Cookie Policy

Effective date September 21, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how ROW Global Health and ROW Foundation (collectively, “ROW,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) use cookies and similar technologies when you visit https://rowglobal.org/ (the “Website”). This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files placed on a computer, tablet, or mobile device when a person visits a website. Cookies and similar technologies, such as pixels, tags, local storage, and software development tools, may support website operation, security, audience measurement, embedded content, and communication preferences.

Cookies set directly through the Website are commonly called first-party cookies. Cookies set by another organization whose services appear on the Website are commonly called third-party cookies.

How the Website Uses Cookies

Strictly Necessary Technologies
These technologies support essential Website functions, security, form operation, preference storage, and protection against spam or automated abuse. They may include technologies associated with WordPress, website hosting, security tools, and Google reCAPTCHA.

Analytics Cookies
ROW uses Google Analytics to understand aggregate Website traffic, page usage, device and browser characteristics, referring pages, and general Website performance. Google Analytics may use cookies commonly named _ga and _ga_<container-id>. ROW does not use Google Analytics on this Website for remarketing or personalized advertising.

Embedded Media Technologies
The Website may include videos or other content embedded from Vimeo, YouTube, or similar providers. These providers may use cookies or similar technologies when embedded content loads or is played. They may collect device, network, account, and interaction information in accordance with their own privacy policies. If you are signed in to an account with the provider, the provider may associate your interaction with that account.

Newsletter and Communication Technologies
ROW uses Constant Contact to manage email subscriptions and communications. Constant Contact may use tracking technologies in subscription forms or emails to process subscription requests, record delivery, understand whether an email was opened, and measure interactions with links. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link included in those communications.

External Donation and Sharing Services
The Website links to external services used for donations, donor-advised funds, international giving, and social sharing. These may include Bonterra Network for Good, TrustBridge Global, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and other providers. Those services may place or access cookies after you follow a link or interact with their features. Their practices are controlled by their own policies, not this Cookie Policy.

The specific cookies used and their retention periods may change when ROW or a service provider updates its technology. Your browser’s developer tools or cookie settings may display the cookies currently stored on your device.

Google Analytics

ROW uses Google Analytics strictly to understand aggregate Website use and performance. Google may process information such as an IP address, device and browser information, referring pages, pages viewed, approximate location, and interaction data in accordance with its terms and privacy practices.

Information about Google’s privacy practices is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy. Google also provides an Analytics opt-out browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Google reCAPTCHA

The Website may use Google reCAPTCHA to distinguish human activity from automated abuse. reCAPTCHA may collect hardware and software information, IP address information, and interaction data and send it to Google for security analysis. Use of reCAPTCHA is subject to Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

Vimeo and YouTube

The Website may contain videos embedded from Vimeo or YouTube. These providers may collect information and use cookies or similar technologies when their content loads or is played. Their collection and use of information are governed by their respective privacy policies.

Managing Cookies

Most browsers allow you to view, delete, or block cookies and limit certain tracking technologies. Blocking cookies may affect the appearance or operation of certain Website features, including forms, embedded videos, or security functions. Browser controls differ, so consult your browser’s help documentation or privacy settings for instructions.

Where required by applicable law, you may also be given an opportunity to make choices regarding nonessential cookies. You may avoid interacting with embedded content or third-party links if you do not want information transmitted to the applicable provider.

International Visitors

Visitors in certain countries may have additional rights regarding cookies and similar technologies. Where applicable law requires consent before a nonessential technology is used, ROW will endeavor to honor the choices made through available consent controls. Browser settings alone may not prevent every third-party technology from operating.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when our Website, service providers, technologies, or legal obligations change. The effective date displayed at the top identifies the current version.
