This Cookie Policy explains how Hope Against Trafficking (“Hope,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on hopeagainsttrafficking.org. Please also read our Privacy Policy for information about how we handle personal information.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your browser or device when you visit a website. They help websites remember information between visits or page views. Similar technologies include pixels, tags, and browser storage that can record interactions or remember preferences. A pixel may send information to a provider even if it does not store a cookie.

First-party cookies are set by the website you visit. Third-party cookies are set by another provider whose features appear on the website. Session cookies generally last for a browsing session; persistent cookies remain until they expire or you delete them.

How technologies are used on this website

  • Essential website and store functions: WordPress, WooCommerce, and hosting or security services can use cookies to support sign-in, account sessions, shopping carts, checkout, security, and reliable site operation.
  • Preferences: cookies or browser storage may remember choices made through site features or cookie controls.
  • Analytics: the site includes Google Site Kit, an integration for Google services. Where analytics services are enabled, their tags or cookies may collect information such as pages viewed, referring websites, browser or device details, and interactions to help measure website use.
  • Outreach and advertising: the site includes Meta/Facebook Pixel and Facebook for WooCommerce integrations. These technologies may transmit browsing and interaction information to Meta to measure campaigns, build audiences, and support relevant advertising. Meta may associate that activity with information it holds, including account information.
  • Embedded content and external services: Vimeo videos, the Apricot program intake form, and other third-party features may use their own cookies or similar technologies when loaded or used. Donation links lead to Kindful, and payment or other linked services may use cookies on their own websites.

The cookies and technologies you encounter depend on the pages you visit, the features you use, your browser settings, and which services are enabled. Not every technology listed above runs on every page. This policy describes categories and purposes rather than a complete real-time inventory of cookie names or expiration dates.

Information collected

These technologies may collect online identifiers, IP addresses, browser and device details, referring URLs, pages visited, approximate location, and interactions such as viewing a page or using store features. Providers may combine this information with other data under their own privacy policies.

Your choices

  • Website controls: use any cookie preference controls displayed on the website to manage the choices they offer.
  • Browser settings: most browsers let you view, delete, or block cookies, including third-party cookies. Check your browser’s privacy settings or help menu. You may need to adjust settings separately on each browser and device. Deleting cookies may also remove saved preferences.
  • Provider controls: review Google My Ad Center and your Meta account’s advertising settings to manage relevant advertising preferences. Google also offers a Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on for supported browsers.

Blocking some cookies may prevent sign-in, shopping carts, checkout, or other features from working properly. Cookie settings and advertising choices do not necessarily stop all tracking, pixels, server logs, or advertisements. This policy does not itself change your browser settings or activate a consent control.

Third-party information

For details about third-party practices, see Google’s cookie information, Meta’s Cookies Policy, and Vimeo’s Privacy Policy. Review the privacy and cookie notices of donation, payment, and application services when you use them.
