Holy Trinity Russian Orthodox Church
Cookie Policy
Effective date: June 1, 2026 · holytrinity-church.com
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies our website sets, why we use them, and how you can control them. We keep our use of cookies minimal — only what is strictly necessary to operate the site and record your consent preferences.
What are cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember certain information about your visit — such as whether you have accepted a consent notice — so you are not asked repeatedly. Cookies do not contain personally identifiable information on their own.
Cookies can be session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually.
Cookies we set
Our website uses only functional and consent cookies. We do not set any advertising, analytics, or behavioral tracking cookies.
| Cookie name | Set by | Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
wordpress_*wp-settings-* |
WordPress | Functional | Session / 1 year | Manages your login session and stores editor display preferences for admin users. Not set for regular visitors unless they log in. |
wpc_* |
WPConsent | Functional | 1 year | Records your cookie consent choice so the banner is not shown on every visit. Stored locally in your browser only. |
cf_clearance |
Cloudflare Turnstile | Functional | Session | Issued after a successful bot-verification challenge on our contact forms. Confirms you are human so you are not re-challenged during the same session. No tracking identifier is stored. |
We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any third-party advertising or tracking cookies. No data collected through cookies on this site is used for profiling or targeted advertising.
Cookies set by third-party services
Cloudflare Turnstile — when you submit a contact or prayer request form, Cloudflare’s Turnstile challenge runs to verify you are human. Cloudflare may set a short-lived session token. Turnstile is specifically designed to avoid persistent cross-site tracking. See Cloudflare’s Privacy Policy for details.
Google Fonts — our site loads typefaces from Google Fonts. When your browser requests a font file, Google’s servers receive your IP address and browser user-agent. Google states that it does not use this data to build advertising profiles. See Google Fonts privacy information for details.
Managing your cookie preferences
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time through the cookie banner on our site. You may also control cookies directly through your browser settings. Below are links to cookie management instructions for common browsers:
Please note that disabling functional cookies may affect how some parts of our website operate — for example, the contact form challenge may need to re-run on each visit.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy if we add new features or services to our website. The effective date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent version. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
