Cookie Policy
Last updated: 3 August 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how cancerhopehub ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our Website. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and the choices you have. By using our Website, you agree to our use of cookies as described here, except for cookies that require your consent, which we will only use where you have agreed.
## 1. What Are Cookies
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your browser or device when you visit. Cookies help websites work properly, remember your preferences, keep you secure, and understand how visitors use the site. We may also use similar technologies such as pixels and tags, which work in a similar way. In this policy, we refer to all of these simply as "cookies".
Some cookies are "first-party" cookies, set by cancerhopehub itself. Others may be "third-party" cookies, set by services we use, such as our payment processor or analytics tools. Some cookies last only for your current visit ("session cookies") and are deleted when you close your browser, while others stay on your device for longer ("persistent cookies") until they expire or you delete them.
## 2. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
Essential cookies: These are necessary for the Website to work. They allow you to move around the site, log into the admin area, complete forms, make donations securely through PayPal, and keep the site safe. Without these cookies, parts of the Website will not work properly. These cookies cannot be switched off.
Functional cookies: These help the Website remember choices you make, such as your language preference, so we can give you a better experience.
Analytics cookies: These help us understand how visitors use the Website — for example, which pages are visited and how people arrive at the site — so that we can improve it. This information is used in a general way and helps us make the site better for everyone.
## 3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies may be set by third parties whose services appear on our Website. For example, when you make a donation, our payment processor PayPal may set cookies to process your payment securely and to help prevent fraud. If we embed content such as a video, the provider of that content (for example, a video platform) may also set cookies. These third parties handle any information they collect under their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to read.
## 4. Managing Your Cookies
Most web browsers accept cookies automatically, but you can usually change your browser settings to refuse cookies or to alert you when a cookie is being set. You can also delete cookies that are already on your device. Please note that if you block or delete essential cookies, some parts of the Website — including donating — may not work as intended.
To manage cookies, look in the "Settings", "Preferences", or "Privacy" section of your browser. Each browser is a little different, so check your browser's help pages for instructions.
## 5. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time as our Website and the technologies we use change. When we do, we will post the new version on this page with a new "Last updated" date.
