02Categories of Cookies We Use
| Category | Purpose | Can be disabled? |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Keep you signed in to MyWND, remember your cookie preferences, and keep the site secure and working as intended. | No — required for the site and MyWND to function. |
| Functional / Preferences | Remember your language and display preferences. | Yes. |
| Analytics / Performance | Understand, in aggregate, how visitors use worldngoday.org and MyWND, so we can improve them. | Yes. |
| Marketing | Currently minimal or unused; reserved for measuring the reach of World NGO Day awareness campaigns, should we introduce this in future. | Yes. |
| Third-Party / Payment | Set by Stripe, PayPal and other official donation processors while you are completing a gift, and by any embedded third-party content (such as videos) you choose to load. | Managed by the third party; declining may limit that feature. |
03Similar Technologies
We may also use similar technologies such as local storage, which our Cookie Settings page uses to remember your saved preferences directly in your browser, and pixel tags in emails to understand whether a newsletter was opened (only where you've opted in to receive updates).
04Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can choose which non-essential categories of cookies to allow at any time on our Cookie Settings page. You can also control cookies through your browser settings — most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies, though doing so may affect how parts of worldngoday.org or MyWND work, including staying signed in.
05Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example when we add a new analytics or payment provider. We will update the "last updated" date above when we do.
06Contact Us
Questions about this Cookie Policy should be directed to the Global Council via the official World NGO Day LinkedIn page, or via MyWND Support if you already have an account. We never request payments or personal financial information through any other channel.
