Welcome to Alexis Miranda Foundation and our website at www.alexismirandafoundation.org (our “website”). This policy is intended to inform the users of our website about our use of cookies.

WHY DO WE HAVE A COOKIE POLICY?
This Cookie Policy sits in line with our obligations set out in Massachusetts’s 201 CMR 17.00 (“MSPPI”) and the EU`s Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive (“PECD”). In accordance with them, we need to inform you about the cookies we use and obtain your consent when using certain types of cookies, namely functional, performance, analytical, and advertising cookies.

WHO IS THE DATA CONTROLLER?
A “data controller” is a person or organization who alone or jointly determines the purposes for which, and the manner in which any personal data is, or is likely to be, processed. In this sense, Alexis Miranda Foundation, PO Box 1328, Andover, MA 01810-0023, USA (“Alexis Miranda Foundation”, “we”, “us”, “our”) is the data controller. If you have any questions about cookies on our website, you can reach us using alexismirandafoundation@gmail.com, via our Contact Form, or call +1 401-440-7734.

WHAT ARE COOKIES?
A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that a website sends to your device when you visit it. Cookies allow websites to recognize you and store information about your preferences and actions. Cookies can be divided into the following two broad categories:

Essential or necessary cookies. These cookies are essential or necessary to ensure that a website works properly and is secure so that you can navigate a website and use its features. Without these cookies, certain features of a website would not function, and thus you would not be able to use certain services.

Optional Cookies. These cookies are non-essential for the website to function and require your consent. When it comes to optional cookies, the following distinctions are made:

● Functional cookies, sometimes called convenience cookies. These cookies allow a website to remember the options a user has made and other personalisation options you have selected when browsing.

● Analysis and performance cookies, which are used to monitor and improve the function and service of a website, track down problems, facilitate online surveys, record visitor numbers, and provide analytics metrics.

● Advertising cookies or targeting cookies. They are used to deliver customized advertising to the user.

As explained above, the MSPPI and PECD require us to ask for your consent when using optional cookies. However, as we think it is important that you should have full control over your privacy online, we have refrained from placing optional cookies, and as such, we are not required to obtain any consents. Nonetheless, this may change, and we ask you to regularly check this policy for any updates.
