Cookies Policy

This Cookies & Similar Technologies Policy ("CST policy") describes the different types of cookies and similar technologies that All Out Action Fund (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses on https://allout.org/ or any other site where this policy appears ("Site"). We may change this CST Policy at any time. Please take a look at the "Last Updated" legend at the top of this page to see when this CST Policy was last revised. Any changes to this CST Policy will become effective when we make the revised CST Policy available on or through the Site. You should revisit this page if you wish to stay informed of any changes.

In some cases, we may use cookies and similar technologies to collect personal information, or information that becomes personal information if we combine it with other information. In such cases the All Out Privacy Policy will apply in addition to this CST Policy.

If you have any questions, please contact us using this form.

1. What Are Cookies And Similar Technologies?

Cookies are a standard feature of websites that allow us, or a third party, to store small amounts of data on your computer about your visit to the Site. Cookies set by us are called first-party cookies, while those set by third parties are third-party cookies.

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track users of our Sites. We may use other similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs") to track users of our Sites. These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has interacted with our Sites, such as opening an email that we have sent them. The use of web beacons (or similar technologies) allow us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users within our Sites, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Sites from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve our online services, and to measure the success of marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.

You can choose whether to accept the use of cookies and similar technologies in general by changing the settings on your browser or by changing specific settings for the Site (as set out in Section 3 of this CST Policy). If, however, you disable cookies and similar technologies, your experience on the Site may be diminished and some features may not work as intended.

2. Why Do We Use Cookies and Similar Technologies?

When you access our Site, we or companies we work with may place cookies on your computer or other device. These technologies help us better understand user behavior, and inform us about which parts of our websites people have visited. Cookies also help us learn which areas of the Site need improvement. As discussed above, we also use technologies similar to cookies, such as pixel tags for these purposes.

We may place cookies from third-party service providers who may use information about your visits to other websites to target advertisements for products and services available from All Out. We do not control the types of information collected and stored by these third-party cookies. You should check the third-party's website for more information on how they use cookies.

The following are some examples of information that we collect and how we may use it:

• We may collect and store details of how you use our Sites. Except in limited instances to ensure quality of our services over the Internet, such information will not be associated with your IP address.
• We may collect information such as your language, inferred zip code or area code, unique device identifier, referrer URL, location, and time zone so that we can better understand customer behavior and improve our services.

3. What Cookies And Similar Technologies Do We Use?

Below we list the different types of cookies and similar technologies that are used on the Site. To the extent any personal information is collected through cookies, our Privacy Policy applies and complements this CST Policy.

Essential Cookies. Essential cookies enable you to navigate the Site and to use its services and features. Essential cookies are sometimes referred to as “strictly necessary” since without these absolutely necessary cookies, the Site will not perform for you as we would like it to, and we may not be able to provide the Site or certain services or features. For example, essential cookies may help secure our Site and services, or help with navigating users between pages.

Performance/Analytics Cookies. Performance/Analytics cookies collect information about your use of the Site and enable us to improve the way it works. For example, analytics cookies show us which are the most frequently visited pages on the Site, help us record any difficulties you have with the Site, and show us whether our advertising is effective or not. This allows us to see the overall patterns of usage on the Site, rather than the usage of a single person. We use the information to analyze Site traffic, but we do not examine this information for individually identifying information.

Functional Cookies. These cookies allow a Site to remember choices you make and provide enhanced and more personal features (such as your preferred language). These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts and other parts of web pages that you can customize. Other examples include remembering a username and email address. These cookies collect information in an identifiable form.

Social Media Cookies. These cookies are set by a range of social media services that we have added to the site to enable you to interact with those platforms and share our content with your friends and networks. They are capable of tracking your browser across other sites and building up a profile of your interests. This may impact the content and messages you see on other websites you visit. If you do not allow these cookies you may not be able to use or see these sharing tools.

4. Other Information about Cookies and Tracking Technologies.

• We have configured Google Analytics to not share data with third parties; and

Pixel tags. Pixel tags (also known as web beacons and clear GIFs) are used to, among other things, track the actions of users of the Site, measure the success of our marketing campaigns, and compile statistics about usage of the Site and response rates. For example, we use Meta Pixel, provided by Meta, Inc. (“Meta”), to collect analytics about webpage views and petition signatures. You can learn more about Meta’s data practices by referring to Meta’s Data Policy.

Browser or Device Information. Certain information is collected by most browsers or automatically through your device, such as your Media Access Control (MAC) address, computer type (Windows or Mac), screen resolution, operating system name and version, device manufacturer and model, language, Internet browser type and version, and the name and version of the Site you are using. We use this information to ensure that the Site functions properly.

Physical Location. We collect the physical location of your device by, for example, using satellite, cell phone tower, or WiFi signals. We use your device’s physical location to provide you with personalized location-based services and content. In some instances, you may allow or deny such use through your device settings.

5. How Do I Manage Cookies And Similar Technologies?
