What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites that  you visit. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work better,  as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. A cookie often contains a unique number, which can be used to recognise your computer when a user of your computer returns to a  website that it visited previously.

You can read our privacy policy for more information about how we process personal data.

How does Freedom from Torture use cookies?

We use cookies to enhance your online experience to better understand how our sites are used. Cookies may tell us, for  example, whether you have visited our site before or to remember your order session as you go through our shopping cart or ticket buying process. We may also use cookies to show you relevant Freedom from Torture content on third party websites such as Facebook - this is known as advertising or retargeting.

Secure.freedomfromtorture.org

When visiting our main website, you may be directed to secure.freedomfromtorture.org which is hosted by a company called Engaging Networks.

We don’t govern third party cookies used by Engaging Networks, but their privacy policy can be found at  https://www.engagingnetworks.support/cookie-policy/.

Types of cookies

There are two broad types of cookies - 'first party cookies' and 'third party cookies':

First party cookies are cookies that are served directly by the website operator to your computer, and are often used to recognise your computer when it revisits that site and to remember your preferences as you browse the site. These cookies are ones Freedom From Torture have specifically set on the site.

Third party cookies are served by a service provider on behalf of the website operator, and can be used by the service provider to recognise your computer when it visits other web sites. Third party cookies are most commonly used for website analytics and advertising.

In addition, cookies may be either 'session cookies' or 'persistent cookies'. Your computer automatically removes session cookies once you close your browser. Persistent cookies will survive on your computer until an expiry date specified in the cookie itself is reached.

Your rights

You have the right to choose whether to accept non-essential cookies. You can exercise this right by amending or setting the controls on your browser to reflect your cookie preferences

However, please note that if you choose to refuse cookies you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

Essential cookies

Essential cookies help make a website usable by enabling basic functions like:

  • access to secure areas of the website and logins

  • Your choice whether you consented to save non-essential cookies or not

  • Bot detection (eg. captchas)

The website cannot function properly without these cookies.
