What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer. They allow information about your visit to be recorded, and enable websites to recognise a user anonymously based on the information stored in the cookie.

Cookies can either be ‘session’ based, where they are deleted after each visit (and are generally used in order for the site to operate), or ‘persistent’, where the cookies last for a longer, defined period.

You can find out more about cookies by referring to this document from the International Chambers of Commerce which outlines the law and the different types of cookies used.

Strictly necessary cookies: These are cookies that are necessary for the operation of our website – for example, cookies that enable you to make a donation via the website.

Performance cookies: In order to make our website more engaging and effective we use cookies to anonymously track user behaviour and demographics on our website. We use tools like Google Analytics which place cookies to help us understand the types of content you may like, to enhance user experience.

Functionality cookies: We also use cookies to recognise you when you return to our website, which enables us to personalise our content for you. For example, we remember which country you are in so that we give you the most relevant content, such as the UK homepage for visitors located in the UK.

Advertising and re-marketing cookies: Effective fundraising is core to our mission of ending the global water crisis and we try to ensure that we get the most from our budgets. To help us do this we use a range of cookies which record your visit to our website and your activity on it to make our advertising more efficient and to track how well our adverts are performing.
