Cookie Policy

Effective September 6, 2026.

This Cookie Policy explains how Washington Douglass Chorale ("WDC," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on https://douglasschoraledc.org/.

What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files that a website or service stores on or reads from a browser or device. Similar technologies include pixels, tags, local storage, and scripts. They may support a single browsing session or remain for a longer period, depending on their purpose and settings.

How the Website Uses Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Website uses or may use the following categories:

Necessary Cookies and Technologies

These support functions needed to deliver and protect the Website, remember consent choices, operate requested features, prevent abuse, and maintain basic security. Some necessary technologies cannot be disabled through the Website banner because the Website may not work correctly without them.

Analytics Cookies and Technologies

WDC uses Google Analytics 4 to understand Website traffic and use, including page views, referral sources, engagement, and technical information about devices and browsers. Google Analytics 4 remains active as part of the Website's standard statistical measurement. Google advertising storage, signals, and personalization remain disabled unless a visitor accepts Advertising cookies through the Website's consent controls.

Marketing and Advertising Cookies and Technologies

WDC uses Meta Pixel for campaign and outreach measurement. Meta-related marketing and advertising consent remains denied unless a visitor accepts Advertising cookies through the Website's consent controls.

Third-Party Features

Website features may request services from Squarespace, Mailchimp, Cloudflare, Google Custom Search, YouTube, an external scheduling service, AudienceView/OvationTix, Meta, and other services that a visitor chooses to use. A third-party feature may place or read cookies or receive device and interaction information under that provider's policies and settings.

Following a link to a third-party website may allow that website to use its own cookies. WDC does not control cookies set on an external website.

Cookie Consent Banner

The Website displays a cookie notification banner. Performance and analytics measurement remains active, while you can accept or decline Advertising cookies. If you decline Advertising cookies, advertising storage and personalization remain disabled.

Your Choices

You can manage or delete cookies through your browser. When the Website cookie banner is presented, you can manage Advertising cookies there. Browser settings may also allow you to block cookies, receive a notice before a cookie is stored, or delete stored cookies. Blocking or deleting cookies may affect Website functions.

How Long Cookies Remain

Some cookies last only for the current browser session. Others remain until they expire, are replaced, or are deleted through browser or provider settings. Duration depends on the cookie's purpose and the settings of the service that provides it.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

WDC may update this Cookie Policy when Website technologies, practices, or obligations change. The current version and effective date will be posted on this page.
