Cookie Policy
This policy explains how [Honeydew legal name], a non-profit cultural association based at [address] (“Honeydew”, “we”, “us”), uses cookies and similar technologies on honeydew.community. For how we handle personal data in general, please read our Privacy Policy.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. Similar technologies, such as your browser’s local storage, work in much the same way. In this policy, “cookies” covers both.
Some are needed for the website to work. Others help us understand how the site is used and reach people who may want to volunteer, study or support us. We only use the second kind if you say yes.
Your choice
When you first visit, a banner asks whether you accept analytics and marketing cookies.
Accept
We turn on Google Analytics and the Meta Pixel.
Decline
We don’t, and the website works exactly the same.
You can change your mind at any time with Cookie settings at the bottom of every page. If you switch them off, we remove the analytics and marketing cookies already set. You can also delete cookies in your browser settings.
Always on: strictly necessary
These keep the website working and remember choices you make. They don’t track you, so they don’t need your consent.

When these are on, your browser shares information with Google and Meta, such as your IP address, the pages you visit and your type of device. Google and Meta may process this information outside the European Union, under the safeguards in their own privacy policies:
Videos
Some of our pages show videos hosted on YouTube, embedded in YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com). Nothing loads from YouTube until you press play. Once you do, YouTube (Google) receives your IP address and may set its own cookies.
Fonts
Our typeface, EB Garamond, is served from our own servers. Loading it sends nothing to Google and sets no cookies.
Our website platform
Our website runs on The Upgrade Shop, which hosts it and handles our forms on our behalf. When your browser loads images, forms or pop-ups from its servers, no cookies are stored on your device.
Changes to this policy
If we add or change cookies, we’ll update this page and the date at the top. If a change needs your consent, the banner will ask you again.
