2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, giftsoli.org) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).

3. Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Website. Third parties may also serve cookies through our Website for analytics and other purposes.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our Website but are non-essential to their use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality may become unavailable.

6.3 Do Not Track

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. Currently, there is no uniform way that websites and online services respond to these signals. Therefore, our Website does not currently respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals.

7. Regional Privacy Regulations

In compliance with various regional privacy regulations, including GDPR (Europe), CCPA (California, USA), and PIPEDA (Canada), we make every effort to ensure our cookie usage complies with these requirements.
