1. What cookies are
Cookies are small pieces of data stored by a web browser to support website functionality, remember limited session information or help a website understand how a service is being used.
2. Cookies currently used by SCOPE
The current SCOPE website uses essential session functionality on the contact form. This temporary session supports security controls such as form-session validation, CSRF protection and prevention of repeated automated submissions.
Essential session cookies are not used by SCOPE for advertising or behavioural profiling.
3. Payment gateway cookies
If you proceed to a third-party payment gateway or banking service to complete a donation, that provider may use its own cookies or similar technologies for authentication, fraud prevention, transaction security and service operation. Those cookies are controlled by the relevant third party and are subject to its own privacy and cookie practices.
4. Analytics and advertising
At the date shown below, SCOPE does not describe any advertising or behavioural-profiling cookie as part of the current website implementation. If non-essential analytics, advertising or similar technology is introduced later, this policy should be updated and any consent mechanism required by applicable law should be implemented before such technology is used.
5. Managing cookies
Most browsers allow users to view, delete or block cookies through browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may affect contact-form security, session handling or other website functions that depend on them.
6. Updates to this policy
SCOPE may update this Cookie Policy if website functionality, payment services or cookie usage changes. The current version will be published on this page.
