Website Cookie Policy

RC No: 9235708

WEBSITE COOKIE POLICY

Effective Date: July 11, 2026

Version: 1.0 (Digital Optimisation & Tracking Standard)

1. INTRODUCTION AND STATEMENT ON TRANSPARENCY

The Global ManityHQ Network ("ManityHQ," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar digital tracking technologies on our official website (www.manityhq.com) and associated community subdomains. In strict alignment with our BASE value of Empathy, we believe transparency is foundational to building trust with our online visitors, members, and global partners.

This Cookie Policy provides a clear, plain-language breakdown of what cookies are, how we utilise them to optimise our digital footprints, and how you can manage or disable them through your personal device settings.

2. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small, secure text files that are automatically downloaded to your computer, smartphone, or tablet when you navigate a website. They act as a temporary memory for the platform, allowing the website to recognise your device, remember your localised preferences, and securely keep you logged into restricted community portals over time.

Cookies can be "Session Cookies" (which are automatically erased the moment you close your web browser) or "Persistent Cookies" (which remain stored on your device until they expire or are manually deleted).

3. THE CATEGORIES OF COOKIES WE USE

ManityHQ deploys cookies across four specific operational tiers to ensure a seamless, high-performance experience:

3.1. Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

• These cookies are vital for the fundamental operation of our website and cannot be deactivated in our systems.
• They manage core security tokens, allow you to securely log into your private profile inside The BASE, and manage your shopping cart as you select items within our "Shop with Purpose" merchandise terminal.
• Without these cookies, basic transaction checkouts and secure member areas cannot function properly.

3.2. Performance and Analytical Cookies

• These cookies collect completely aggregated, non-identifiable data regarding how visitors interface with our website.
• They allow us to monitor our overall digital footprints by tracking unique page views, identifying which sections are visited most frequently (e.g., mapping user transitions from "Our Work" to "Get Involved"), and identifying server or loading lag.
• We use this statistical data exclusively to improve our content architecture, programmatic transparency, and overall user journey.

3.3. Functional and Multimedia Cookies

• These cookies enable enhanced website customisation and save your chosen preferences (such as language configurations or regional currency displays for donations).
• They also manage embedded multimedia assets, ensuring smooth video playback for our Man Talk video podcast series and our global written or multimedia field reports.

3.4. Marketing and Campaign Optimisation Pixels

• These cookies and pixels may be deployed through our trusted third-party advertising or media partners.
• They are used to measure the direct mathematical reach and conversions of our global advocacy campaigns.
• They help us optimise social media promotions and digital notifications to connect with individuals who may wish to support our mission as volunteers, donors, or institutional allies

4. THIRD-PARTY COOKIES AND TECH INTEGRATION

In specific operational instances, cookies are managed by external technical networks. For example, when you watch embedded campaign videos or project reports hosted via our official YouTube channel, or route financial support through our secure third-party donation gateways, those external networks may drop their own performance or functional cookies to track video metrics or safeguard financial paths. ManityHQ does not possess direct administrative control over the data cookies deployed by these external platforms.

5. MANAGING AND DEACTIVATING COOKIES

5.1. The Cookie Consent Preference Banner: When you first access our website, an interactive banner will appear allowing you to explicitly accept or decline analytics, functional, and marketing cookies. Strictly necessary cookies do not require prior consent as they are mandatory for basic platform stability.

5.2. Web Browser Configuration Controls: You retain the complete right to modify your web browser settings to block, limit, or delete cookies entirely. Most modern browsers allow you to manage cookie behaviors through their "Privacy" or "Settings" menus.

5.3. Operational Trade-offs: Please note that if you choose to globally block or wipe out all cookies (including essential ones), specific interactive zones of our website, e-commerce storefront checkout steps, and video playback setups may experience functional latency or fail to load completely.

6. POLICY AMENDMENTS AND REVIEWS
We will systematically review and modify this Cookie Policy as we finalise software developments, platform digitisation, and cross-border integrations. Any changes will be updated directly on this page with a freshly noted "Effective Date."
