2. How We Use Cookies

We use the following types of cookies:

• Essential Cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our website. For example, they allow you to log into secure areas of the website (such as the member portal) and ensure the security of our platform.
• Performance and Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our website is being used or how effective our advocacy campaigns are. This helps us improve the user experience and ensure our resources are reaching the community effectively.

3. Third-Party Cookies

For example, we may use Google Analytics to help us understand how you use the site and ways that we can improve your experience. These cookies may track things such as how long you spend on the site and the pages that you visit so we can continue to produce engaging content.

When processing donations or membership dues, our secure payment gateway providers may also utilize cookies to safely process transactions and prevent fraud.
