What are cookies?

A cookie is a small piece of data (text file) that a website – when visited by a user – asks your browser to store on your device in order to remember information about you, such as your language preference or login information. Those cookies are set by us and called first-party cookies. We also use third-party cookies – which are cookies from a domain different from the domain of the website you are visiting – for our advertising and marketing efforts.

Why do we use cookies?

Cookies help us improve our websites, help provide you with the best experience when you visit our websites and when we communicate with you, and deliver Crowdfunder adverts relevant to you and your interests when you visit other websites.

Cookies and similar technologies (such as web beacons (pixels), device fingerprinting or server logging) help us to:

  • Personalise the website to your requirements.
  • Avoid asking you to register or complete details twice.
  • Estimate the number of visitors to our site, including the source and patterns relating to this traffic.
  • Understand how visitors use the site, and how we can enhance this experience.
  • Measure the effectiveness of our marketing communications, for example by telling us if you have opened an email we have sent you.
  • Display relevant advertising to you when you visit other websites.

You are able to set your devices to accept all cookies, to choose the types of cookies you accept, to notify you when a cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at any time. For instructions on how to do this visit www.aboutcookies.org.uk/managing-cookies.

Types of Cookies used

Please find below details the types of cookies used on our website.

Necessary Cookies

Necessary cookies help make a website usable by enabling basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas of the website. The website cannot function properly without these cookies. We do not ask for your permission to set these cookies as we believe that it is in Crowdfunder’s legitimate interests to set essential cookies and we do not believe that this affects your privacy rights; however, you can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies; if you do, please remember that some parts of our site may not work.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable a website to remember information that changes the way the website behaves or looks, like your preferred language or the region that you are in.

Statistic Cookies

These cookies are primarily 3rd party and collect information about how visitors use our website, for instance which pages supporters go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don’t collect information that identifies you personally. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how a website works.

Marketing Cookies

These 3rd party cookies are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with Crowdfunder’s permission. They remember that you have visited our website and this information is shared with other organisations (such as advertisers), so that you may see adverts relating to Crowdfunder on other websites you visit. If you do not allow these cookies, you will not experience our targeted advertising across different websites; you may still see Crowdfunder adverts elsewhere online, but these will not be connected to your previous activity on our website.
