Cookie Policy

Last updated: August 2026

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how Alawi Foundation, a U.S. nonprofit organization identified by EIN 42-2318635, uses them, and how you can control them. It applies to alawifoundation.co and any related services.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device. They let a site remember your preferences and understand how visitors use the site. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, and SDKs.

2. How we use cookies

We use cookies to:

• Maintain security during hosted checkout.
• Remember contribution choices, language and region, and temporary support-request progress.
• Detect and prevent abuse of the platform.
• Measure how the platform is used so we can improve it.

3. Types of cookies we set

• Strictly necessary: required for core functions such as security, donation checkout, abuse prevention, and submission continuity.
• Functional: remember your language, region, and accessibility preferences.
• Analytics: help us understand which pages perform well and where users get stuck. We use aggregated, de-identified data.
• Measurement and marketing: where used and permitted, these store advertising click and browser identifiers so we can understand whether communications or ads lead to visits and confirmed contributions, including through server-side conversion measurement.

4. Third-party cookies

Payment, security, analytics, and audience-measurement providers may set or read cookies and similar technologies when their services are used. Their handling of information is also governed by their own privacy notices. We limit providers to the role they perform for the Platform.

5. Managing your cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block, delete, or be notified about cookies. If you block strictly necessary cookies, parts of the platform (especially donation forms) may not work properly.

6. Do Not Track

We honor the "Do Not Track" signal where technically feasible. When detected, we disable analytics cookies and only set strictly necessary ones.

7. Changes

We may update this Cookie Policy as our practices evolve. The "Last updated" date above will reflect the most recent revision.
