Your service provider (our customer) may have a privacy notice that is relevant to you.

DonorSee also uses some of your data to understand how the DonorSee platform is used and could be improved.

How we use Cookies

Cookies allow web applications to respond to a user as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to a user's needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about user preferences.

Cookies are small, usually randomly encoded, text files that help you navigate through a website. They are generated on the sites that you visit, as well as by third-parties that websites work with, to manage key elements of their business-user functionality. In most cases, they do not involve or use personal information in any way.

Cookies are used extensively online and have become part of the fabric and make-up of what has made the internet work effectively for consumers and businesses. Without cookies, many areas of functionality (for example, user logins, shopping baskets and other customization features) would not work as expected.

Cookie types

Session cookies

Session cookies are temporary cookies that are not stored on a user's computer or mobile device. They are used as part of the login, authentication and session management flows. Certain session cookies are also used to understand, for example, if a user interacting with our website is a new visitor or a visitor returning as part of the same browsing session. These session cookies are erased when a user closes their browser, or after extended inactivity.

Persistent cookies

Persistent cookies are those placed on a user's computer or mobile device for a pre-determined length of time when a user visits this site. They are used on both the platform and our websites, including, for example, to understand (through Google Analytics) what areas of our websites and platform are most popular, and how customers and users engage with them.

Cookie management

Users have the ability to accept or decline the use of cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but a user can usually modify your browser setting to decline all cookies if preferred. Alternatively, many web browsers can be configured to notify the user each time a cookie is tendered, and permit the user to accept or decline them on an individual basis or on a site-by-site basis. If the user chooses to decline cookies from SureMission’s website or Apps, the User may experience some unexpected behaviours or impact to the use of the hosted software
