Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how GiveThx, Inc. (“GiveThx”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at www.givethx.org or any other site, application or interactive service to which we post this Cookie Policy (the “Services”).
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer when you visit a site. Cookies serve different purposes, like helping us understand how a site is being used, letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences and generally improving your browsing experience.
Who places cookies on my device?
Cookies set by the site you visit are called “first-party cookies”. Cookies set by parties other than us are called “third-party cookies”. Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality within the site, such as site analytics, and social media features. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer or device both when it visits the site in question and also when it visits certain other sites and/or mobile apps. We do not control how these third parties use your information, which is subject to their own privacy policies. See below for details on use of third-party cookies and similar technologies with our Sites.
How long will cookies stay on my device?
The length of time a cookie will stay on your device depends on whether it is a “persistent” or “session” cookie. Session cookies will only stay on your device until you stop browsing. Persistent cookies stay on your browsing device after you have finished browsing until they expire or are deleted.
What other tracking technologies should I know about?
Cookies are not the only way to track visitors to a site or app. Companies use tiny graphics files with unique identifiers called beacons (and also “pixels” or “clear gifs”) to recognize when someone visits its sites. These technologies often depend on cookies to function properly, and so disabling cookies may impair their functioning.
What types of cookies and similar tracking technologies does GiveThx use?
We use cookies and other tracking technologies in the following categories described below.
Analytics
Description - These cookies help us understand how our Sites are performing and being used. These cookies may work with clear gifs included in emails we send to track which emails are opened and which links are clicked by recipients.
Who serves the cookies - Google Analytics
How to control them - See ‘your choices’ below. Google Analytics uses its own cookies. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the Sites (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the Sites, compiling reports on Sites activity for operators of the Sites and providing other services relating to Sites activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. Your IP address is recorded, but immediately pseudonymized meaning that only a rough localization is possible.
