This Cookie Policy explains how The Unstitute ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website located at www.theunstitute.org.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help websites remember information about your visit. In addition to cookies, we use embedded third-party services that may collect your IP address, browser type, and usage data to load media, display fonts, or handle form submissions.
We limit our use of tracking technologies to essential functionality, basic performance metrics, and embedded media. Below is a breakdown of the services we use:
A. Analytics (Performance Cookies)
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website.
What it does: It tracks data such as which pages you visit, how long you stay, and what country you are accessing the site from.
Privacy info: This data is aggregated and anonymized. Google sets persistent cookies (_ga, _gid) in your browser to distinguish you from other users.
B. Embedded Media (Functionality & Targeting Cookies)
Our website uses i-frame media players (such as YouTube, Vimeo, Substack, Soundcloud, Archive.org, or MixCloud) to play audio or video content directly on our pages.
What it does: When you load a page with an embedded player, the third-party media provider may set cookies or track your interaction with the player.
Privacy info: These platforms may use this data to remember your playback preferences or, if you are logged into their service, link your viewing history to your personal account for targeted advertising.
C. Embedded Forms (Essential & Functionality Cookies)
We embed Google Forms directly into our website to collect user feedback or inquiries.
What it does: Google may deploy necessary cookies or collect browser telemetry data to ensure the form functions securely, prevents spam, and submits data correctly.
D. Content Delivery & Fonts (Tracking & Telemetry)
We use Google Fonts to maintain a consistent and clean design across our website.
What it does: To serve the fonts efficiently, your browser sends a request directly to Google’s servers.
Privacy info: While Google Fonts does not set traditional tracking cookies, Google does log font requests and basic browser/IP telemetry data to optimize their network.
Note: Our Mailchimp newsletter signup links out to an external page. Mailchimp does not deploy tracking cookies on our website during this process.
You can control or delete cookies at any time through your web browser.
Browser Controls: You can set your browser to refuse all cookies or to alert you when a cookie is being sent. To do this, look at the support documentation for your browser (such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, or Microsoft Edge).
Impact of Opting Out: If you disable cookies completely, please note that some parts of our website—specifically embedded videos, audio clips, and forms—may stop functioning correctly.
We may update this policy occasionally to reflect changes in our tools or legal requirements. Please check back regularly to stay informed.
