As with most websites, when you visit this website a small piece of information is stored on your phone, tablet or computer hard drive. This information is collected using cookies, web beacons and other similar technologies. The term cookie is used broadly in this policy and includes other technologies of this type, such as local storage. Cookies help our site work and provide us with information about how users interact with our site. We use this information to improve the way our site works. We do not use the information to identify individual visitors unless they voluntarily provide their contact details through one of the forms or requests on our website.

Cookies. There are different types of cookies with different functions that make the website easier to use. We use cookies to tell us if you have visited our site before or to remember your preferences when you use it. For example, the language you have chosen will be stored in a cookie so that it is automatically selected when you return to the site. We never use cookies for advertising purposes.

The types of cookies used on this website can be classified into three categories:

1. Strictly necessary cookies. These are essential for you to be able to use certain features of the site, such as logging in or submitting forms. Without these cookies, we would not be able to provide you with services you may wish to ask for, such as making online donations. This category also includes cookies that allow us to provide services you have specifically requested when you enter the site. Cookies of this type do not store personal information that could be used for marketing purposes or record where you have visited on the Internet.

2. Functionality cookies. These allow choices you have made (such as your user name, language or location) to be remembered and enable advanced features to be provided on the site that improve your experience.

3. Analytics cookies. These collect information about how visitors use this site. For example, they count the number of visits and the average duration of each visit. This information is only used to improve the way the site works.

Most cookies are first-party cookies, meaning they come from our website. Some are third-party cookies, meaning they come from other websites. We clearly identify third-party cookies in our lists of cookie examples.

Web beacons. Our pages may contain small electronic files known as web beacons. These allow us to keep track of certain activities (for example, when a page is visited) and to track site usage and performance.

IP addresses. An IP address is a numerical code that is used to identify your computer on the Internet. We use your IP address and information about the type of browser you use to analyze usage patterns, detect problems with the site, and improve the service. However, unless any other information is added, your IP address does not personally identify you.

Your choice. When you visit our website, our cookies are sent to your Internet browser and stored on your computer. By using our website, you agree to the use of cookies and other similar technologies. If you wish to disable or delete them, you can do so from your browser’s settings. Please note, however, that without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of all the features of our website. Each browser has a different way of deleting cookies.
