1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files a website places on your device. They let the site remember things between page loads — for example, that you have already dismissed a notice. Similar technologies include localStorage and sessionStorage.

2. Our approach

We have deliberately kept this site simple. We do not use advertising cookies, third-party tracking pixels, social media trackers, or cross-site behavioral profiling. If we ever add analytics, we will update this policy and ask for your consent first.

3. What we actually store

NameTypePurposeDuration
fca_cookie_ack_v1 localStorage Remembers that you dismissed the cookie notice so it does not reappear. Until you clear browser data
__stripe_mid, __stripe_sid Third-party (Stripe) Set only when you proceed to the Stripe checkout page. Used for fraud prevention and to process your payment. Not set on this site. 1 year / 30 minutes

Our hosting provider may also log standard request data (IP address, user agent, timestamp) for security. These are server logs, not cookies.

5. Managing cookies

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings:

Blocking cookies will not prevent you from browsing this site. It may prevent you from completing a donation, because Stripe requires cookies to process payments securely.

6. Do Not Track

Because we do not track users across sites, we do not respond differently to browser "Do Not Track" signals. We simply do not track you.

7. Changes and contact

We will update this page if our practices change. Questions: info@freedomcenteracademy.org · +1 (843) 251-6455
