Cookie Policy
Last updated: 7 October 2026
The site uses no advertising or tracking cookies. It uses a few small files to keep you signed in, keep forms working and, only if you agree, to remember your choices and the ambassador who invited you.
Strictly necessary (always on)
The site cannot work without these, so they do not need your consent.
| Name | What it does | Type | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| sd_at | Keeps you signed in to your donor, ambassador or admin page | Cookie, set by our server, not readable by page scripts | 1 hour |
| sd_rt | Renews your sign-in so you stay signed in | Cookie, set by our server, not readable by page scripts | 30 days, or until you sign out |
| socasemp-last-donor | Carries the details you just typed into the gift form to your thank-you and sign-up pages, so you don't type them twice | Session storage in your browser | Until you close the tab, at most 2 hours |
| socasemp-consent | Remembers your answer to the cookie banner | Local storage in your browser | 12 months |
| Cloudflare Turnstile | Checks that forms are filled in by a person, not a bot | Runs in a frame from challenges.cloudflare.com | Per check |
| __cf_bm (only if Cloudflare's bot protection switches it on) | Tells real visitors from bots | Cookie set by Cloudflare | 30 minutes |
Preferences (only with your consent)
| Name | What it does | Type | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| sd_ref | Remembers the ambassador whose link you used, so they are credited if you come back to give later | Cookie, set by our server, not readable by page scripts | 30 days; a newer ambassador link replaces it |
| socasemp-currency | Remembers whether you chose Naira or US dollars on the gift form | Local storage in your browser | Until you clear your browser data |
If you say no, the site still works fully. An ambassador is still credited when you give straight from their link, and the currency is chosen afresh on each visit.
Payments
Card and bank payments through Paystack open in a secure pop-up from Paystack on our page. Paystack may use its own cookies inside that pop-up to process your payment, under its own policies.
Statistics (no cookies)
Cloudflare Web Analytics counts page visits without cookies and without identifying you.
Other services the page loads
The page loads its lettering from Google Fonts and project pictures from socasemp.org. They set no cookies, but your browser shares your IP address with them, as with any website.
Changing your mind
You can also use "Cookie settings" at the bottom of the donate page, or delete cookies and site data in your browser's settings. For anything else, see our Privacy Policy or email support@socasemp.org.
