This Cookie Policy explains how Fair Repair uses cookies and similar technologies on our website at https://fairrepair.org. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember information about your visit — for example, your preferences or whether you have previously visited. Cookies can be set by the website you're visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services embedded on the page.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use a minimal set of cookies. We have tried to keep our cookie usage as limited as possible while maintaining basic site functionality and understanding how our website is used.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be disabled. They do not store any personally identifiable information.
Analytics Cookies
We may use anonymised analytics cookies to understand how visitors navigate our site — which pages are visited, how long is spent on each page, and where visitors come from. This data is collected in aggregate and does not identify individuals. Analytics cookies are only set if you accept non-essential cookies through our consent banner.
Third-Party Cookies
Some pages on our website include embedded content from third parties (such as a Google Maps embed on our contact page). These third parties may set their own cookies when you interact with their embedded content. We do not control the behaviour of these cookies; please refer to the relevant third party's cookie or privacy policy for details.
3. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can manage cookies in several ways:
- Our consent banner: When you first visit our site, a banner allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your preference is saved in local storage and respected on subsequent visits.
- Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to view, delete, or block cookies through your browser's settings or preferences menu. Note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of some websites.
- Google Analytics opt-out: You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your site visits by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
4. Local Storage
In addition to cookies, our website uses browser local storage to save your cookie consent preference (fr_cookie_consent). Local storage is similar to cookies in that it stores data on your device, but is not transmitted to our server with each request. You can clear local storage through your browser's developer tools or by clearing your site data.
5. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies changes or as applicable law requires. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent update.
