Cookie Policy
Last updated: September 2026
This page explains exactly what focusuganda.org stores on your device. The short version: very little, and nothing that tracks you.
We set no advertising or analytics cookies
There are no third-party advertising tags, no social media pixels and no cross-site tracking on this website. We do not sell or share browsing data.
What we do use
| Name | Type | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
csrftoken |
Cookie, strictly necessary | Protects our forms against cross-site request forgery. Set only when you use a form. | 1 year |
sessionid |
Cookie, strictly necessary | Keeps your place during a form or giving flow. | Until you close your browser |
focus-theme |
Local storage, not a cookie | Remembers whether you chose the light or dark theme. Never leaves your device. | Until you clear site data |
focus-cookie-notice |
Local storage, not a cookie | Remembers that you have seen this notice, so we do not show it again. | Until you clear site data |
Do you need to consent?
Strictly necessary cookies, the two above, do not require consent, because the site cannot securely process a form without them. The two local-storage values are preferences stored only in your own browser. Because we set nothing for advertising or analytics, there is no tracking for you to opt out of. The notice you see on your first visit is there to tell you this, not to gate a tracker.
The map on our contact page
Our contact page can show a Google map of the office. It is not loaded until you press "Show the map". Open the page and do nothing, and no request reaches Google at all. Press the button and Google will receive your IP address and may set its own cookies, under Google's privacy policy. The plain address and a normal link to Google Maps are always available instead, if you would rather not load the embed.
Payment providers
When you continue to PayPal or Pesapal to complete a gift, those companies set their own cookies on their own pages, under their own policies. We have no control over them and receive no data from them beyond your payment confirmation.
Controlling storage
You can clear or block cookies and site data in your browser settings. Blocking the strictly necessary cookies will stop our forms and giving flow from working.
