Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Helping Hands of Georgetown, Inc. (“Helping Hands”) uses cookies and similar technologies on helpinghandsgtx.org. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function, remember your preferences, and keep it secure. Similar technologies (such as local storage) work in comparable ways.

How we use cookies

Strictly necessary cookies. These are required for the Site to work and cannot be switched off. They include cookies that remember your cookie-consent choice and those used by Cloudflare Turnstile to protect our forms from spam and abuse.

Functional cookies. If used, these remember basic preferences to improve your experience. They are not used for tracking.

Analytics cookies. We do not currently use analytics cookies. If we add website analytics in the future, we will update this policy and offer a choice through our cookie banner.

Advertising cookies. We do not currently use advertising or social-media tracking cookies. Helping Hands is considering adding a Meta (Facebook) Pixel in the future; if we do, we will update this policy to describe those cookies, enable the advertising category in our consent banner so you can opt in or out, and update our Privacy Policy accordingly.

Third-party cookies

When you make a donation, our donation pages load Givebutter, which may set its own cookies to process your gift securely. Cloudflare may also set cookies for security. These third parties manage their own cookies under their own policies.

Managing your cookies

You can manage non-essential cookies through the consent banner on the Site. You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the Site work.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies changes. The “Effective” date above shows when it was last revised.
