Coastal Nonprofit Consulting ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website (https://www.coastalnonprofit.com/) to improve performance, enhance your browsing experience, and analyze site traffic.
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting (in this case, Coastal Nonprofit Consulting).
Third-party cookies are set by parties other than the website owner (such as service providers for analytics, video hosting, or social media integration).
2. How We Use Cookies
Our website is built using the Squarespace platform. Squarespace uses cookies to help our site run effectively and provide a secure experience for our visitors. We categorize the cookies we use into two primary buckets:
A. Functional and Required Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They allow you to navigate our site, fill out contact forms, and securely load content. Without these cookies, certain parts of our website cannot be provided.
These include cookies that:
Identify your secure session while browsing the site.
Prevent cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks to keep form submissions secure.
Remember if you have acknowledged or accepted our cookie banner notice.
B. Analytics and Performance Cookies
We use Squarespace Analytics to collect data about how visitors interact with our website. This includes information such as pages visited, traffic sources, time spent on the site, and the types of devices used.
These cookies help us understand which resources and blog posts are most valuable to the nonprofit community so we can continue to improve our services. All analytics data is aggregated and anonymized; it does not identify you personally.
3. Managing and Disabling Cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences through the following methods:
Website Cookie Banner
When you first visit our website, a cookie notification banner will appear. You can choose to accept or decline analytics tracking directly through this banner.
Your Browser Settings
You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our site may be restricted.
4. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal, regulatory, or operational reasons. Please revisit this policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
