This Cookie Policy explains how Trinity Church in the City of Boston uses cookies and similar technologies on trinitychurchboston.org. It should be read together with our Privacy Statement.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function, remember your preferences, keep the site secure, and understand how the site is used. Similar technologies (such as pixels and local storage) work in comparable ways; we refer to all of these as “cookies” here.

Types of cookies we use

• Strictly necessary cookies. Required for the Site to work — for example, for security, load balancing, and remembering your cookie choices. The Site cannot function properly without these.
• Functional cookies. Used by services like our content-delivery and caching layer (Cloudflare and our page cache) to serve the Site quickly and reliably.
• Analytics cookies. We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site — which pages are popular, how people arrive, and how we can improve. These help us, not advertisers.
• Anti-spam cookies. Google reCAPTCHA may set cookies to tell humans from bots and protect our forms.
• Third-party / embedded content cookies. When a page includes embedded content — such as an Instagram feed, a video, or a map — that provider may set its own cookies if the content loads or you interact with it. These are governed by the provider’s own policies.

We do not use cookies to sell your data or serve targeted advertising.

How long cookies last

• Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies remain for a set period or until you delete them.

Managing cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block or remove cookies, or warn you before one is set. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may cause parts of the Site not to work. To manage cookies, see your browser’s help pages — Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge all provide instructions.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date above.
