COOKIE POLICY
We use cookies to help improve your experience of
www.fguraparish.org. This cookie policy is part of www.fguraparish.org’s privacy policy, and covers the
use of cookies between your device and our site. We also
provide basic information on third-party services we may
use, who may also use cookies as part of their service,
though they are not covered by our policy.
If you don’t wish to accept cookies from us, you should

What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small piece of data that a website stores on
your device when you visit, typically containing information
about the website itself, a unique identifier that allows
the site to recognise your web browser when you return,
additional data that serves the purpose of the cookie, and
the lifespan of the cookie itself.
Cookies are used to enable certain features (eg. logging
in), to track site usage (eg. analytics), to store your user
settings (eg. timezone, notification preferences), and to
personalise your content (eg. advertising, language).
Cookies set by the website you are visiting are normally
referred to as “first-party cookies”, and typically only
track your activity on that particular site. Cookies set by
other sites and companies (ie. third parties) are called
“third-party cookies”, and can be used to track you on other
websites that use the same third-party service.
TYPES OF COOKIES AND HOW WE USE THEM
Essential cookies
Essential cookies are crucial to your experience of a
website, enabling core features like user logins, account
management, shopping carts and payment processing. We use
essential cookies to enable certain functions on our
website.
Performance cookies
Performance cookies are used in the tracking of how you use
a website during your visit, without collecting personal
information about you. Typically, this information is
anonymous and aggregated with information tracked across all
site users, to help companies understand visitor usage
patterns, identify and diagnose problems or errors their
users may encounter, and make better strategic decisions in
improving their audience’s overall website experience. These
cookies may be set by the website you’re visiting
(first-party) or by third-party services. We use performance
cookies on our site.
Functionality cookies
Functionality cookies are used in collecting information
about your device and any settings you may configure on the
website you’re visiting (like language and timezone
settings). With this information, websites can provide you
with customised, enhanced or optimised content and services.
These cookies may be set by the website you’re visiting
(first-party) or by third-party service. We use
functionality cookies for selected features on our site.
Targeting/advertising cookies
Targeting/advertising cookies are used in determining what
promotional content is more relevant and appropriate to you
and your interests. Websites may use them to deliver
targeted advertising or to limit the number of times you see
an advertisement. This helps companies improve the
effectiveness of their campaigns and the quality of content
presented to you. These cookies may be set by the website
you’re visiting (first-party) or by third-party services.
Targeting/advertising cookies set by third-parties may be
used to track you on other websites that use the same
third-party service. We use targeting/advertising cookies on
our site.
Third-party cookies on our site
We may employ third-party companies and individuals on our
websites—for example, analytics providers and content
partners. We grant these third parties access to selected
information to perform specific tasks on our behalf. They
may also set third-party cookies in order to deliver the
services they are providing. Third-party cookies can be used
to track you on other websites that use the same third-party
service. As we have no control over third-party cookies,
they are not covered by www.fguraparish.org’s cookie
policy.
Our third-party privacy promise
We review the privacy policies of all our third-party
providers before enlisting their services to ensure their
practices align with ours. We will never knowingly include
third-party services that compromise or violate the privacy
of our users.
