Cookies Policy
How and why this website uses cookies and similar technologies. Last updated 5 July 2026.
This Cookies Policy explains how Umeed-e-Noor — A Centre for Special Children (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function correctly, remember your preferences, and provide information to the site owner. Similar technologies such as local storage and pixels perform comparable roles. Cookies may be “session” cookies, which expire when you close your browser, or “persistent” cookies, which remain until they expire or you delete them.
2. Why we use cookies
We use a limited number of cookies to keep the site secure and working, to remember accessibility preferences, and to understand — in aggregate — how visitors use the site so we can improve it. We do not use cookies to sell your data or to build advertising profiles.
3. Types of cookies we use
| Category | Purpose | Set by |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Allow core functions such as page navigation, security, and form submission. The site cannot work properly without these. | Umeed-e-Noor / WordPress |
| Preferences | Remember choices you make, such as your accessibility settings (text size, contrast, and similar), so they persist as you browse. | Umeed-e-Noor |
| Analytics | Help us understand how the site is used through anonymous, aggregated statistics (for example, pages viewed and general location). | Google Analytics 4 |
| Security | Protect our forms from spam and abuse. | Google reCAPTCHA |
4. Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by third-party services we use, such as Google Analytics and Google reCAPTCHA. These providers process data under their own privacy policies. You can learn more from Google’s privacy and terms pages.
5. How long cookies last
Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for varying periods depending on their purpose — analytics cookies, for example, typically last up to a couple of years unless you delete them earlier.
6. Managing and disabling cookies
You are in control of cookies. Most browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies through their settings, and you can set your browser to warn you before accepting them. Please note that disabling essential cookies may prevent parts of the site — such as forms — from working correctly.
Helpful links for common browsers can be found in each browser’s own help centre under “cookies” or “privacy.”
7. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” signal. Because there is no common industry standard for responding to these signals, our site does not currently respond to them, but we keep our use of cookies to the minimum described above.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookies Policy as our practices or the technologies we use change. The “last updated” date shows when it was last revised.
