How We Use Cookies
Social Justice and Small Persons’ Rights uses cookies and similar technologies to keep our website secure, improve performance,
understand what content helps our community, and support key actions such as signing up for updates, donating, and sharing resources.
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which types we use, and how you can manage your consent at any time.
We aim to be transparent and privacy-forward. We limit cookie use to what is necessary for a reliable experience and to help us
measure the impact of our advocacy campaigns, educational resources, and community outreach.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit a website. They help websites remember
information such as your preferences, whether you’re logged in, and how you navigate between pages. Similar tools may include pixels,
tags, local storage, and analytics scripts—collectively referred to here as “cookies.”
Types of Cookies We May Use
1) Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response
to actions you take, such as setting privacy preferences, submitting forms, or enabling security protections.
- Purpose: Security, fraud prevention, load balancing, consent preference storage, and core site functionality.
- Legal basis (where applicable): Legitimate interests / required to provide the service you request.
2) Preference Cookies
Preference cookies help the site remember choices you make to improve accessibility and usability (for example, language or display
settings), so you don’t have to reset them each visit.
- Purpose: Remembering site preferences, improving navigation and readability.
3) Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our site—such as which pages are most helpful, how long pages take to load,
and where users encounter difficulties. This information helps us improve content about disability rights, anti-discrimination policy,
accessibility barriers, and campaign updates.
- Purpose: Measuring engagement, improving content, evaluating campaign performance and educational impact.
- Data handling: Wherever possible, we use privacy-respecting settings (such as IP anonymization or reduced data collection).
4) Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enable enhanced features such as embedded videos, interactive tools, donation processing, and sign-up forms. If you
disable these cookies, some features may not work properly.
- Purpose: Supporting website features that help you take action, learn, and participate.
5) Social Media & Sharing Cookies
When you share content through platforms like Facebook, X, or LinkedIn, or when social media embeds appear on our pages, those services
may set cookies on your device. These may track your interaction according to the platform’s own policies.
- Purpose: Enabling sharing, measuring how social posts and community conversations drive awareness.
- Note: We recommend reviewing each platform’s privacy and cookie settings for full control.
6) Advertising / Targeting Cookies (Limited Use)
As a nonprofit, our focus is advocacy—not advertising. If we ever run outreach campaigns (for example, to promote petitions, events,
fundraising, or educational materials), we may use limited targeting cookies to understand what outreach is effective. Where required,
we will request your consent before using these cookies.
- Purpose: Measuring outreach effectiveness and improving calls to action.
- Control: Optional and managed through your consent settings.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies may be set by trusted third-party providers that help us deliver essential services, including:
- Analytics providers to understand site performance and content engagement.
- Email newsletter tools to manage subscriptions and measure email performance.
- Donation and payment processors to securely handle contributions.
- Video or document embeds that support educational and campaign content.
These providers may process data under their own privacy practices. We encourage you to review their cookie policies and settings.
How Long Cookies Stay on Your Device
- Session cookies: Deleted automatically when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies: Remain until they expire or you delete them (used to remember preferences and consent choices).
Manage Your Cookie Preferences
You can control cookies in two main ways: through our cookie consent settings and through your browser/device settings. Your choices
matter, and you can change them at any time.
Update Your Consent on Our Site
If you previously gave consent, you can update it anytime by revisiting our cookie banner or consent tool (if available on your visit).
This allows you to accept or reject optional cookies such as analytics, functional enhancements, or social media cookies.
Use Your Browser Controls
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. You can typically find these settings under “Privacy” or “Security.” Please note:
blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect site functionality, including forms, accessibility settings, and donation features.
- Delete cookies stored by our website
- Block third-party cookies
- Set rules for specific sites
- Enable “Do Not Track” (where supported)
Accessibility & Respect for Our Community

or surveillance concerns. We strive to make our cookie and consent experience clear, readable, keyboard-friendly, and compatible with
assistive technologies.
Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in law, technology, or how our website works. When we make material changes, we
will update this page and, where appropriate, provide additional notice.
