Cookie Policy
How this website uses cookies, and how you can change your mind at any time.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. They let a site remember things between pages and visits — such as the cookie choice you have already made — and they can also be used to count visitors.
Your choice
We only set optional cookies if you agree. When you first visit, we ask whether you are happy for us to use analytics cookies. If you say no, or simply close the banner, only the essential cookies below are used. You can change your answer whenever you like.
Essential cookies
These keep the site working — remembering your cookie choice, processing donations securely, and stopping spam through our contact form. The site cannot function properly without them, so they do not require consent.
| Cookie | Set by | What it does | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
| ja_cookie_consent | Jambo Africa Community | Remembers your cookie choices so we do not ask again on every page. | 6 months |
| __stripe_mid, __stripe_sid | Stripe | Fraud prevention during donation checkout. Only set when you make a donation. | Up to 1 year |
| _GRECAPTCHA | Google reCAPTCHA | Protects our contact form from automated spam submissions. | 6 months |
Analytics cookies (optional)
These help us understand how people find and use the site so we can improve it and report honestly to our funders. They are switched off until you turn them on, and none of them are used to identify you personally.
| Cookie | Set by | What it does | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga, _ga_*, _gid | Google Analytics | Counts visits and shows us which pages people find useful, using anonymised IP addresses. | Up to 2 years |
| _gcl_au | Google Ads | Measures whether our grant-funded ads bring people to the site. | 90 days |
| sc_is_visitor_unique, is_unique | Statcounter | Tells us whether a visit is from a new or returning visitor. | Up to 2 years |
Embedded content
Our contact page includes a Google map. Because loading it allows Google to set its own cookies, the map does not load until you choose to show it, or until you have accepted analytics cookies.
Managing cookies in your browser
You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Every major browser lets you do this from its privacy or security preferences. Blocking all cookies may stop parts of this site, including donations, from working properly.
