Cookies Policy

When we provide services, we want to make them easy, useful and reliable. Where services are delivered via the internet, this sometimes involves placing small amounts of information on your device, for example, your mobile phone or laptop. These include small files known as cookies, and while they cannot identify you by name and depending on your browsing habits and cookie settings, may be used to create a digital picture of you to enhance and tailor advertising to you.

Please note that if you disable cookies, you may be unable to access parts of the Website.

By continuing to use the Website without disabling cookies, you consent to the use of cookies as detailed below. We use cookies to estimate our audience size and usage pattern, to store information about your preferences, to allow us to customise our site and to recognise you when you return to our site.

Cookie list

A cookie is a small piece of data (text file) that a website – when visited by a user – asks your browser to store on your device to remember information about you. Those cookies are set by us and called first-party cookies. We use these types of cookies to recognise your device so that you don't have to give the same information several times in one visit to our website.

We also use third-party cookies – which are cookies from a domain different than the domain of the website you are visiting and share information to enable more targeted advertising to increase people's awareness and understanding of prison systems around the world.

More specifically, we use cookies and other tracking technologies for the following purposes:

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you that amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not work if you take this action. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

Functional cookies

These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

Performance cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to monitor its performance.

Targeting and behavioural marketing cookies

These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not directly store personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

LinkedIn

Through the use of the LinkedIn Insight tag on our website, a direct connection is made to the LinkedIn server when visiting our website. This enables the collection of data regarding LinkedIn users' visits to our website, including the URL referrer, IP address, device and browser characteristics, timestamp and page views. This data is encrypted, then de-identified within seven days and the deidentified information is deleted within 90 days.

LinkedIn does not share personal data with the Raphael Rowe Foundation, it only provides aggregated reports about the Raphael Rowe Foundation website audience and ad performance. LinkedIn also provides retargeting for Raphael Rowe Foundation website visitors, enabling us to show personalised ads off our website by using this data, but without identifying the LinkedIn user. LinkedIn users can control the use of their personal data for advertising purposes through their account settings.

Social media cookies

These cookies are set by a range of social media services that we have added to the site to enable you to share our content with your friends and networks. They are capable of tracking your browser across other sites and building up a profile of your interests. This may impact the content and messages you see on other websites you visit. If you do not allow these cookies you may not be able to use or see these sharing tools.
