Cookies Policy

1. About this policy

This Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies we use on survivechildabuse.com, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

2. 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 make them work more efficiently, and to provide information to the site owner. Similar technologies — such as pixels, local storage, and tags — work in similar ways. In this policy, references to “cookies” include those technologies.

3. The cookies we use

The cookies on this website fall into the categories below.

A full list of cookies actually set on the site is available through our cookie consent banner and in your browser’s developer tools. We update this policy when we change the cookies we use.

4. Third-party cookies

Some cookies on the site may be set by third parties whose services we use. The site runs on WordPress (our CMS). Our analytics tool is Koko Analytics, which, as noted above, sets no cookies. On the donation page, Stripe, Inc. (via Paymattic) may set strictly necessary payment-processing cookies. Each third party has its own privacy and cookies policy. We list current third-party processors in our Privacy Policy and can provide further detail on request.

5. Consent

When you first visit survivechildabuse.com, you will see a cookie banner. You may accept all cookies, accept only strictly necessary cookies, or choose categories. We will not set non-essential cookies until you give consent. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the “Cookie settings” link in our footer.

Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent because they are needed to make the site work; we still tell you about them here.

6. Managing cookies in your browser

You can also control cookies at the browser level. Most browsers allow you to block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, delete cookies on closing the browser, or be alerted when a cookie is set. Each browser is different — see your browser’s Help menu, or visit aboutcookies.org for general guidance.

Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site from working as intended.

7. Do Not Track signals

Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. Because there is no industry consensus on how DNT signals should be handled, we do not currently respond to them. Our cookie banner gives you full control over non-essential cookies regardless of any browser DNT setting.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time. The current version is shown at the top of this page. We will notify users of material changes by a prominent notice on survivechildabuse.com.
