About cookies

A cookie is a small piece of data (text file) that a website – when visited by a user – asks your browser to store on your device in order to remember information about you, such as your language preference or login information. Those cookies are set by us and called first party cookies. We also use third party cookies – which are cookies from a domain different than the domain of the website you are visiting – for our advertising and marketing efforts.

 

How do we use cookies

 

More specifically, we use cookies and other tracking technologies for the following purposes:

  • Assisting you in navigation;
  • Analyzing your use of our social media channels;
  • Assisting with our promotional and marketing efforts (including behavioral advertising)

Our website is hosted on Amazon Web Services. Their cookies notice can be found here: https://aws.amazon.com/legal/cookies/
We also use Cloudfare, a content delivery network. Their cookies policy can be found here: https://www.cloudflare.com/cookie-policy/

This website uses Google Analytics to gather anonymous statistics about visitors to the site and which pages are visited.
We use conversion tracking cookies as part of campaigns in order to analyze trends, gather broad demographic information and monitor website traffic patterns that can help us further develop and improve the design and functionality of our site. Similarly, we also use cookies for “retargeting” in our Internet advertising campaigns so that third party vendors, including Google, can show you advertising about Make-A-Wish as you browse the Internet. Retargeting is a marketing tool that identifies you as a previous visitor to the Make-A-Wish website and targets you for specific outreach messages, encouraging you to revisit our website or consider donating. Any personal information we gather will be kept private and not shared with other organizations. If you prefer, you can usually set your browser to refuse cookies, or to notify you when you receive a new cookie. You can also opt out of receiving cookies on the Make-A-Wish website for Google advertising by visiting the Google advertising opt-out page (http://www.google.com/privacy/ads).
