Last updated: November 3, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how the Tom Nthiwa Foundation uses cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage and pixels) on our website, and how you can control them.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. They help websites remember your actions and preferences over time. Some are deleted when you close your browser (session cookies); others remain for a set period (persistent cookies).
2. Types of Cookies We Use
| Category | Purpose | Examples | Duration | Consent |

3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by third parties whose services we use — for example, Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or payment providers. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review.
4. Managing Cookies
You can control cookies in several ways:
- Browser settings — most browsers let you block or delete cookies. See your browser's help pages for instructions.
- Opt-out tools — for analytics, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
- Our consent banner — where shown, use the banner to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your choice at any time by clearing your browser storage and reloading the site.
Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may break parts of the site (such as form submission or secure sessions).
5. Do Not Track
Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" signal. We currently do not respond to these signals, but you can still control cookies through the methods above.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies evolves. Changes will be posted here with a revised "Last updated" date.
