Friends of the Cancer Centre – Cookie Policy<\/h2>

What are cookies?<\/strong><\/p>

Cookies are very small text files which store very small amounts of information. They are used to remember settings and preferences between visits to the site, as well as information between different pages on the same site.<\/p>

For security reasons, cookies can only be read by the site that set them. We have no access to cookies set on your computer by, for example, Google, Yahoo, Microsoft or any other website on the internet. To find out more about cookies, you might find the following link useful: Wikipedia: HTTP Cookies.<\/p>

How do we use cookies?<\/strong><\/p>

Currently, there are four types of cookies that may be generated as you browse our site: session cookies, persistent cookies, analytics cookies and performance cookies.<\/p>

Session Cookies<\/strong><\/p>

As you move through the site, various pieces of information need to be stored in order for the site to function properly<\/p>

This information is stored in a database and is referred to as a session. We set one cookie to keep track of which session you are using. Old session data is automatically deleted from our databases multiple times a day, so we do not store this information long-term.<\/p>

In addition to the session cookie, we sometimes set a cookie to check if we can set cookies on your computer. This is done for diagnostic purposes when you use our contact form. We use this information to help solve any problems you may have encountered.<\/p>

How do I control session cookies?<\/strong><\/p>

You can use your browser settings to control whether or not we set session cookies. More information on your browser settings is provided at the bottom of this page.<\/p>

Persistent Cookies<\/strong><\/p>

Also called permanent cookies, or stored cookies, persistent cookies are stored on a user\u2019s hard drive until they expire (persistent cookies are set with expiration dates) or until the user deletes the cookie. Persistent cookies are used to collect identifying information about the user, such as browsing behaviour or user preferences for a specific website. We use a number of persistent cookies in conjunction with Wistia video player to support video functionality and remember video playback positions.<\/p>

Analytics Cookies<\/strong><\/p>

In order to monitor how our sites are performing, we collect data about page visits. This information is completely anonymous \u2014 we cannot determine who it came from. When we use this data, we look at numbers of visitors overall rather than individual visits.<\/p>

Analytics information is used in reports and to improve our site. For example, we have used analytics data to add, remove or change features of the site based on how popular they are with users.<\/p>
