Work for Good Cookie Policy

The Work for Good Website uses ‘cookies’ - pieces of data which are stored on your computer. This Policy explains how we use cookies on the Website. This should be read alongside our privacy policy which explains how we use personal information.

You can choose not to accept our cookies. If you have accepted but then decide to reject our use of cookies, please disable them following the guidance below.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small files that are placed on your computer or mobile device by a website when you visit it. They contain details of your browsing history on that website and distinguish you from other users. Cookies send data back to the originating website on each subsequent visit or allow another website to recognise the cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise a user’s device and, for instance, remember your preferences and generally improve your online user experience.

Although this notice refers to the general term ‘cookie’, it also applies to similar tracking technologies that we use (such as ‘web beacons’, ‘clear GIFs’ and ‘pixel tags’).

More general information about cookies is available here..
