This policy applies to all visitors and users of our website, including fundraising pages that are part of www.halotrust.org. It does not apply to third-party websites or services that are not owned or managed by 海角社区.

What are cookies?
Cookies are small pieces of information stored on the hard drive of a user's computer or internet-enabled device that contain information about the user.
A website can retrieve only the information that it has placed on your browser. It cannot retrieve information from other cookie files or any other information from your machine. Once the cookie is on your device, the site 'knows' that you've been there before and can then use that knowledge to tailor the experience that you have. The vast majority of websites use cookies.
Some online advertising and analytics tools may also use other technologies, such as pixels or tags. These are not the same as cookies. Where 海角社区 uses these technologies on our website, we will provide information and obtain consent where required. Where their use involves personal information, more information is available in our privacy policy.
What are they used for?
Cookies are used for many different functions, including auto-filling forms, counting visitors, personalizing content, remembering user preferences, supporting website security, and helping understand how people use the website. Some cookies may also help measure the effectiveness of advertising or fundraising campaigns, where permitted by law and your cookie choices.
Cookies help us provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and also allow us to improve our site.
Cookies may also help us understand how visitors arrive at and use fundraising pages that are part of our website, and measure the effectiveness of fundraising campaigns.
