Last updated November 04, 2024

The project I Would Be Here If I Could is operated through Invisible Visible CIC (company number 15705730), a not-for-profit company established for this purpose.

This Cookie Policy explains how Invisible Visible CIC (“Company”, “we”, “us”, and “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognise you when you visit our website at https://www.iwouldbehereificould.com (“Website”). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

In some cases, we may use cookies to collect personal information or information that becomes personal if combined with other data.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Invisible Visible CIC) are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).

Why do we use cookies?

We use first- and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons to operate our Website, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies also help us track and target user interests to enhance the experience on our online properties. Third parties serve cookies through our Website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes.

How can I control cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in the Consent Preferences panel. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services.

The Consent Preferences panel can be found in the website’s footer. You may also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. In this panel, you can also see a list of all the cookies the website uses and their purpose.

How can I control cookies on my browser?

As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary, you should visit your browser’s help menu for more information. Below are links to manage cookies in popular browsers:

What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?

Cookies are not the only way to recognise or track visitors. We may use similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons or tracking pixels. These tiny graphics files allow us to monitor traffic patterns, understand user behaviour, and improve site performance.

Do you use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects?

Websites may use “Flash Cookies” (Local Shared Objects) to collect and store information about your use of our services, fraud prevention, and other operations. You can control Flash Cookies via the Website Storage Settings Panel or the Global Storage Settings Panel.

Do you serve targeted advertising?

Third parties may use cookies to serve advertising through our Website. They use this information to show relevant advertisements based on your interests. The data collected does not allow us or them to directly identify you unless you choose to provide your details.

How often will you update this Cookie Policy?

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Please revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies. The date at the top indicates the last update.
