Cookie Policy
Effective date: August 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how United Way Bengaluru (“UWBe”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on www.uwbengaluru.org (the “Website”). It should be read alongside our broader privacy practices. By continuing to use the Website after making a choice in the cookie banner, you agree to the use of cookies as described here.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, work more efficiently, and to provide information to the site owners. Similar technologies (such as pixels and local storage) are covered by this policy as well.
2. Cookies We Use
We keep our use of cookies deliberately limited. The Website does not use any cookies of its own for logins, shopping carts, or similar functionality. The only cookies used are set by the analytics tools described below, and only after you accept them via the cookie banner.
| Category | Purpose | Consent required? |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | None currently in use. This is a static informational website with no accounts, carts, or sessions. | N/A |
| Performance & Analytics | Google Analytics (via Google Tag Manager) helps us understand how visitors use the Website — pages viewed, time spent, and general navigation patterns — so we can improve it. | Yes |
| Marketing / Advertising | None currently in use. | N/A |
3. Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services, provided by Google LLC, which may set cookies once you accept analytics cookies:
Google Tag Manager — used to manage the scripts and tags that run on our Website. Google Tag Manager itself does not, by default, collect personal data, but it loads Google Analytics as described below.
Google Analytics (GA4) — used to understand website traffic and usage patterns. Typical cookies include _ga and _ga_*, which help distinguish unique visitors and sessions.
These services are governed by Google’s Privacy Policy. We do not control how Google processes this data beyond the configuration we apply.
4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit the Website, a banner lets you Accept or Decline analytics cookies. Analytics cookies are only set if you click “Accept”; if you click “Decline”, no analytics cookies are set. Your choice is remembered in your browser’s local storage so you are not asked again on the same device and browser.
You can also control or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings, and most browsers let you block cookies from specific sites or all sites. Note that clearing your browser’s storage will reset your saved preference, and you will be asked again on your next visit.
5. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, including if we add new analytics or marketing tools. We will update the effective date above when we do. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
