Cookie Policy

Al-Nahda Social Welfare Educational & Charitable Trust — How we use cookies and similar technologies

Effective Date: 27-10-2025. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our website, and your choices regarding cookies.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) by websites you visit. They help sites remember information about your visit, such as language preference, login details, and browsing behaviour.

2. Types of cookies we use

• Strictly Necessary Cookies — Essential for website functionality (e.g., secure sections, donation processing). Without these, certain services may not work.
• Performance & Analytics Cookies — Collect anonymous data about how visitors use the site (pages visited, time spent). We use this to improve site performance and content.
• Functional Cookies — Remember user preferences such as language or form inputs to enhance your experience.
• Advertising / Third-Party Cookies — Used by advertising and social networks to provide relevant ads and measure campaign effectiveness (only if enabled by third parties).

3. How we use cookies

We use cookies to:

• Enable secure donation processing and site features.
• Remember user preferences and settings for a better user experience.
• Measure and analyze site traffic to improve our programs and content.
• Support limited functionality provided by trusted third parties (e.g., analytics or social media embeds).

4. Third-party cookies

Some services on our site (such as Google Analytics, payment gateways, and social media platforms) may set their own cookies when you interact with their content. These third parties have their own cookie and privacy policies — we encourage you to review them directly.

5. Payment & donation cookies

When you donate through our website, the payment gateway may use cookies or session data for secure processing. We do not store full card details on our servers; payment processing follows the payment partner's security practices.

6. Your choices & controlling cookies

You can manage and control cookies in several ways:

• Adjust browser settings to block or delete cookies — refer to your browser help menu (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).
• Use any cookie banner/options provided on our site to accept or decline non-essential cookies.
• Disable third-party cookies via your browser or the third party's opt-out mechanisms (for example Google Analytics opt-out).

Note: Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent some parts of the site (including donation processing) from working properly.

7. How long cookies last

Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period (days to years) to remember preferences and provide analytics data. Specific durations depend on the cookie and service provider.

8. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy periodically. The “Effective Date” above will change to reflect updates. Continued use of the site after updates indicates your acceptance of the revised policy.
