We run exactly one cookie. It is almost embarrassingly simple.
The trust does not run advertising, analytics, or third-party trackers on this site. The only thing we store in your browser is a small flag remembering that you have read the cookie notice.
If you only read one box.
- One cookie, stored in your browser's localStorage, remembering that you have dismissed the cookie notice. Key:
mwc-cookie-ack-v1. Value:1. No personal data. - No analytics, no advertising, no social media tracking.
- Third-party font and icon resources are loaded from Google Fonts and Cloudflare CDN; they may set their own caching headers but we set no cookies through them.
- You can clear our cookie at any time by clearing your browser's site data for this domain.
1 · What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small piece of text saved by a website in your browser, used to remember information between visits. The term in this policy also covers similar technologies (localStorage, sessionStorage). The UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) require websites to tell visitors plainly what cookies they use, and to obtain consent for non-essential ones.
2 · The cookies this site uses
| Name | Type | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
mwc-cookie-ack-v1 | Essential (localStorage flag) | Remembers that you have read the cookie notice so it is not shown to you again. | Until you clear your browser data. |
That is the only cookie or local-storage value set by this site.
3 · Cookies we do not use
- Analytics cookies (Google Analytics, Plausible, Fathom, Matomo, etc.) — we do not use any. We have no view of which pages on this site are most read, except by what people tell us.
- Advertising cookies — we do not run advertising on this site.
- Social-media trackers (Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, X / Twitter Pixel, TikTok Pixel) — we do not embed social-media widgets on this site.
- Behavioural cookies (Hotjar, FullStory, etc.) — we do not record visitor sessions or heatmaps.
4 · Third-party services
The site loads two third-party resources from external content delivery networks:
- Google Fonts — used to load the typefaces Lora, Manrope, and JetBrains Mono. Google may set its own cache-related headers; we set no cookies through Google Fonts.
- Cloudflare CDN — used to load the Font Awesome icon set. Cloudflare may set its own cache-related headers; we set no cookies through it.
When you make a donation, your card details are handled by our PCI-DSS-compliant payment processor, which may set its own essential cookies for fraud prevention and payment-session continuity. These are essential to processing the payment and are set only at the moment of donation.
5 · How to clear the cookie
You can clear the mwc-cookie-ack-v1 flag at any time by clearing the site data for marywrenchcharity.org in your browser. Most browsers do this through Settings › Privacy › Clear browsing data › Site data, with marywrenchcharity.org named in the list. The next time you visit the site, the cookie notice will reappear.
6 · Changes to this policy
If we ever add a cookie to this site, we will update this policy first, and the version key (currently v1) will change so that the notice reappears for every visitor on next load.
7 · How to complain
If you are not happy with our use of cookies, please write to us at [email protected] in the first instance. You may also complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk or 0303 123 1113.
