Cookies Policy

Last reviewed: September 2026

We keep this simple: this website does not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. The only data we store in your browser is used to remember your language and accessibility preferences.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website can store on your device to remember information between visits. Websites also commonly use similar browser storage technologies, such as "local storage," for the same purpose. This policy covers both, and we refer to them together as "cookies" for simplicity.

2. Cookies We Use

Global Neighbors Foundation ("GNF," "we," "us," or "our") uses only strictly necessary, functional browser storage. We do not use advertising cookies, cross-site tracking cookies, or third-party analytics cookies. Specifically, our website stores:

  • Language preference: remembers the language you selected so you don't have to choose it again on your next visit.
  • Accessibility preferences: remembers settings you choose in our accessibility panel, such as font size, font style, letter spacing, line height, and link highlighting.
  • Cookie notice acknowledgment: remembers that you have seen and dismissed our cookie notice, so it does not appear on every page.

None of this information identifies you personally, is sold, or is shared with advertisers.

3. Third-Party Services

Google Fonts: We use Google Fonts to display the typefaces on this website. Loading these fonts causes your browser to make a request to a Google server; Google's current webfonts service does not set cookies for this purpose, though your browser does share standard request information (such as your IP address) with Google as part of that request, the way it would for any embedded resource.

Formspree: Contact and inquiry forms on this website are processed by Formspree, a third-party form service. Submitting a form transmits your message to Formspree's servers. Please see Formspree's privacy policy for details on how they handle data.

We do not use Google Analytics, advertising pixels, or any other third-party tracking or marketing cookies on this website.

4. How to Manage or Clear This Information

Because we only use necessary, functional storage, there isn't a marketing-cookie preference to opt out of. If you'd like to reset your saved language or accessibility preferences, you can:

  • Use the "Reset All" button inside the accessibility panel (the icon in the corner of every page), or
  • Clear your browser's site data or cookies for globalneighborsfoundation.org through your browser's settings.

Clearing this data simply means the site will ask for your language preference again and will reset accessibility display settings to their defaults. It will not affect any information you've submitted to us through a form.

5. Changes to This Policy

If we ever begin using additional categories of cookies, such as analytics, we will update this policy and, where required by law, ask for your consent first. The "Last reviewed" date at the top of this page shows when it was most recently updated.
