This Cookie Policy (“Cookie Policy”) describes how KindGive Group Inc. and its affiliates and subsidiaries (collectively “KindGive,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) use cookies and similar technologies when you interact with our websites, websites hosted by us on behalf of our non-profit clients, and mobile apps (collectively, the “Sites”). It also explains your choices regarding our use of cookies. We will refer to the cookies and other technologies identified here collectively as “Cookies” for purposes of this Cookie Policy.
A cookie is a small text file of letters and numbers stored on your browser or device. When you interact with the Sites, we aim to make that experience simple and meaningful. Our Sites use Cookies to distinguish you from other visitors to our Sites. This helps us to provide you with website functionality, understand our visitors, and improve our Sites.
When you visit our Sites, both first-party and third-party Cookies may be placed on your browser or device. First-party Cookies are those placed directly by us or from our website domain. Third-party Cookies are those placed by our vendors or partners, which may include social networking services. Both types of Cookies allow us or our vendors or partners to access information about your device and visit. We use both persistent Cookies and session Cookies. Persistent Cookies stay on your browser until they are deleted or expire. Session Cookies last until you close our Sites or browser.
We use Cookies to collect information about your access to and use of the Sites, including to:
We use Cookies for the following purposes:
We also use pixels, JavaScript tags, and similar tracking technologies on our Sites. Pixels (also known as clear GIFs) are tiny images embedded in a webpage and can be used to place cookies on a browser or device. JavaScript tags are snippets of code that are embedded in a webpage. Both pixels and JavaScript tags require calling a server (a computer that delivers web pages), which provides us or our vendor or partner with information about your device and visit. Similarly, our website and email campaigns use tracking URLs (also known as tracking links), which are used to track the performance of marketing and advertising campaigns across websites and engagement channels. If you use our mobile app, we may also use mobile device identifiers consisting of numbers and letters to recognize your device.
We use web analytics vendors on our Sites, such as those of Google Analytics, to help us analyze how users use the Sites, including by noting the website from which you arrive, and providing certain features to you including Google Signal features such as user ID tracking, dynamic remarketing, interest-based advertising, audience targeting, behavioral reporting, demographics and interests reporting, user segment analysis, device reporting, display advertising, and video ads reporting. The information collected by the technology will be disclosed to or collected directly by these vendors, who use the information to evaluate your use of the Sites. This may result in you seeing advertisements for our Sites when you visit other websites. To limit Google Analytics from using your information for analytics, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. You can also adjust your advertising settings by clicking here.
You may choose to disable Cookies we use that are not essential. If you disable or opt out of our use of Cookies, some or all of our Sites may not work as intended.
Some web and mobile device browsers automatically accept Cookies but, if you prefer, you can change your browser to prevent that or to notify you each time a cookie is set.
Depending on your location, you may receive a cookie notification when you first visit our Sites. By clicking “Accept” or “Okay” in that notification, you consent to the use of all cookies described there. Where applicable, you may also choose to “Reject” cookies, which will disable all non-necessary cookies. You can change these choices at any time using our cookie preferences tool. If you do not see a notification, you consent to the use of cookies and similar technologies for the purposes described in this Cookie Policy by continuing to visit or use our Sites.
You can also consult the “Help” section of your browser for more information (e.g., Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Apple Safari). The Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) and Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) offer tools for you to choose whether participating third parties may use your information for targeted advertising. To opt out of such use by such third parties, visit the DAA AdChoices Tool and the NAI Consumer Opt-Out Tool. For European Economic Area (EEA) and United Kingdom users, visit youronlinechoices.eu. For Canadian users, visit youradchoices.ca/en/tools. In connection with Cookies operated by social networking services, you can visit your settings with each of the social networking services to exercise your choice about those technologies.
We do not control any of the above third-party mechanisms or opt-out links and are not responsible for any choices you make using these mechanisms or the continued availability or accuracy of these mechanisms. If your browsers are configured to reject Cookies when you visit these opt-out pages, or you subsequently erase your Cookies, use a different computer, or change web browsers, your opt-out may no longer be effective.
Some mobile operating systems (e.g., Android and iOS) allow you to delete or opt out of using your mobile advertising identifier for certain advertising activities or related purposes. You can generally find information on device identifier choices in your mobile operating system menu under “Settings” > “Privacy” or a similar option on your mobile device. If you are accessing our services through a mobile device, you can also update your privacy settings on your device by setting the “Limit Ad Tracking” and Diagnostics and Usage setting property located in the settings screen of your Apple iPhone or iPad, or by resetting your Android ID through apps that are available in the Play Store. You can also limit information collection by uninstalling the App on your device and you can use the standard uninstall process available as part of your device for this purpose.
Please note that because these opt-out mechanisms are specific to the device or browser on which they are exercised, you will need to opt out on every browser and device that you use.
Depending on applicable law, you may be able to disable cookies for functionality, analytics, and/or advertising in your cookie preferences here.
