This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites may place on your computer, phone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website.
Cookies allow a website to recognize a browser or device and may help the website remember information about your visit.
Similar technologies, such as pixels, local storage, scripts, and other tracking technologies, may perform functions similar to cookies and may also be used by GWR or third-party services.
2. Why Global Worship Radio Uses Cookies
GWR may use cookies and similar technologies for several purposes, including:
- Operating essential website features;
- Maintaining website security;
- Remembering preferences;
- Improving website functionality;
- Understanding how visitors use our websites;
- Measuring website performance;
- Troubleshooting technical issues;
- Improving the online radio experience;
- Supporting embedded or third-party services; and
- Improving the overall user experience.
Not every cookie is used for advertising or tracking purposes. Some cookies are necessary for our websites to function properly.
3. Types of Cookies We May Use
3.1 Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for certain website functions to operate.
They may support functions such as:
- Website navigation;
- Security;
- Form functionality;
- Session management;
- Authentication where applicable; and
- Other technical functions required for the website to operate.
Because these cookies may be necessary for the operation and security of our websites, they generally cannot be disabled through website settings without affecting functionality.
3.2 Preference Cookies
Preference cookies allow a website to remember choices or settings made during previous visits.
These may include information that helps the website remember certain user preferences and provide a more consistent experience.
3.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies
Where analytics services are enabled, GWR may use cookies or similar technologies to understand how visitors interact with our websites.
This may help us understand information such as:
- Number of visitors;
- Pages viewed;
- General traffic patterns;
- How visitors arrive at our websites;
- Website performance; and
- Areas of the website that may need improvement.
Analytics information may be collected in an aggregated or pseudonymous form depending on the technology being used.
3.4 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies may support features that enhance the functionality of our websites.
For example, they may help support embedded content, interactive features, media players, or other website functionality.
3.5 Third-Party Cookies
Some services provided by third parties may place cookies or similar technologies on your device when you use our websites.
These services may include:
- Radio streaming services;
- Embedded media;
- Social-media features;
- Analytics services;
- Security services;
- External forms;
- Event or promotional services;
- Donation or payment services; and
- Other third-party integrations.
Third-party cookies are controlled by the relevant third party and are subject to that provider’s own privacy policies and terms.
4. Cookies and the GWR Online Radio Player
When you use the GWR online radio player, your browser may communicate with third-party radio streaming infrastructure to establish and maintain the audio stream.
The radio player or related services may use cookies, local storage, or similar technologies to support functionality, performance, security, or other technical purposes.
Technical information associated with your connection may also be processed by the relevant service provider.
GWR does not control the independent cookie practices of third-party radio and streaming providers.
5. Cookies Used by Third-Party Services
GWR’s websites may incorporate technology from third-party providers.
When these services are used, they may place their own cookies or use similar technologies.
For example, a third-party service may use such technologies when you:
- Play online radio;
- View embedded media;
- Interact with social-media content;
- Submit information through an externally hosted form;
- Participate in an event or giveaway;
- Make a donation or payment; or
- Use another feature provided by an external service.
The third party’s own privacy policy and cookie practices will apply to information collected directly by that provider.
6. How Long Cookies Remain on Your Device
Cookies may be either session cookies or persistent cookies.
Session cookies generally remain on your device only while your browser session is active and are removed when the session ends or the browser is closed.
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a specified period or until they are manually deleted.
The duration of a particular cookie depends on its purpose and the service that places it.
7. Managing and Disabling Cookies
Most modern web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings.
You may be able to:
- Block cookies;
- Delete existing cookies;
- Allow cookies only from certain websites;
- Receive notifications before cookies are stored; or
- Automatically delete cookies when your browser is closed.
The exact settings vary between browsers and devices.
Please be aware that disabling or blocking certain cookies may affect the availability or functionality of some GWR website features.
8. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers and devices provide “Do Not Track” or similar privacy settings.
Because there is currently no universally consistent technical standard for responding to all such signals, GWR may not respond to every browser-based Do Not Track signal in the same manner.
9. Cookies and Personal Information
Cookies do not necessarily identify you directly by name.
However, certain cookies or technologies may be associated with information that can identify or relate to a particular device, browser, or user.
Where cookie-related information constitutes personal information under applicable law, we will handle it in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable legal requirements.
