This Cookie Policy explains how Human First Society (“Human First Society,” “HFS,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on HumanFirstSociety.org (the “Website”).

This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website.

Cookies allow websites to remember information about your visit and can help websites function properly, maintain security, and provide certain features.

We may also use similar technologies, such as browser storage or security-related technologies, for purposes similar to cookies.

2. How Human First Society Uses Cookies

Human First Society does not currently use cookies for third-party advertising or website analytics.

We use cookies and similar technologies primarily to operate, secure, and maintain essential Website functionality.

These technologies may be used for purposes such as:

• Keeping users logged into their accounts;
• Maintaining user sessions;
• Supporting account and authentication functionality;
• Protecting the Website against malicious traffic and abuse;
• Maintaining Website security;
• Supporting payment-related functionality;
• Remembering necessary Website settings;
• Enabling WordPress functionality; and
• Supporting functionality provided by third-party services used by the Website.

3. Types of Cookies We May Use

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the Website to function properly.

These may include cookies used by WordPress or related components to:

• Authenticate users;
• Maintain login sessions;
• Maintain session information;
• Support account functionality;
• Protect forms and Website functionality; and
• Provide other core Website features.

Because these cookies are necessary for the operation of certain parts of the Website, disabling them may prevent you from logging in or using features such as the business verification application.

Security Cookies

Human First Society uses Cloudflare to help protect the Website against malicious traffic, automated abuse, and other security threats.

Cloudflare may use cookies or similar technologies to identify legitimate visitors, distinguish automated traffic, and provide security services.

These technologies may process technical information such as IP addresses, browser characteristics, device information, and information about requests made to the Website.

Functionality Cookies

Some cookies may be used to support Website functionality provided by WordPress, Elementor, or other components of the Website.

These cookies may allow the Website to function correctly when you interact with forms, account features, pages, or other interactive elements.

Payment-Related Cookies

Human First Society uses PayPal to process certain payments and subscriptions.

When you interact with PayPal payment or subscription functionality, PayPal may use cookies and similar technologies as part of its services.

PayPal’s use of cookies and other technologies is governed by PayPal’s own policies.

Human First Society does not control the cookies used directly by PayPal.

4. Cookies We Do Not Currently Use

Human First Society does not currently use cookies for:

• Google Analytics or similar analytics services;
• Behavioral advertising;
• Selling or renting personal information;
• Building advertising profiles;
• Cross-site advertising tracking; or
• Personalized advertising based on your activity on HumanFirstSociety.org.

If we introduce analytics, advertising, or other non-essential tracking technologies in the future, this Cookie Policy may be updated accordingly.

Where required by applicable law, we will also provide appropriate notice and obtain consent before using non-essential cookies.

5. Third-Party Services

Some functionality on the Website is provided by third-party services.

These services may use their own cookies or similar technologies.

Our current third-party services may include:

• WordPress — website and account functionality;
• Elementor — website and page functionality;
• Cloudflare — security and performance;
• PayPal — payment and subscription processing; and
• Website hosting and infrastructure providers.

Third-party services operate independently and may change the cookies or technologies they use.

Their use of cookies and personal information is governed by their respective policies.

6. Managing Cookies

Most modern web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings.

You can generally:

• View stored cookies;
• Delete existing cookies;
• Block cookies;
• Allow cookies only from certain websites; or
• Configure your browser to notify you before accepting cookies.

Please note that blocking or deleting essential cookies may affect the functionality of HumanFirstSociety.org.

For example, you may be unable to:

• Log into your account;
• Maintain an active session;
• Submit a verification application; or
• Use certain Website features.

7. Do Not Track Signals

Some web browsers provide a “Do Not Track” setting.

Because there is currently no universally accepted standard for responding to Do Not Track signals, Human First Society does not currently respond to such signals in a standardized manner.

8. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when our Website, services, technologies, or legal obligations change.

When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.
