COOKIE POLICY

Effective Date: April 21, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how NHCLC.org uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit the website.

By continuing to use the website, you acknowledge that cookies and similar technologies may be used as described in this Cookie Policy, subject to your browser settings, consent choices, and applicable law.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function, improve user experience, remember preferences, understand site usage, and support security and performance.

Cookies may be set by NHCLC.org or by third-party services integrated into the website.

2. Types of Cookies We May Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They may support core features such as page navigation, security, form submission, session management, load balancing, accessibility preferences, and fraud prevention.

Because these cookies are necessary for the website to operate, they do not usually require consent where permitted by law.

Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the website, such as which pages are visited, how long visitors remain on a page, what links are clicked, and whether errors occur. These cookies help improve site performance, content organization, and user experience.

These cookies may collect information such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring pages, approximate location, and interactions with the website.

Functionality Cookies

These cookies remember choices you make, such as language preferences, display settings, or other customized features, so the website can provide a more personalized experience.

Embedded Content and Media Cookies

Some pages may include embedded video, audio, maps, social feeds, donation tools, forms, or other content provided by third parties. These services may place cookies or similar tracking technologies when you interact with that content or, in some cases, when the content loads.

Advertising or Social Media Cookies

NHCLC.org may use limited third-party tools that support audience insights, campaign measurement, social media integrations, or outreach effectiveness. If these tools are used, they may place cookies that track interactions across websites or platforms, subject to applicable law and user consent where required.

3. Why We Use Cookies

We may use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • operate and secure the website

  • remember user preferences

  • improve website functionality and performance

  • understand how visitors engage with our content

  • measure the effectiveness of communications or campaigns

  • support event registration, form handling, donations, or media features

  • maintain session continuity and site reliability

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies may be set by third-party service providers that support website hosting, analytics, embedded media, forms, donations, social media, video playback, maps, or other features.

NHCLC does not control third-party cookies once those providers set them. Your interactions with third-party services are governed by their own privacy and cookie policies.

5. How You Can Control Cookies

You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

  • view stored cookies

  • block all cookies or certain categories of cookies

  • delete cookies

  • receive alerts when cookies are being placed

Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality, performance, or availability of some parts of NHCLC.org.

If the website presents a cookie banner or consent tool, you may use that tool to manage your preferences where required by law.

6. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a Do Not Track setting. Because there is no uniform industry standard for responding to Do Not Track signals across all systems and services, NHCLC.org may not respond to such signals in every context. Where required by applicable law, any legally recognized preference signal will be handled in accordance with applicable requirements.

7. Cookie Retention

Cookies may remain on your device for different periods of time. Some cookies are session cookies and expire when you close your browser. Others are persistent cookies and remain until they expire or are deleted.

Retention periods vary depending on the cookie’s purpose and the service that sets it.

8. Updates to This Cookie Policy

NHCLC may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements, website operations, or the technologies used on the site. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.

9. Contact
