1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your computer or mobile device when you browse websites. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide anonymous reporting to site operators.
Similar technologies include web storage (such as localStorage), which stores preferences locally within your browser without transmitting them across network requests.
2. How The S.H.E Initiative Uses Cookies
As an educational, student-driven non-profit, we maintain a minimal digital footprint. We only utilize cookies and storage items strictly necessary for the technical operation and accessibility of our website:
- Strictly Essential Cookies & Storage: These are required for website security, page routing, and remembering whether you have acknowledged our privacy and cookie consent notice.
- Performance & Functional Analytics (Optional): Aggregated, anonymized statistics (such as total page visits and workshop page views) that help us understand which initiatives resonate most with the community so we can organize more impactful drives.
