We use a number of different cookies on our site. The list below describes the cookies we use on this site and what we use them for. Currently, we operate an ‘implied consent’ policy which means that we assume you are happy with this usage.

First Party Cookies
These are cookies that are set by this website directly.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to collect information about visitor behavior on our website. Google Analytics stores information about what pages you visit, how long you are on the site, how you got here and what you click on. This Analytics data is collected via a JavaScript tag in the pages of our site and is not tied to personally identifiable information. We, therefore, do not collect or store your personal information (e.g. your name or address) so this information cannot be used to identify who you are. You can find out more about Google’s position on privacy as regards its analytics service at http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/
Google Maps
We use Google Maps for our “Find a Church” locator. This feature makes use of your web browser’s geolocation feature to determine your location. Google Maps accesses your location from your browser and can only do so with your explicit consent. The first time you use the My Location feature, your browser will ask whether you’re happy to share your location with Google Maps. If you deny this, your location is not shared with Google Maps and the My Location feature will be deactivated.

Our website runs the popular WordPress CMS and cookies are used to store basic data on your interactions with WordPress, and whether you have logged into WordPress. We use a session cookie to remember your log-in for you if you are a registered user and we deem these as being strictly necessary to the working of the website. If these are disabled then various functionality on the site will be broken.
Third Party Cookies
These are cookies set on your machine by external websites whose services are used on this site. Cookies of this type are the sharing buttons across the site that allow visitors to share content onto social networks. In order to implement these buttons, and connect them to the relevant social networks and external sites, there are scripts from domains outside of our website.
You should check the respective policies of each of these sites to see how exactly they use your information and to find out how to opt out or delete such information.
