videos or donation/payment processing tools), which may set their own cookies. We do not control these cookies — please refer to the relevant third party’s own cookie or privacy policy for details.
3. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Most browsers allow you to:
- View what cookies are stored and delete them individually
- Block third-party cookies
- Block cookies from specific sites
- Block all cookies
- Delete all cookies when you close your browser
Please note that blocking essential cookies may affect the functionality of the Site, including your ability to complete a donation or submit a form.
If a cookie-consent banner is active on the Site, you can also update your preferences at any time by [reopening the cookie preference tool / clicking “Cookie Settings” in the footer — update this line to match your actual setup].
4. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal/regulatory reasons. Please check back periodically. The “Last updated” date above reflects the most recent revision.
