Home Advocates Foundation (“HAF,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on www.homeadvocatesfoundation.org to help our website function securely, remember visitor preferences, understand website performance, and improve access to our homeowner-support programs.

​

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how HAF may use them, and the choices available to you.

​

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your browser or device when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognize your browser, remember certain settings, support security features, and understand how visitors use website content.

​

Cookies may be session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

​

Types of Cookies We May Use

​

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function securely and properly. They may support security, fraud prevention, website stability, form functionality, load balancing, and other core services. Because these cookies are necessary for the website to operate, they generally cannot be turned off through our cookie-preference tools.

​

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies may remember choices you make, such as language preferences, accessibility settings, form progress, or other website preferences, so that your experience is more convenient when you return.

​

Analytics and Performance Cookies

Where enabled and permitted by your preferences, analytics cookies may help HAF understand how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited, how visitors arrive at the website, whether pages load properly, and how we can improve our content and services.

​

HAF uses this information in aggregated or de-identified form where reasonably possible. We do not use analytics cookies to make decisions about your eligibility for assistance, housing, legal-support resources, or any other HAF program.

​

Marketing or Third-Party Cookies

If HAF uses advertising, social-media integrations, embedded video, maps, donation platforms, or other third-party services, those services may place cookies or similar technologies on your device. These cookies may be used by the applicable third party according to its own privacy practices.

​

HAF will request consent for non-essential marketing or third-party cookies where required by applicable law and where our website tools support that choice.

​

How We Use Cookies

HAF may use cookies and similar technologies to:

​

• Keep the website secure and operating properly

• Prevent fraud, misuse, and unauthorized activity

• Remember visitor choices and preferences

• Improve website speed, performance, and accessibility

• Understand which programs, pages, and resources are most useful to visitors

• Measure the effectiveness of HAF communications and outreach, where enabled

• Support embedded third-party tools or services, where applicable

• Maintain and document cookie-consent preferences

​

Your Cookie Choices

When you first visit our website, you may be presented with a cookie-consent banner that allows you to accept, decline, or manage non-essential cookies.

​

You may also change your cookie preferences at any time by selecting the cookie-settings or privacy-preferences link made available on the website.

​

Third-Party Services

HAF’s website may use third-party providers for website hosting, forms, donations, communications, analytics, embedded content, social-media features, or similar services. These providers may use cookies or comparable technologies in connection with their services.

​

Third-party cookies are governed by the privacy policies and cookie policies of the respective third parties. HAF encourages visitors to review those policies before interacting with external services or submitting personal information through third-party platforms.

​

Personal Information and Cookies

Some cookies or similar technologies may collect information that is considered personal information under applicable privacy laws, such as an IP address, device identifier, browser information, online activity, or general location information.

HAF does not currently sell personal information collected through cookies. HAF does not knowingly use cookie-based information for targeted advertising or to make automated decisions about an individual’s eligibility for charitable assistance, housing, legal-support resources, or other services.

​

If HAF’s cookie or data-use practices materially change, we will update this Cookie Policy and provide any notices or choices required by applicable law.

​

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information HAF maintains about you, as described in our Privacy Policy.
