🍪 Cookie Policy – Whiskers Health Organisation
Last updated: September 6, 2025
Whiskers Health Organisation (“we”, “our”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our websites: • whiskershealth.org (main site) • raffle.whiskershealth.org (raffle platform)
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use, and how you can manage your preferences.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function, improve performance, and provide insights into usage.
We use both first-party cookies (set by us) and third-party cookies (set by service providers that support our website and raffle).
2. Types of cookies we use
Strictly necessary cookies – required for the site to work properly (e.g. cookie banner, payments, raffle security). These cannot be switched off.
Functional cookies – help remember your preferences (e.g. newsletter sign-up state).
Analytics cookies – help us understand how visitors use our sites (only used if you consent).
Third-party cookies – may be set by our trusted service providers when you interact with donations or raffles.

Third-party services (redirects, not on our domain):
Stripe payments – When you purchase raffle tickets, you are redirected to Stripe Checkout (checkout.stripe.com). Stripe sets its own cookies on their domain to process payments securely, prevent fraud, and manage checkout sessions. These cookies are strictly necessary for payment and are governed by Stripe’s Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy. Our cookie banner does not control cookies set on Stripe’s domain.
PayPal donations – Our Donate button redirects you to PayPal (paypal.com) to complete your donation. Cookies set during payment are created on PayPal’s domain and are governed by PayPal’s own cookie and privacy policies. Our cookie banner does not control cookies set on PayPal’s domain.
Web3Forms contact forms – Used for contact form submissions. Web3Forms does not set cookies on our domain.
Optional analytics cookies (only if enabled in future):
Cookie name: _ga, _ga_* Provider: Google Analytics Purpose: Collects visitor statistics (only set with consent) Expiry: 2 years Category: Analytics
4. Consent
We only set non-essential cookies (like analytics) if you give us consent via the cookie banner.
You can choose Accept All, Reject Non-Essential, or adjust your preferences.
Strictly necessary cookies (e.g. for payments, raffle security, and cookie settings) will always be set, as the site cannot function without them.
5. Managing your cookies
You can change your preferences at any time by reopening the cookie banner (link in the site footer).
You can also disable or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some features (e.g. raffle entries or donations) may not work properly.
6. Updates
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any updates will be published on this page with a new “last updated” date.
