Cookies Policy
Effective date: 27 April 2026 | Jurisdiction: Queensland, Australia
This Cookies Policy explains how stjosephsconvent.org uses cookies and similar technologies. It should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy.
1. Scope of this Policy
This Cookies Policy applies solely to the Engrave a Brick fundraising activity conducted by St Philomena School in support of the St Joseph's Convent project, and to the use of cookies and similar technologies on this website (stjosephsconvent.org).
It does not apply to any other website, system, platform or activity of St Philomena School, each of which may be subject to separate cookie and privacy arrangements.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored by your web browser when you visit a website. They are commonly used to make a site function properly, to remember preferences, and to collect analytical information about how a site is used.
3. Cookies Set Directly by This Site
This website sets no first-party cookies. The donation form stores no data in your browser between visits. The unique payment reference code generated for you exists only for the duration of your page session and is not persisted in cookies or local storage.
4. Third-Party Cookies and Similar Technologies
Third-party services used by the Site may set cookies or process comparable technical data (such as IP address or request headers) when you visit the Site:
- GitHub Pages (website hosting) — may log technical request data but does not typically set cookies for static-site visitors.
- Cloudflare (DNS resolution) — may briefly process your IP address to route requests. Cloudflare does not set cookies on this Site because proxying is disabled.
- Google Fonts (font delivery) — your browser makes a request to fonts.gstatic.com when loading the Site. Google does not set cookies through the Google Fonts service, but does receive standard request headers including your IP address.
- Formspark (form submission) — when you submit the donation form, Formspark processes the submission server-side. Formspark does not set cookies on this Site during normal form use.
5. Purpose of Any Processing
Where third-party services process technical data, they do so for the strictly necessary purposes of delivering the website, routing traffic, and receiving form submissions. None of these services are used for advertising, profiling, or behavioural tracking on this Site.
6. Managing Cookies in Your Browser
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View which cookies have been set
- Delete existing cookies
- Block all cookies, or cookies from specific sites
- Receive a prompt before a cookie is stored
For instructions specific to your browser, please refer to its help documentation:
Please note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of some websites, though this Site will continue to function normally because it does not rely on cookies.
7. Do Not Track Signals
Because this Site does not track users, no "Do Not Track" signals are required or processed.
8. Changes to this Policy
This Cookies Policy may be updated from time to time. The effective date at the top of this page will indicate when the current version was published.
